Keeping gas furnaces in good working order may feel difficult, but we make it easy with our routine service for furnaces.

Keeping your central air conditioner running without problems might seem overwhelming. We make it easy with our seasonal service.

Our experts will complete a list of jobs during AC service, like:

Checking and Cleaning Internal Parts

We’ll take a look at essential components, like the fan, evaporator coil and refrigerant measurements, to verify your air conditioner is running correctly.

Oiling Moving Pieces

Keeping moving pieces oiled helps save energy and decreases grinding. Parts that aren’t routinely greased may need to be repaired or installed more regularly.

Cleaning Condensate Drain Line

This line aids your system in flushing excess water that occurs during the cooling process. Mold can lead to blockages and cracks if the drain isn’t regularly maintained by a technician.

Checking Overall Equipment Performance

We’ll examine electrical contacts to ensure your equipment is offering trusty, efficient air conditioning. We’ll also make sure your thermostat is set properly and exchange your air filter for ideal indoor air quality.

Reducing indoor air quality issues can be fairly uncomplicated with these 10 tips:

  1. Arrange an indoor air quality audit with Air Rite Mechanical Systems Inc. Professionals can take a look at rooms that impact air quality, such as humidity, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Then we’ll chat about any issues we find and how you can make them better.
  2. Clean often to regulate dust mites, which can intensify allergies and asthma.
  3. Rid your home of secondhand smoke.
  4. Use a whole-home filtration system to reduce odors, versus hiding them with air fresheners or scented candles. These pollutants contain substances that can lead to or irritate respiratory disorders.
  5. Vent gas-burning appliances, such as ovens and water heaters, to the outside.
  6. Keep your house’s humidity levels appropriate with a humidifier or dehumidifier, based on your needs. Set humidity under 50% to impede mold and mildew growth.
  7. Inspect your house for radon. Continual exposure to this colorless, radioactive gas is the number one cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers, the EPA says. You can shop for a radon test kit online or get in touch with your state radon program for details on discounted or free kits.
  8. Use a ventilation system to swap polluted indoor air with healthier outside air.
  9. Choose green cleaning and painting supplies that are reduced or free of VOCs. Heightened concentrations of VOCs can increase troubles for individuals with respiratory illnesses.
  10. Put in carbon monoxide sensors near bedrooms.

You might have excess moisture in your space if you have any of the subsequent problems:

  1. Regularly damp areas in your home
  2. Musty smells
  3. Peeling or cracking paint
  4. Condensation spots on your ceiling
  5. Humid or sweaty sense in the air
  6. Cold spots or condensation on the windows
  7. Cracking wallpaper
  8. Adjusting your thermostat or turning on air conditioning more than usual to feel more comfortable
