As Northeast Ohioans move into the hottest days of the year, healthy air that is efficiently cooled to comfortable levels ranks among the highest priorities for homeowners and business owners. Achieving this balance means taking steps to maintain your HVAC system and looking at possibilities for upgrading. The experts at Clayton can help.
Air quality
Whether heating or cooling, healthy air is a key focus for homeowners and business owners. During the summer, air can become heavy and stagnant, so it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of contaminants that can hide in your AC system. At Clayton, we suggest the following:
- Change your AC’s air filter as often as once a month to maximize air quality and get the most from your air conditioner. You might also consider getting the ducts cleaned, especially if you have pets in your home.
- If you missed your spring inspection, schedule one now to ensure your AC is working at its best level of efficiency. Our maintenance service includes checking the thermostat, blower, and coolant level, as well as cleaning the condenser and lubricating all parts.
- Ask our experts about air purification that is attached to your HVAC system. Our whole house air cleaner removes 99% of surface and airborne contaminants.
Energy Efficiency
The ability to both heat and cool effectively while reducing energy consumption is a primary goal in HVAC trends today. At Clayton, our experts offer several ways you can reduce the cost of keeping your home or business cool this summer.
- Invest in a smart thermostat, which takes your control of your HVAC beyond simply programming the temperature in your home. A smart thermostat connects to your Wi-Fi so you can control your system from anywhere, allowing those subtle adjustments that save you money.
- Ask our experts about zoned heating and cooling systems and how ductless Variable Refrigerant Flow technology can help you keep comfortable only the rooms in your home that get the most use. VRF technology is ideal for air conditioning in office buildings.
- Geothermal systems are getting a lot more attention as a consumer favorite for using the Earth’s natural heat energy as a source for both heating and cooling homes and office buildings. Their higher price tag is recouped by most users in less than 10 years because of the dramatic difference in efficiency.
