Good ventilation is very important in any home, helping to ensure that indoor air remains healthy and comfortable for your home’s occupants by working to prevent the buildup of pollutants, odors and humidity inside the home. While good airflow is important throughout your home, there are specific areas that need the most ventilation.
Your air filter performs two very important roles in your home HVAC system: it protects the internal workings of your furnace and air conditioner from dust, dander, mold spores, and other debris which could build up and impair operation, and it boosts your indoor air quality by removing those particulates from your air supply. But with all the air filters on the market, which do you choose?

One of the most common A/C problems is neglecting maintenance. Some homeowners think skipping one year of maintenance will not matter; besides, the air conditioning feels cool enough for your family.

Regular maintenance by a homeowner or a professional will catch these common A/C issues before they become expensive problems.
The air in your home is an environmental hazard, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
