It is cold & flu season...are you prepared?
It is a new year, and unfortunately, we are still experiencing a rise in cold and flu cases in Southeast Michigan. As we tend to spend more time indoors during the winter, you are probably wondering what you should do to improve the indoor air quality in your home to help your family stay healthy. The trusted professionals at McQuade Heating Cooling, Plumbing and Refrigeration have some valuable tips to help you do just that.
Check your air filters. Make sure you inspect the filters monthly and replace them as necessary, usually every one to three months, or more frequently if you have allergies, live in a larger home, or have pets or smokers in the home.
Check your setting on your humidifier. Your humidifier increases the moisture in the air throughout your home during the winter. It works to keep the interior of your home comfortable during the dry winter months. For optimal performance, we recommend replacing your humidifier's evaporator pad at the beginning of each heating season, since you only use your humidifier in the fall and winter.
Purify your indoor air with a REME HALO(r) Whole Home In-Duct Air Purifier. Other air purification systems are less effective when it comes to reducing pollutants in the air. Due to its innovative design, the REME HALO significantly reduces bacteria, viruses, odors, and mold spores in the air and on surfaces all around your home.
Schedule your HVAC maintenance. We recommend having an annual maintenance on your system to keep it running at its full potential. If you haven't done so yet this season, please contact McQuade Heating and Cooling to request a furnace or boiler maintenance appointment.
