When Is the Best Time to Have a Humidifier Installed?

Monday, May 8th, 2017

humidifier-installed-best-timeLiving in Utah, we are all too familiar with the experience of dry air. The lack of moisture in the air can cause a variety of the problems in the home, particularly during the summer when you need to run your air conditioner to keep the heat away—because your air conditioner actually helps dehumidify your home, decreasing the already low levels of moisture.

If you aren’t already taking advantage of a whole-home humidifying system, then the best time for a Layton, UT humidifier installation is right now, while our current humidity levels are relatively balanced. You’ve likely seen portable humidifiers in drug stores, used to help alleviate cold symptoms or even allergy symptoms, especially for young children.

Winter Inversions and What They Mean for Indoor Air Quality

Tuesday, February 21st, 2017

winter-inversions-indoor-air-qualityNo matter what part of the country you reside in, your indoor air quality can be worse than that of the quality outdoors. When you live somewhere like Utah, that becomes an even bigger problem—due to something called an inversion.

Wintertime inversions are a common occurrence here, and happen when normal atmospheric conditions become inverted, trapping a dense layer of cold air under a layer of warm air, and along with it trapping pollutants. As can be expected, this makes the air outdoors and within your home very unhealthy—particularly if you are not equipped with the right indoor air quality products.

Why Should You Choose Whole-House Air Filtration?

Monday, November 21st, 2016

If you use a central air conditioning system to keep your home cool and comfortable during the summer, and a furnace to stay warm during the winter, then you may be putting the quality of your indoor air at risk. This is also true if you keep your windows and doors open often to allow for natural ventilation.

When you use your central HVAC system or leave your windows and doors open, you are inviting airborne pollutants—dust, dirt, pollen—into your home. They can infiltrate your home through leaks in your ductwork or simply from the outdoors. Does this mean that you should stop using your HVAC system as much, or keep your doors and windows closed up more? No, the solution is a lot more convenient than that—a whole-house air filtration system.
