Keep Your Indoor Air Healthy And Fresh

With the July heat mounting, you may find yourself spending more time inside. Groundbreaking advances in building science have lead to improvements in the energy efficiency of your central air conditioner; however, these advances have also lead to tight homes that trap unwanted contaminants in the living area. These contaminants cause poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and can lead to respiratory ailments. Detecting and correcting significant indoor air quality issues can be difficult. At Lee’s TemperaturePro, our team of professional technicians are trained and experienced in improving your indoor air quality through the use of air purifiers, ventilators, and air humidifiers.

Air Purifiers

Air purifiers play a critical role in making sure that your home is free of contaminants. The wrong filters trap harmful particles in the HVAC system, which leads to poor air quality. At Lee’s TemperaturePro, we recommend purifiers based on the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. Calculating size and the quality of contaminants trapped in the filter, air purifiers with a value of at least 7 are recommended by our HVAC contractors.

Ventilators

As devices designed to deliver the exact amount of fresh air required to keep the indoor environment healthy and safe, mechanical ventilators are important in ensuring a healthy IAQ. Mechanical ventilation helps to introduce fresh air into the home while pushing the stale air back outside.

Dehumidifiers

When humidity levels in the home rise, the moisture that builds up can cause mold to grow in your home. As mold grows, the spores become an aggravator for allergies and asthma issues. Healthcare professionals recommend keeping indoor humidity between 40% and 50%. For homes whose humidity level exceeds 50%, our HVAC contractors recommend installing central dehumidifiers. Dehumidifiers work with your HVAC unit to ensure that the living area in your home stays comfortably at the right humidity level.

3 Things to Consider When Purchasing an AC Unit

When your air conditioning unit dies, it is extremely inconvenient – especially during a Louisiana summer. At Lee’s TemperaturePro, we want to ensure that, when you’re buying a new AC unit,  you get the best AC unit for your home. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the 3 things you need to consider when buying a new home air conditioner:

1. Reliability

With these warm Louisiana summers, you need to be assured that your AC unit will run smoothly for an extended period of time. No matter how hot it gets, you want to install an air conditioning unit that keeps your house cool and comfortable.

2. Efficiency

In the air conditioning industry, we define efficiency as the amount of cooling your AC delivers per watt of electricity. When you’re looking for an AC unit, you want to consider the efficiency of the unit. You can do this by considering the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, or SEER rating, of the unit. Remember, the lowest SEER rating allowed today is 14, so you want to look for units rated 15+. The higher the rating, the less you’ll have to pay for your energy costs.

3. Maintainability

Once you’ve found your central air conditioning unit, you’ll want to find a heating and cooling company that can provide regular maintenance services. Because central AC units have to run so much to keep up with the Lafayette, LA summers, getting your unit regular maintenance checks will ensure that your home air conditioning unit continues to run reliably and efficiently. At Lee’s TemperaturePro, we offer a Heating and Air Conditioning Maintenance Plan in which our HVAC contractors will complete preventative maintenance checks that catch hidden problems before they cause a system breakdown.
