<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wondering Where the AC Leak is Coming From?</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">As great as summer is, it comes with weather that can become unbearable. Air conditioning is a beloved solution to the problem of long hot days and sticky nights. Excellent air conditioning cools you, easing away stress and making sleep more comfortable. Summertime means that AC systems will be working overtime, which can lead to considerable wear and tear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">One of the most common issues that arise is the build-up of leaking water. We find customers frequently inquiring why this would be. Here are some of the reasons for leaking air conditioner units and how you could fix them:</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">Clogged Condensate Drain Line</span></h4>
<br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">The function of an air conditioner is dependent on the condensate drain line. It is the exit for water that has been collected by the evaporator coil when air passes over it. The evaporator coil absorbs vapor from the air and converts it into water, which moves through the drain line to be emptied outside near the AC’s outdoor unit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">When these lines get clogged, this water backs up and leaks into your home. This can range from minor drips to some major spills that lead to damage to walls, floors, and ceilings. If this is the issue, then what you need to do is unclog the drain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">There are several ways to go about this, like using a wet/dry vac on the condensate line. If you do not possess the tools needed, or worry you might worsen the problem, call for professional assistance. Professionals are equipped with specialized vacuums to fix your system.</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">Broken Condensate Pipe</span></h4>
<br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">This happens more frequently when your furnace or AC’s indoor unit is installed in the basement. It translates to a condensate pump, which sends water outside instead of transferring it to other places in the home. If this pump does not undergo regular checks and maintenance, it becomes faulty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">The only solution to this fault is the complete replacement of the pump when the damage is too beyond repair. Seek professional help for an in-depth analysis of the problem and estimates for repair or replacement.</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">Dirty Air Filter</span></h4>
<br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">Air filters allow airflow over the evaporator coil, thereby permitting the collection and disposal of water. When the air filter gets dirty, the evaporator coil is deprived of its efficiency, becomes cold and then freezes. When it thaws, this excess water cannot be helped by the built-in pan and consequently leaks out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: times new roman, serif;">To avoid dirty air filters, check them regularly and clean or change when necessary. During colder months, when the AC isn’t worked too hard, the air filter should be checked every two months. However, during the hotter months in summer, checking every two to four weeks is recommended. </span><br />

<h3>
4 Tips To Help Identify When its Time to Replace Duct Work</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ductwork in your home is largely unseen. You probably rarely ever think about the fact that it is keeping the air flowing to all of the different rooms in your home. Over time you could have issues with your ductwork that could lead to energy loss, unhealthy air quality and increased heating or cooling bills. Even though the ductwork is out of sight there are issues that you can look for to determine if you are having a problem.</div>
<h4>
Age of ductwork</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the majority of cases of the ductwork was installed when the home was built. This original ductwork is typically done at a builder’s grade quality and likely not intended to last a lifetime. There are seals and joints in the ductwork that can deteriorate over time. If your home is 15 years old or more you should consider having the ductwork examined for any problems.</div>
<h4>
Look at the ductwork that you can see</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some of the ductwork is able to be seen from the attic or crawlspaces. Use a flashlight and look at the joints and check for any duct tape that could be fraying or deteriorating in any way. You also need to check for rust or corrosion. If you spot any problems you must call for inspection as you could have moisture issues.</div>
<h4>
Airflow</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you have certain rooms that are experiencing issues in airflow this could indicate a problem with the specific span of ductwork designated for that area. If the ductwork has deteriorating insulation or a leak then it will cause uneven airflow.</div>
<h4>
Duct Blower Test</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best way to determine if you are having <a href="https://www.airexponj.com/duct-cleaning" target="_blank">ductwork issues</a> is to have a duct blower test which is performed by a professional. Your HVAC contractor will use a fan and sensors to determine airflow and the efficiency of your current ductwork. Leaks and inefficiency will be determined via computerized specific results.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ductwork in your home is kind of like the veins in your body bringing airflow all through the rooms. If any part of it is working incorrectly or has a leak you will experience uneven air loss and high electricity bills due to inefficiency. Call the experts at Air Expo today to schedule a <a href="https://www.airexponj.com/maintenance-agreementservice-contract" target="_blank">maintenance</a> check and an air duct blower test to determine the efficiency of your ductwork.<o:p></o:p></div>

