Three Strategies for Improving Indoor Air Quality

Three Strategies for Improving Indoor Air Quality

When we think of air pollution, many of us picture billowing smokestacks or the exhaust from thousands of vehicles sitting in traffic.

We rarely think about the quality of the air inside our homes, but Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies suggest that indoor levels of pollutants may be two to five times — and occasionally more than 100 times — higher than outdoor levels!

Common indoor pollutants like biological contaminants (e.g., bacteria, viruses, animal dander, cat saliva, dust mites, cockroaches, and pollen), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), radon (RN), indoor particulate matter; and secondhand smoke have been linked to negative health outcomes ranging from allergies and asthma to lung cancer and heart disease.

The good news is that, when it comes to the quality of the air inside your home, you can take matters into your own hands. For that, the EPA suggests three basic strategies:

Source Control

Some sources of pollution, like asbestos, should just be eliminated. Others, like gas emanating from a gas stove, can be adjusted to reduce emissions.

Improved Ventilation

Increasing the amount of outdoor air inside your home by opening windows and doors, operating attic fans, or running a window unit with the

Don’t Be Fooled By Scammers!

Don’t Be Fooled By Scammers!

It seems like not a day goes by that we don’t receive an email, phone call or text message with some kind of scam. 

Most scams are quite obvious, in fact, they’re obvious by design. Those typo-laden “Nigerian Prince” scams (to cite the classic example) are meant to weed out less-trusting individuals who won’t ultimately send the requested cash. Some scams are a little more sophisticated…

You’ve probably received emails that look like they’re coming from Amazon or Venmo or Bank of America – any company that enough people have or have had an account with so that some percentage of email recipients will be tempted to click on a link that downloads a virus or takes you to a page where you’ll be asked to enter your username and password for that company.

If you’re trying to scam consumers in Broward or Palm Beach, or any number of places in the great state of Florida – there’s a pretty good chance those consumers are going to have an FPL account. That’s why so many scammers pretend to be affiliated with FPL (and other utilities in other areas).

According to FPL, some of the most common scams include:

An Ounce of Prevention

An Ounce of Prevention

When it comes to keeping your AC running at peak efficiency, Ben Franklin had it right!

Okay, he was probably (definitely) talking about something else but, when it comes to your Air Conditioning and Heating system - an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure.

If you live in South Florida, there’s a really good chance your Air Conditioning system runs non-stop all year, and it really earns it’s keep during our scorching Florida summers. If you want to keep your AC from failing in the summer – schedule a preventive maintenance visit in the spring.

Regular maintenance extends the life of your system, so you save money in the long run and it keeps it running at peak efficiency, so your energy bills are lower (and your home is less humid) in the short run. It also helps you avoid about 85% of the issues that your neighbors who don’t maintain their systems call us for. Best of all, the chance of your system breaking down at the most inconvenient time (which is also when AC companies are busiest) are greatly reduced.

And, if you don’t think your Air Conditioning system needs regular maintenance because it’s

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

Halloween is a fun time, bugs adore Halloween just as much as we do.

It’s the time of year that families start spending more time inside the home. Within the Air Conditioning system, left untreated, you'll find nasty bugs.

These microorganisms breed in the condensation tray, hiding in the darkness, wallowing in the damp conditions. As they quickly multiply, they create the slime that can be found in the drain line, evaporator pan and condensate pump, this causes the pan to overflow and your air conditioning to break down

Bacteria loves dust!

Change your air filters regularly to prevent slime build up. Air can't pass through a dirty filter and the motor has to work harder. The air quality will be affected. If anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma their symptoms can be exacerbated. We can STOP bugs and slime NOW!

SLIME BUILD UP IF LEFT UNTREATED

Ever have a hard time getting warranty service?

Ever have a hard time getting warranty service?

Whether it’s an air conditioner, a water heater or a coffee maker, most manufacturers will require you to register equipment shortly after purchase in order to offer you their basic factory warranty.

Unlike a coffee maker which can be easily replaced, warranty service for major equipment requires more than a phone call to the manufacturer and voiding those warranties is easier than you might think.

When it comes to major equipment, using off-brand replacement parts or failing to use an authorized service provider for repairs and regular preventive maintenance are just a few of the things that can void your warranty and, when it comes time for warranty service, you’ll need an authorized service provider to diagnose the problem and deal with the manufacturer.

