AIR FILTER
Properly filtered air is better for your health and the health of your A/C unit. If you are having difficulty finding the right size filter for your air conditioning system, you may want to consider the one time purchase of a filter holding frame, along with polyester filter media that can be cut to size. The polyester media makes an excellent filter choice and provides superior air quality to the fiberglass/cardboard type filter commonly sold in most retail stores. This inexpensive filtering method (average frame cost approximately $35.00) is recommended, not only for hard to find filters but standard filters as well.

Another excellent option for improving indoor air quality would be the use of a pleated filter (1" to 5" thick). The one inch (1") filter can easily be used in an existing return air grille. Upgrading to an even thicker pleated filter has its advantages but will require the installation of a special frame to accommodate the larger sized filter.

VENTILATION
Air quality can suffer if an interior space does not receive enough outside air, especially if cooking or other processes that produce fumes, particles, moisture, or steam occur in the space. If this situation exists in your home or workplace, or if you have a kitchen or bathroom that does NOT have a ventilation fan that vents to the outdoors, we can help by installing a ventilation fan and the necessary duct work.

UV UNIT
A product now available in residential applications is the Ultraviolet (UV) Air Purifier, mounted directly in the existing system. The UV unit then controls the growth of mold and mildew at the source, primarily the interior components of the air handling unit. Since no chemicals are used in the process, the UV Air Purifying system offers an environmentally safe way to improve indoor air quality.

After the unit is mounted in the existing air conditioning system and powered by 110V household electrical current, air passes by the purifying unit. The UV light emitted destroys living contaminants. The UV Air Purifier requires very little maintenance and is inexpensive to operate.

CAUTION: If you have an existing UV unit, do not attempt to service it or replace burned out UV light bulbs yourself! Professional A/C technicians are trained in servicing these units while avoiding the potential eye damage from UV rays.
