National Public Health Week, April 2-8, 2018, encourages Americans to pay more attention to how we treat our health and well being. Let’s explore some opportunities to improve our health within our homes. Change or clean your air filter. Service your heating and cooling system. Install a Media Air Cleaner or have your ductwork cleaned and sealed. Once your home’s HVAC health is improved, yours will be as well.
Change Your Air Filter
Air filters are your frontline when it comes to trapping
allergens and debris from circulating throughout your
home. It’s imperative to change, or clean, depending on
your model, your air filter around once a month. Check
with your unit’s manufacturer or ask your Energy Savers
technician for specific instructions.
A clogged filter is less effective, of course, and
increases the wear and tear on your heating and cooling
system. This results in higher energy bills and a
shortened lifespan of your unit. Some homeowners find
the arrival of the utility bill a helpful reminder to
change the filter. Be advised, if you live in an area
with excessive pollen or have pets, you should change
the filter more often.
Service Your Heating and Cooling System
No one likes the idea of a budget-busting bill and no
one wants to be uncomfortable. One of the easiest ways
to prevent both is to participate in one of Energy
Saver’s Priority Service Plan options. We offer three
different levels with multiple benefits. All include a
preventative maintenance service for your heating and of
your cooling system.
The Precision Service and Safety Checks of each system
include a long list of activities including cleaning,
inspecting and lubricating any relevant parts.
Participants are also eligible for discounts and for
after-hours emergency service calls should the need
arise.
Servicing your heating and cooling system ensures your
system is running at its optimal efficiency, reducing
your energy bills and catching any minor issues before
escalating into expensive breakdowns. That’s a tip for
your financial health as well!
Install a Media Air Cleaner; Have Your Ductwork Cleaned & Sealed
At Energy Savers, we carry the full line of Carrier
products including a variety of air purifiers and UV air
purifiers. These are incredible at dramatically
improving your indoor air quality. If you or a loved one
has allergies or ongoing respiratory issues, these
products can make a huge difference. Airborne illnesses,
mold and mildew spores and other pollutants are reduced
and eliminated.
Leaking ducts allow 15 to 30% of air passing through
them to escape, wasting energy, increasing energy bills
and allowing pollutant emissions. Your HVAC will have to
work harder to keep you comfortable.
Over time air ducts can become dirty and clogged,
especially if your home is new construction or you’ve
recently completed a renovation. A dirty ductwork system
also encourages mold growth, pushing millions of
unwanted particles into your air.
Energy Savers can access the most concealed ducts, clean
and seal them, and improve your indoor air quality as
well as your energy bills.

heating and cooling system, as well as comfortable in