Manufacturers will often require service providers to send back a defective part so they can confirm that it is, in fact, defective and, if they determine that the replaced part was still good, the service provider will be held liable for the cost of the part, plus an additional financial penalty.

And, while the basic factory warranty will cover the cost of a warrantied part, it won’t cover the costs associated with diagnosing the problem, ordering

2021 Hurricane Season

Living in Florida, you probably are used to preparing for bad weather, but is preparing your Air Conditioning System part of that routine?

According to forecasters with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, is expected to be an “above normal” season with 13 to 20 named storms, including 3 to 5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher).

These tips will keep you comfortable and your AC protected in the event of a hurricane:

Clear and Cover

Prior to the storm, bring in any outdoor tables, chairs or other items that could become airborne and cause damage to the AC System. You can even cover the outside unit with a tarp in order to keep it free from flying leaves, dirt and other debris, but make sure to remove the covering before you turn the unit back on!

Cool Down Your House

Before the threat of the storm is imminent, try cooling your house as much as possible so you are comfortable for a while after you turn off your AC System.

Are You Concerned About Your Indoor Air Quality?

Are You Concerned About Your Indoor Air Quality?

The Air Conditioning recirculates the air that we breathe around our homes.

Filters do relatively little to reduce the number of small particles you inhale, that’s because these particles tend to be in the air wherever there is human activity—and that’s not necessarily where your return registers and ductwork can capture them.

When the fan is not running the air is not being filtered.

The primary purpose of a filter is to protect the Air Conditioning equipment, not to improve indoor air quality, even though of course it does help and filters should be changed regularly.

Harmful bacteria and viruses can live up to a week in your living or workspace.

Contaminants like dust, pet dander, odors and gases from construction materials even the aerosol sprays that we use are all trapped inside of our living spaces.

After years of research exciting new technologies are now available that can dramatically improve the quality of the air that your family breathe.

Installed in your Air Conditioning system, the friendly scrubbers of an Air Purifier seek out and destroy germs as well as the ones living on the surfaces of your home.

Particularly helpful for children, the elderly and anyone with allergies

80% of breakdowns are as a result of a dirty filter

Wet, dark conditions provide the perfect environment for the growth of microorganisms.The slime grows quickly, left untreated multiple issues are quickly created as bacteria loves dust! As dirt accumulates on the filter, air can't pass, the motor has to work harder.As the slime grows it will completely block the condensate line, causing the pan to overflow and the air conditioning will break down.

Dirty air filters affect the air quality and can exacerbate symptoms if anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma.

Simple Yet Effective Tips to Prolong The Life Of Your Air Conditioning System

The most common cause of a breakdown is because of a dirty filter!

As dirt accumulates on the filter, air can't pass, the motor then has to work harder, this can result in higher bills, costly repairs or even a replacement unit if it's older.\

Dirty filters affect the air quality, if any of your family suffer from allergies or asthma they can exacerbate the symptoms. If you have a pet, dander accumulates in the system and then spreads allergens throughout the house. Changing the filter regularly is simple yet effective

Always Hire a Licensed Contractor

Always Hire a Licensed Contractor

All-Pro Electrical and Air Conditioning is licensed and insured. You can trust All-Pro to perform top quality work, and we will stand behind it!

Unfortunately many people think they can save money by using unlicensed contractors.

Dangers of Hiring Unlicensed Contractors

Fines for the homeowner: Hiring an unlicensed contractor is a violation of Florida Statute 455.228 which can result in a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for the home or business owner, and you could be liable for the court costs on top of that.

Also, if an unlicensed contractor files bankruptcy or skips out while working on your home or business, you are responsible for all fines, unpaid bills to suppliers, and for the wages of employees who worked for the unlicensed contractor.

Poor qualifications: Unlicensed individuals have not demonstrated the education, insurance, or qualification required of a licensed contractor. This can leave you with poor quality work or unfinished projects, which means that you could spend more money hiring another contractor to repair or finish the project.

Possible criminal background: Unlicensed individuals frequently have criminal backgrounds that may include fraud, theft, violent crime, sexual offenses, and substance abuse.

Likelihood of becoming the victim of a scam: Unlicensed
