Trusted HVAC Contractors in Mcdonough, GA

At least twice a year, heat pumps and air conditioners require a professional tune-up. Inspection on furnace systems should include ductwork, pipes, dampers, valves, registers, blowers, fuel lines, the gas meters, oil tank and every part of the actual furnace. Meanwhile, heat pumps and air conditioning unit inspections should also include inspections of the fan, compressor, indoor coils, outdoor coils and refrigerant lines.

Standard furnace filters work well to keep your system and its ductwork clean, but they don't really improve indoor air quality. To do that, you need a media filter. The media filter rests between the main return duct and the blower cabinet and will improve dust and particle removal by seven times that of a standard furnace filter. However, upgrading to a pleated media filter will remove everything from insecticide dust to airborne viruses from the filtered air.

Although modern technology has made significant advances in air filters over the past decade, a fractional amount of dust still finds its way past heating and cooling filters and into your home. As this dust accumulates throughout your home, it creates the perfect environment for the growth of mold, mites and harmful bacteria. To check your ducts for dust build up, pull off several supply and return registers and see how much dust has accumulated in the system. If you choose to clean your system, your best option is to contact us for a professional duct cleaner. Although duct cleaning has little effect on the air quality, it will eliminate a house-wide breeding ground for harmful bacteria and mold in addition to helping your heating and cooling system operate more efficiently. If you are installing a new system, you should consider cleaning the ducts at the same time. New systems are often more powerful than old systems and can stir up dust that is sitting in the existing ductwork.
