Action Air understands that pets are part of our families, however, they may be causing issues with your HVAC. Here are some tips for keeping your pet and home healthy.

Change the filters

• HEPA filters are the most effective way to fight off pet hair and dander.
• You should change your air filter every 30-60 days.

Clean the ducts

• Inspect your ducts for pet hair, dust, and debris.
• Pet dander is tiny particles of skin that animals with fur shed. Dander will find a way to get into the air ducts which then get stirred up and recirculated through the home every time the HVAC system is turned on.

Clean your carpets

• Your carpets are filled with different allergens such as pet hair and dust as well as dirt from outside.
• If your home has poor IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) it will have a negative impact on your family’s health. Symptoms of highly polluted indoor air include:
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Coughing
  • Sneezing
  • Dryness of eyes, nose, and throat
  • Flu-like symptoms
• These effects are minimized by maintaining a clean home, especially the carpet.
• If it’s time to get a new vacuum cleaner, Action Air suggests buying one with HEPA filtration.

Groom your pet

• When your pet is clean and their fur is trimmed, your home and indoor air stay cleaner.
• Less shedding means less fur in the filter and ducts.

Keep the outdoor unit clean

• Make sure your pets don’t damage your outdoor units.
• If your pet claws at and “marks” the unit, it can lead to damaging corrosion over time.
• Avoid damage by investing in a small enclosure for the unit that doesn’t block airflow, but will keep pets and other outside animals away.

Action Air wants you to be aware of what causes leaky ductwork and how it can affect your utility bills

Leaky ducts impact your HVAC performance

Your HVAC unit relies on a system of ductwork to get heated or cooled air to various rooms in your home. If there is a leak in your ductwork, it can either rob your air conditioner of energy by forcing it to work harder. This raises both your monthly utility bills and your chances of a more serious problem later on.

Ductwork systems are usually not visible because they are located in attics, behind walls, or out-of-the-way locations. Because they are not visible, it might be hard to detect any leakage. 

Here’s what to look for:

• Hot or cold spots in your house.
• Strange noises like whistling, banging, or a hissing sound.
• If you notice one or more of your vents has a decline in airflow.
• Higher energy bills.
  • These could be caused by the loss of efficiency generated by the ductwork leak.
• Warm air coming from vents during the summer months.
  • If you notice warmer air is coming from all the vents, this could be a problem in the HVAC system itself. In that case, you’ll need to call Action Air immediately.

How leaky ductwork happens

• During construction or remodeling of your home, some ductwork could be damaged unknowingly.
• Rodents could be getting into your attic and damaging the ductwork.
• Of course, damage may occur from general wear and tear over the years.

If you notice any of these problems or if your HVAC unit is over 10 years old, you need to call Action Air for a complete ductwork inspection. Set up a free estimate today!

And don’t forget to always protect your investment with preventative maintenance from Action Air.

Action Air has the latest information about ductless mini-split systems and why they could be a good choice for your home

Flexible Solution

• Mini-split heat pumps deliver air directly into different zones.
  • Traditional HVAC systems force cooled and heated air through ducts.
• They consist of a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units that require nothing more than mounting capabilities and access to electricity.

Save You Money

• Mini-split systems operate on less power.
• They are smaller than traditional forced-air systems.
• Because the temperature-controlled air is delivered directly into a room, there is no loss of efficiency.
• You don’t have to heat or cool rooms that you don’t use.

Improve Air Quality

• Ductless air conditioning and heating systems offer multi-stage filtration that drastically reduces dust, bacteria, pollen, and other contaminants.
  • Traditional HVAC systems need to have air ducts professionally cleaned on a regular basis.
• Plus, mini-splits have washable filters you can clean and replace regularly.

Easy to Install

• Unlike installation of traditional units which can take days, ductless systems are far less invasive to install and can be up and running in a day.
• Mini-split systems run on small pipes that require a small three-inch hole.
• You don’t have to worry about building around ductwork, so it takes up less square footage.

Ductless mini-split systems are effective for homes that have:

• Livable attics or basements
• Sunrooms that can be used during the winter months
• Garages converted to living quarters
• Hot spots and cold spots that never feel comfortable
• Guest rooms, rec rooms, or other rooms that are rarely used

Action Air has the latest information about the REME HALO air purifier and why it’s a good idea to have this installed in your home, especially now.

What is REME?

REME stands for reflective electro magnetic energy. The REME air purifier uses the latest technology to replicate the natural process of hydrogen-peroxide molecules that purify the air in the great outdoors.

• It produces ionized hydrogen-peroxide molecules and distributes them throughout your entire home.
• These molecules sweep through the air, breaking down any signs of bacteria, viruses, mold spores, odors, and VOCs, destroying them on the spot.
• The system also passes a charge that induces other particles like dust and dander to band together making them bigger and therefore making it easier for your existing filter to catch.
• This system purifies every cubic foot of your air-conditioned home, leaving you with fresh, clean air.

Benefits:

• Kills up to 99% of the bacteria and viruses in the air.
• Reduces sneeze germs by 99% in the time it takes a sneeze to reach three feet.
• Diminishes airborne particulate matter like dust, pollen, allergens, dander, and microbes.
• Minimizes odors from pets, cooking, and musty rooms.
• Easily integrates with your current HVAC system and operates quietly.

