Did you know that the air inside your home contains many more contaminants than the air outside? Well—on average, at least—it’s true. But during the winter months, we’re not able to air out our homes very often without paying a lot extra for heat. And it’s also the season when we’re most likely to encounter germs like the cold and flu!

What can we do to breathe fewer contaminants and germs without letting all the heat out of our homes? There are great ways to improve your indoor air quality or “IAQ,” and an air purifier is at the top of the list. Here’s an IAQ FAQ for you.

Yes, this is Louisiana, and for much of the year, our weather is hot and steamy. We don’t need our heating systems up and running from September through May like they might in the northern reaches of the US. But we do need them! Average low temperatures in January are in the upper 30s, which means it often gets significantly colder than that. It’s not just a matter of comfort, it’s a matter of safety, and not having frozen pipes burst in the night!

We simply can’t do without reliable heat. When a furnace is getting on in years, needs a costly repair, or doesn’t ever seem to work as effectively or efficiently as it used to, it needs to be replaced. Do you need a new furnace installed? Or is the old one still worth repairing? Let’s take a closer look and figure it out.

November 11th, 2024

During the long winter months, things can get a little stuffy in your home. You’ll be running the heat, keeping the windows closed, and breathing the same air as it cycles through your HVAC system over and over again. And whatever is in your ducts will simply cycle through over and over as well. What’s in there? And do you really want to breathe it?

Because ductwork can stay in position for many years—decades, even—it’s easy to forget about it. Generally, it’s behind your walls, or up in your attic, where you don’t have a clear view even of the outside of the ducts. And the inside is a total mystery! If it’s been awhile since you’ve had your ducts cleaned, have it done now! It’ll make the air you breathe this winter so much fresher.
