We spend a lot of time, energy, and money keeping our houses clean. We buy the latest vacuum cleaners, take the trash out every other day, and never allow a smoking cigarette to walk through the door. We spend all this time and effort because we believe that our homes are our temples. Nobody wants to trash strewn all over their floor or rotten food in their kitchens. People take care to keep their homes clean because that is where they raise their families and spend their time. It makes sense.

So why do so many people forget to spend the same efforts on the air quality in their home? The air in our home is what we breathe every moment we are inside of it. If our air is polluted, we are bringing polluted air into our lungs and our bodies. Yet maintaining good air quality can be surprisingly simple. Here are ten tips to improve air quality in your home.

1. Ban all smoking. Smoking is bad for your health and doing it indoors is bad for the air quality. The carcinogens in cigarettes linger long after the smell is gone. Don't smoke in the house and don't let your guests smoke in the house either.

A heat pump is a great option for heating and cooling the home, especially in warmer climates and when installed properly using a proper service provider, one can make it look trendy as well. A heat pump uses hot air to provide a home with both cool and warm air, depending on the season. This type of unit is very efficient and will save you money as well as headache. This option is also cheaper in cost than other types of units. There are five factors to consider when estimating cost of a new heat pump and we will list these factors below.

EFFICIENCY

Keeping your house warm can be done by paying low or high price for a heating and cooling unit. Efficiency is a big factor when it comes to pricing. The price of a new heat pump will increase as the efficiency rating goes up. However, the overall savings is well worth the additional cost. More efficiency means lower electricity bills year round.

Although a split system air conditioner can be very convenient, it’s helpful to know how to diagnose problems when they occur. In this article, we’ll attempt to cover a few of the most common problems that you might encounter and let you know how to cope with them.

Reduced Airflow

If you notice that your split system air-conditioner seems to be operating with a very low airflow, first check to make sure that the unit has not been switched into a very quiet operation mode. For example, some models have automatic modes that may operate with very little air flow normally if the unit senses that a higher-speed operation is not necessary.
