THE IMPORTANCE OF CHANGING YOUR HVAC AIR FILTER

Sun, 14 Mar 2021 17:48:49 GMT

HVAC filters! They are marketed using all of the catchy keywords associated with your health and the overall air quality of your home. To really understand the importance of the air filter and the need for regular replacement schedules, you can accurately assume a well-made filter is certainly a step towards not only enhancing the quality of the air inside your home, but also, protecting your HVAC system. Although that is an obvious motive at the point of purchase, the absolute most important function of the air filter is to prevent dust, hair and other airborne elements from entering the inside of the HVAC mechanical system, and to a lesser degree, your duct system. The air filter is put in place at the air return in an effort to prevent as much dust as possible from accumulating on other HVAC parts like the blower motor and blower wheel, which is vital to the systems operation. When you replace your filter, the dust and dander accumulation on the old filter is usually noticeable and you can fully appreciate that the filter was in place to collect the waste that would have otherwise ended up inside your unit, in your duct system and recycled back into the home. Not too appealing to think about, I know! The filters function prevents loss of performance and damage to the HVAC system and adds longevity to the system itself, all because the unit can breathe, so to speak. Without the proper use of air filters, over time, the system can be compromised. These unwanted particles can also ruin the electric heat strips on the HVAC unit because they collect dust in the summer and that dust gives the potential to catch fire when the heat is activated in the winter. The negatives of not using an air filter resonates even more when these unwanted particles (dust, dander, hair) settles and accumulates on the evaporator coil which lowers its operating temperature below what is optimum for its specific design which then has great potential to grow mold and algae, taking years off of the life of the coil. A dirty coil ages much quicker than a clean, breathable coil. A dirty evaporator coil also means your unit will run for longer periods of time in an attempt to cool your home in the summer and heat your home in the winter (if you have a heat pump). The cost of comfort is much higher because the unit is having to operate longer to achieve the desired temperature set on your thermostat.

When considering the headache, expenses and costs of calling out an HVAC company for repairs, high electric bills and the eventual replacement of your HVAC system, the idea of replacing your air system filter (preferably once a month), doesn't seem too daunting of a task. Changing your HVAC system filter should be a priority for the overall air quality of your home and more importantly, to protect the integrity of your HVAC system.

SIX GREAT TIPS FOR AN EXCELLENT BLOG

Tue, 11 Aug 2015 17:55:06 GMT

Many website owners have learned that keeping content fresh keeps visitors returning, a Blog therefore is one of our greatest marketing assets. Giving your visitors good content every day or every week can be very difficult, the tips below will help you write content and say the right sort of things.

Some sound advice on successful blogging

Tips for maintaining a great blog

When writing consider the Blog’s objective . Perhaps you have started a Blog as a news tool to inform visitors about what is happening in your business industry or hobby field, maybe you use it to drive traffic to a particular page or gain followers on social media. Whatever the use case, stick to it, don’t be tempted to deviate and re-blog articles or topics unrelated to your cause.
Quality content is better than quantity . Providing value will make visitors return, blogging for the sake of blogging won’t provide an interesting read. Make sure you focus on one or a few topics. If your visitors start seeing post topics deviate from the interest that brought them to your site in the first place, they may start going elsewhere.
Consider your audience . Your writing style should appeal to your audience, a business website should be professional and avoid slang, a Blog about new products should avoid using technical jargon that confuses visitors. Before you publish, read over your content and ensure it is relevant to your audience.
Define a posting schedule . Giving your visitors too much to digest and too frequently will overwhelm them. Set yourself a target such as 3-4 posts a month and stick to it, ensure you give yourself enough time between posts to generate quality content next time.
Connect with visitors and other Bloggers . Linking to your Blog on social media, or vice versa, is a great way to connect with your visitors - not only will they provide feedback and discussion, but they will share content they like with their social circles. This along with links to other blogged content that you reference will also help with SEO.
Make content easy to read . Break paragraphs up in to manageable chunks, consider breaking lists of information into bullet points, create sub-headings for longer posts and most importantly read over and spell check before publishing.

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG FEATURE, HERE'S HOW TO USE IT

Tue, 28 Jul 2015 18:00:47 GMT

The word "blog" is short for Web Log. It is basically a series of posts in reverse chronological order posted by a website owner. A Blog can be treated like a diary, a news feed, a place for ‘how-to’ articles or simple thoughts and discussions.

Getting to know the Blog feature

Take the first steps towards writing your own professional blog

It’s likely you will use it to communicate with your website visitors about your website topic. You may wish to tell visitors about your day-to-day life or use your Blog for brand advertising. However you choose to use your Blog, it’s really important to make it stand out.

With over 150 million Blogs online today, visitors returning to a site want new and fresh content and a Blog is the perfect way to bring it to them and will make a great asset to your website. So, take time with your posts, make sure they appeal to your visitors and include unique content.

Within a blog post you can link to websites, other blogs or your own webpages. It is generally considered good form to link to a website or a piece of content on the web, as oppose to copying and pasting it onto your blog - however short quotes are fine.

You have full control over posts and you are able to draft them first before posting. Even when they are published you can easily take them down or edit them, but as a general rule if you’re writing about your business, stay professional. If it’s a personal blog, keep it fun and keep in mind that anyone online can read it!
