This Thanksgiving, Give Thanks to the Experts Who Keep Homes Comfortable
Thanksgiving is a time of gathering family and friends and giving thanks. It’s about enjoying the comfort not only of the presence of loved ones but also of one’s home. Without the work of heating and cooling companies, these gatherings would not be possible. Making a home welcoming and comfortable is only partially related to decoration and the abundance of food. Temperature and air quality are critical. Homeowners should be thankful for the hard work these technicians do this Thanksgiving.
Keeping the Heat On During Colder Months
While people know that technicians are involved in heater installation, repair, and maintenance, they may not know the full extent to which heating matters in a home or office. No one likes being cold, but there are several things that the cold can do that will be mitigated by a working heater. Here are some problems a fully functioning heater can help prevent:
- Illness: If the body is cold, its ability to fight off bacteria and viruses is reduced. People are more likely to get sick if they do not have a place to warm up.
- Health Concerns: People who already have chronic issues can also be affected by the cold, and symptoms worsen. They may need a specific temperature to function at a normal level.
- Frozen Pipes: Water freezing in the pipes and issues resulting from that, like burst pipes, are less likely when the heating works.
- Structural Issues: Ice can cause damage by freezing in weak spots and opening cracks up further. This can occur within the house's structure, and cold can also dry out wooden furniture, causing it to become more brittle.
Keeping the Air Conditioning On During Warmer Months
Technicians also perform the essential services of air conditioner installation, repair, and maintenance. Just as health problems can result from being too cold in the winter, they can also result from being too hot in the summer and warmer months. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious conditions that can affect the rest of a person’s life. Overheating can even result in the loss of life.
This area of the country is practically infamous for its humidity, which is reduced by air conditioning and can help those with chronic respiratory issues. This allows people with asthma and allergies to experience better health and fewer symptoms. Reducing the temperature and moisture also inhibits mold and mildew growth, which improves residents' health.
Improving Quality of Life Through Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is sometimes worse than the outside air. IAQ (or indoor air quality) is another reason to be thankful for HVAC technicians. Even if no one in the household has respiratory problems, they can still be affected by VOCs (volatile organic compounds), mold, mildew, and dust. HVAC technicians can help improve indoor air quality by performing maintenance and installing one or more devices to protect against indoor air pollution. Such devices include the following:
- UV air sanitizers
- Air purifiers
- Dehumidifiers
