The heat of summer will soon be upon us. You need to get AC maintenance now to help your unit face the large burden it will have to fulfill within the coming months. We’ll show you why it is essential below.

1. IT SAVES YOU MONEY

An air conditioning maintenance costs about $100 on average. Here at Air Docs Heating & Cooling’s it only costs $85. However, you can recoup some or all of that cost over the coming months with one act of maintenance. It allows your unit to perform better and with less energy. You know the power bill for your home or business is sure to rise as the heat does. The main reason is associated with the extra use of your air conditioner. If maintenance saves even 10% of that, it can be well worth the money.

2. IT INCREASES LIFESPAN

An air conditioner that works cleaner does not have to work harder. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your unit by years by cleaning out parts that get clogged and put extra strain on the unit. Air conditioners can also form leaks from time to time. These leaks can cause damage to your home, yard, and even the unit itself – especially if left unattended. Good maintenance will catch and prevent all of this.

Will Improving Air Quality Kill Coronavirus?

The type of coronavirus known as COVID-19 has become a serious health concern across the nation as well as here in Vero Beach, Florida. But will the right HVAC measures such as improving air quality kill Coronavirus? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have warned that the virus can be caught through the air. As a result, many people are taking steps to protect themselves and their properties from exposure in any way they can.

AIR QUALITY AND DISEASE

Many people who suffer from allergies and other forms of respiratory disease use advanced air filters and purifiers to improve their properties. These devices work by drawing in air, filtering it, and then releasing the cleaner air back into the system. Many air purifiers come with HEPA ratings or High-efficiency particulate air. They have been found to capture up to 99% of pollutants in the air including pollen, mold, and pet dander. They even come in different sizes to target particular hazards.

AIR PURIFIERS ALSO WORK IN A SIMILAR MANNER TO CLEAN THE AIR. THEY CAN COME IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS AND SIZES FROM PLUGIN UNITS FOR SMALL ROOMS TO WHOLE-HOME SYSTEMS. AIR PURIFIERS COME IN MANY DIFFERENT TYPES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

HEPA Air Purifiers
Carbon Filter Air Purifiers
Ionic Air Purifiers
Air Purifier and Humidifier Combinations
UV Light Air Purifiers
Some indoor plants can even work as air purifiers.

BUT WILL IMPROVING AIR QUALITY KILL CORONAVIRUS IF I USE THE RIGHT AIR FILTER OR AIR PURIFIER?

In short, improving your air quality is unlikely to kill the Coronavirus, especially since we don’t know enough about it. More tests and units need to be performed. Even if such a unit existed, the virus would have to pass through the filter and/or purifier in order to be contained. However, there are units that claim to kill germs and have anti-bacterial properties. For example, this air purifying unit made by Guardian Technology claims to have a UV light that “helps kill airborne viruses such as influenza, staph, rhinovirus” and other volatile organic compounds.