What about COVID-19?

• According to the RGF Environmental Group, Inc., the REME Halo efficacy is 99.9% against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, commonly known as the coronavirus 2019 or COVID-19 (it is important to note that these studies are ongoing).

If you would like more information about installing the REME HALO Air purification system in your home, contact Action Air.

Action Air explains why your HVAC system needs annual preventative maintenance check-ups to ensure high-quality performance

Here’s what can happen if you skip a check-up:

• System issues can escalate
• You can experience higher heating and cooling bills
• Poor indoor air quality
• A faulty system can increase fire risks
• Warranty cancellation

The worst time for your system to breakdown is in the dead of winter or on an extremely hot day in summer. During preventative maintenance, your technician can foresee problems before they become bigger problems that could cause a component failure.

Manufacturer warranties require professional maintenance in order to remain in effect. If you fail to have regular maintenance required by the terms of the warranty, it could void the warranty and you’d be stuck with a higher repair bill.

Having regular preventative maintenance extends the life of your HVAC system.

It includes:

• Proper adjustment, lubrication, and servicing of your HVAC system to keep it running at peak, trouble-free efficiency
• Reduced repairs – many times our techs will spot minor problems before they become major issues
• Competent experts that will work around your schedule
• Trouble-free guarantee – the diagnostic fee will be waived if repairs are required in the same season your cleaning was performed
• 24-hour service
• Priority service
• And we will send automatic reminders when it’s time for your next preventative maintenance service

Action Air provides both cooling season planned maintenance and heating season planned maintenance. These will prolong the life of your HVAC system. 

If you can’t remember the last time you had preventative maintenance service, it’s time to call Action Air.

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and toxic gas that claims over 430 lives a year. Action Air gives you the lowdown on how to keep you and your family safe from this dangerous threat

What is carbon monoxide?

• Carbon monoxide comes when carbon fuel like wood, gasoline, coal, propane, natural gas, and heating oil fails to burn completely.
• These energy sources aren’t dangerous when you burn them in an open area with plenty of ventilation but are hazardous in confined spaces.
• It is dangerous because it can go undetected until it is too late.

Why is carbon monoxide dangerous?

• Carbon monoxide is odorless, therefore impossible to notice.
• It binds with your red blood cells and starves your body of oxygen.
• The early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
• These are similar to symptoms of a cold or flu, making it easy to ignore.
• Read more from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Prevention

• Never heat your home with a gas range.
• Don’t run your car in the garage with the door shut.
• Always have proper ventilation when running gas-powered tools such as:
  • Generators
  • Space heaters
  • Pressure washers
  • Especially in enclosed spaces like a basement or garage.
• Practice cooking safely while camping.
• Have gas heating systems checked annually for cracked heat exchangers.
• Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

Carbon monoxide detectors

• Detectors sound an alarm when they sense a certain amount of carbon monoxide.
• You should have at least one detector for each level of your home.
• They should be placed near bedrooms.

What to do if the detector alarm goes off?

• Don’t panic.
• Gather everyone in your household and go outside.
• If possible, open as many windows and doors as you can before leaving.
• Call 911 and do not go back inside until emergency responders deem your home is safe to reenter.

If you want more information about carbon monoxide detectors, give us a call or contact us here.

‘Tis the season for decorating, just beware of certain threats to your HVAC system. Action Air has some safety tips to keep in mind during the holiday season

Don’t cover your vents

• Prevent your Christmas tree, decorations, or presents from covering any air vents. Free the vents from any obstructions so it can dispense a good amount of air in your home and let your unit work in good condition.

Don’t decorate your outdoor unit

• Outdoor decorations make your home shine during the holidays. Your neighbors will love it but your HVAC unit may not work as well if you put them too close to it. Keep decorations at least 3 feet away so it can work properly and efficiently.

Don’t cover the thermostat

• If you hide your thermostat with decorations it will make it harder for the device to read the temperature in your home which can result in a chilly home and higher utility bills.

Keep decorations away from heating sources

• Make sure to keep your paper, blankets, and packages away from heaters, radiators, and other household equipment that emit heat to avoid fire hazards.

Schedule your unit inspection

• Now is a good time to have your HVAC unit inspected. The cold winter months especially the holidays, wouldn’t be a pleasant time for your HVAC unit to break down.
• Call Action Air and let us take the worry out of maintaining your unit during this special time of the year.

Action Air has some tips on how to keep your HVAC running smoothly during the fall months before the cold winter arrives

Refrigerant Leaks

• As the summer weather cools down in the fall, your HVAC system suffers from a lot of pressure. As a result, the refrigerant pipes may end up leaking causing serious problems. 
• Solution: Action Air includes this check-up in your regularly scheduled maintenance agreement.

Clogs

• Leaf debris reduces airflow, clogs condenser coils, and invites mold and bacteria growth. 
• Solution: Rake leaves at least once a week. Make sure you rake them away from the outdoor unit to prevent spraying dirt and debris towards them.

Dirty Air Filters

• Dirty air filters make your HVAC system operate less efficiently.
• You should change your air filters every 30 to 90 days.
• This ensures that your system is pumping in clean air into your home.

More solutions:

• Avoid planting trees or shrubs too close to your HVAC unit.
• Try to keep a 3-foot cleared area around the compressor at all times.
