We Spend 90% of our lives indoors, where, according to the EPA
reports, air quality is frequently more polluted than the air
outdoors. A cubic foot of indoor air can have as many as 30 million
pollutants that can trigger allergies, cause headaches, lung
irritation, fatigue and more.
In
fact, the
American College of Allergists states that 50%of illness are caused
or aggravated by poor indoor air quality.
Heating and cooling equipment also suffers. So do your energy bills.
A standard 1-inch furnace filter, even a high efficiency 1-inch
filter, has one primary function; to keep large objects from
damaging heating and cooling equipment. That means dust, dirt, pet
dander, hair and other substances can build-up on your heating and
cooling equipment and can reduce efficiency by as much as 25%
Not changing your filter or having a dirty AlC coil may cause damage to your furnace and central air. When your furnace is running with a dirty filter or clogged coil, it restricts the air flow across the heat exchanger, so it over-heats and eventually cracks. During the summer a dirty filter or clogged coil can cause the AlC compressor to burn out.
The recently passed American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides a tax credit of30% of the
installed cost of qualifying high-efficiency heating and air
conditioning equipment, up to a maximum of $1 ,500 for 2009 and 2010

and installation, you will be eligible for the full $1,500 tax
credit.
Did you know that your older, less
efficient heating or cooling unit could be costing you money every
month on utility bills?
According to the Environmental
Protection Agency and other experts: "As much as half of the energy
used in your home goes to heating and cooling.
So making smart decisions about your home's heating,
ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big
effect on your utility bills and your comfort."**
Depending on how old your system is a
new high-efficiency system could save you up to 40% of your utility
costs. So, it often makes more sense to replace your system rather
than continue to repair it.
You save even more as utility costs continue to rise!
