What Size HVAC System Do I Need?

A properly sized HVAC system is essential to enjoy optimal comfort while keeping energy costs low. An undersized system may struggle to deliver whole-home comfort, while an oversized system can lead to frequent cycling and energy waste.

Our experts perform Manual J calculations, which are the industry standard for professional HVAC sizing. We can evaluate your home’s square footage, layout, insulation, windows, and usage to recommend a suitable option for your household.

How Can I Reduce Pollen Levels in My Home?

Our region is home to many trees, grasses, and flowering plants, making pollen and seasonal allergens a common concern for local homeowners. Below are some steps you can take to reduce pollen levels in your home:

• Upgrade HVAC filters. We can install high-efficiency HEPA or MERV 13+ filters to capture pollen before it circulates.
• Schedule regular HVAC maintenance. We provide ongoing preventive care and filter replacements to minimize pollen buildup.
• Add UV-C lights. We install ultraviolet air cleaners to neutralize pollen, mold spores, and bacteria before they reenter indoor air.
• Install a whole-home air purifier. We can integrate advanced filtration or UV-based air purifiers into your ductwork to remove pollen particles. 
• Maintain proper humidity levels. We can recommend moisture control solutions to maintain ideal humidity levels and reduce pollen circulation. 
• Clean and maintain ductwork. We thoroughly clean ducts, vents, and coils to remove trapped pollen and dust.

Our IAQ pros provide targeted filtration, ventilation, and humidity control solutions to help you maintain a healthy and comfortable living environment. Reach out today to learn how we can help you breathe fresher, cleaner air.   

What Are Common Plumbing Problems in Older Homes?

From Buena Vista Heights to the Boulevard Historic District, our region is home to beautiful historic areas. While historic homes are cherished for their unique charm and architecture, they are also more vulnerable to plumbing problems due to aging infrastructure, outdated pipes, and decades of wear. 

Some common plumbing issues in older homes include:

Corroded Pipes

Many older properties still have outdated piping materials like lead or galvanized steel, increasing the risk of systemic failures and health hazards. We can inspect your current pipes and repipe your home with safer, more durable materials if needed.

Sewer Line Failures

Old clay or cast-iron pipes can lead to sewer line failures, unsanitary backups, and soggy patches in lawns. We use minimally invasive methods like sewer camera inspections to visualize affected areas and provide targeted repairs or replacement. 

Outdated or Failing Pipe Joints and Fittings

Plumbing connections in older homes can loosen, crack, and degrade over time, leading to hidden water damage beneath floors, ceilings, and walls. We can replace worn fittings and reinforce your system to prevent more serious damage.
