ARE YOU BREATHING MOLD SPORES?

The water panel inside your humidifier is prone to growing mold over the summer when its not in use. Once you turn in on for the first time, water and air flow through the pad to circulate evaporative humidity throughout your home. Without a fresh water panel, you may notice a musty damp smell that may indicate mold spores. Our Annual HVAC Maintenance Visits Are Designed To Keep You & Your Family Comfortable, Healthy & Safe throughout All Four Seasons.

LATE SUMMER HVAC TIP: Are Your Ducts Like A Ride At Six Flags Fright Fest?

Now that we have dealt with making sure that the area around your HVAC system is free of debris and overgrown vegetation, AND getting that furry grey filter changed, now we can talk about air vents! SO EXCITING! 🤣

Your unit must be able to draw and expel air unobstructed to run at peak efficiency, so anything blocking the air vents in or out of the home will force the AC to work harder than it should and consume much more energy.

BEFORE switching on the unit, do a quick inspection of the air vents.

- Make sure that all of them are open

- Move any furniture blocking vents

- Open any dampers that are closed

- Make sure that there are no long drapes/curtains hanging over the vents

- Vacuum off all your vent covers

- Take a peek inside if possible to clean out any blockages that you can see in the vents themselves to make way for air to flow more freely in your home

- If your concerned that the ducts need to be cleaned or notice an excessive amount of debris behind the vent covers, you may want to schedule a proper duct cleaning

**Our Top Pick For Local Duct Cleaning**

Although we do not do duct cleaning at ICE-HVAC, we highly recommend using a local company in Crystal Lake, IL called Denali Clean Inc. Unlike 90% of the fake duct cleaning companies, Denali Clean has the proper equipment to get the job done right. Give Kyle a call at (815) 788-0200

LATE SUMMER HVAC TIP: Cool Landscaping 🌳

Gardening and landscaping is a fantastic hobby to dive into, but please be careful about what you plant and allow to grow around the outdoor A/C condenser unit. This includes any flowers, bushes, small trees, and even crops planted near or around the system.

🌴 Is the landscaping in your peaceful backyard oasis a bit overgrown? It may be a good time to trim the plants back or relocate them completely.

☑️ Make sure you have the proper clearance from vegetation around your air conditioning system. The fan needs to be able to easily pull unobstructed air passed the clean coil fins to properly remove heat from the refrigerant and cool your home.

🌷 Nothing but ground cover vegetation under 6" tall should be growing within 2FT on any side of the air conditioning condenser.

🌿 Check above your A/C condenser for any low hanging branches that need to be trimmed. Ideally you want nothing above the unit but we recommend at least 10FT of clearance so the hot air doesn't get pulled back into the unit from the fan.

🌸 HAPPY GARDENING 🌻

LATE SUMMER HVAC TIP:

Your HVAC system's air filter works by trapping dust, pollen, and other allergens lurking inside your home. However, that means that if the air filter is dirty, then your AC will not function as efficiently as it should!

A good rule of thumb is to check your system's air filter once a month during the spring & summer (maybe at the same time you check for debris on and around the outdoor condenser unit itself - HINT HINT 🤣).

If your system uses a disposable filter, then you can simply replace the old with the new. If the filter is reusable, then just wash the filter, shake out the excess water, and allow it to air dry completely before putting it back into place. Putting a wet reusable filter back into the system provides an ideal environment for mold and bacteria growth
which is NOT very ideal...

HOMEOWNER TIPS:

Maintaining a safe and healthy home is now more important then ever. This includes keeping your home & the air in your home free from unwanted contaminates that could lead to asthma, allergies, respiratory diseases and other various health conditions.

1) Replace your air filter on a regular basis.
- Upgrade to MERV13 or MERV 16 Carbon Filter if you have a 4"-5" Media Air Filter Housing.
- Otherwise MERV8 Filters are the most restrictive you should use with a 1" wide filter.

2) Open your windows for a little bit each day to allow the house to draw in fresh air and ventilate the stale air back outside.

3) Keep the Humidity in your home above 40%RH to decrease the spread of viruses.

4) Keep your home clean and clutter free to allow proper air flow & filtration.