<h2>
Ways to reduce the allergens in your home</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For some, allergies can affect us all year long.
Millions of people each year suffer from allergies during the spring and
summer, but continue through the fall and winter months as we are cooped up indoors. Here are some tips to reduce the amount of allergens in your home so
that you and your family will be on their way to easy breathing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First of all allergens enter your home through your HVAC
unit. The ragweed, pollen, grass particles, <a href="https://www.airexponj.com/hvac-tips-pet-owners" target="_blank">pet dander</a> and other allergens get into your
home and settle on all of your items. This makes it much more difficult to
breathe comfortably in your own home. The key to minimize your suffering is
proper HVAC maintenance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Filters</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The air filter you choose is the first step to breathing
easy in your home. Choose a filter that has an MERV rating of eight or higher
to maximize the collection of the harmful particles and reduce your indoor
allergens. During high allergy season you should check your filters every month
and replace them as often as necessary.
Dirty filters not only increase the allergens and particles in your home
but reduce airflow and cause your HVAC system to run inefficiently. <o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Dust and debris</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make sure your outdoor unit is not blocked by allergy
producing debris such as leaves, plants or brush. Also check indoors. You should vacuum and
dust away the area around the indoor unit to prevent the allergens from
continuing to cycle through your home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Mold</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mold is a common allergen.
It is unhealthy to breathe and it can cause allergies. Mold is not only bad for allergy sufferers
but it can make anyone sick. Make sure your condensate is not overflowing and
that your air ducts don't have any mold. When it starts to get humid out, you
should regularly check for mold around your inside and outside HVAC components.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Dust</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many people are allergic to dust which is present every day
of the year. The best way to tackle dust is to clean all of the registers and
return vents and then all of the surfaces in your home. It's best to use a damp
cloth's because it will trap the dust rather than pushing it around. Don’t let dust build up, clean your home
regularly if you want to lessen allergens.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you suffer from severe allergies any time during the year, you need to start with taking care of your HVAC system. Follow these
tips and you will be breathing easy this year.
For all of your HVAC needs call the experts at Air Expo NJ. <o:p></o:p></div>

Quick Tips on the Types of HVAC Air Filters</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hopefully you know
enough about your home furnace and HVAC system to know that you need to regularly
change the air filters. When you head to the store to purchase a filter you're
faced with a large wall of a variety options. In order to pick the best one for
your needs here is an overview of the different types of filters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
What is the filter rating system?</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the first things you will see on the filter is a
rating system. Different companies have different rating and number systems.
The numbers typically tell you the amount of particles and pollutants that can
be captured in the filter. The higher the number the larger the amount of
particles the particular filter will collect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV)</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The MERV rating has been established by the American Society
of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning engineers. It rates the filter’s
ability to capture and hold particles and pollutants. For residential filters
the numbers range from 1 to 12. With the higher number referring to the higher amount
of particles collected.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR)</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This system has been developed by the 3M Company and is
solely used in 3M products. The amount of microparticles that the filter
captures is what determines the rating. The numbers range from 300 to 2800 with
the higher number meaning more particles captured.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This system utilizes
the color code and a number scale ranging from 4 to 10 which is similar to the
MERV rating. The FPR system has been developed and is only used by The Home Depot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What are the three basic types of filters available?<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Washable air filter</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At first the washable filter may seem like a budget friendly
and environmentally friendly option, however they are not highly recommended.
Washable filters have very low ratings and do not trap as many particles as
they're disposable counterparts. They require regular maintenance via washing
and must be thoroughly dried prior to reusing so as not to spread mold into
your home. Washable filters are not recommended for homes that have anybody
with allergies in them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Fiberglass air filter</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fiberglass filters are the least expensive option. They do
have the ability to track a larger air particles however do not capture smaller
allergens and pollutants very well. The MERV rating is typically only between
one and four. If you have a fiberglass air filter the <a href="https://www.airexponj.com/indoor-air-quality" target="_blank">air quality</a> in your home
will not be improved. They also tend to need replacement more often.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h3>
Polyester and pleated air filters</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are the most commonly use filters and the most
recommended. There are MERV rating is from 8 to 13 which is much higher than
washable and fiberglass filters. Polyester and pleated filters are highly effective
in trapping and holding a variety of particles pollutants and allergens from
your home. These types of filters are available in most stores and come in a
variety of options that can help even the most severe allergy sufferer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Keep this guide in mind the next time you head to the store
for a filter replacement. Purchasing the proper filter for you and your family
will make all the difference in the air-quality in your home. If you have any
questions about air-quality or filters for your specific HVAC system call the
experts at Air Expo for all of your maintenance needs.<o:p></o:p></div>

tape that could be fraying or deteriorating in any way. You also need to check
for rust or corrosion. If you spot any problems you must call for inspection as
you could have moisture issues.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Airflow</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you have certain rooms that are experiencing issues in
airflow this could indicate a problem with the specific span of ductwork
designated for that area. If the ductwork has deteriorating insulation or a
leak then it will cause uneven airflow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Duct blower test</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best way to determine if you are having duct work issues
is to have a duct blower test which is performed by a professional. Your HVAC
contractor will use a fan and sensors to determine airflow and the efficiency of
your current ductwork. Leaks and inefficiency will be determined via
computerized specific results.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ductwork in your home is kind of like the veins in your
body bringing airflow all through the rooms. If any part of it is working
incorrectly or has a leak you will experience uneven air loss and high
electricity bills due to inefficiency. Call the experts at Air Expo today to
schedule a maintenance check and an air duct blower test to determine the
efficiency of your ductwork.</div>

<h2>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Is your AC broken? or Can you DIY?</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Temperature feels a little warm inside, and you begin to panic- you immediately think your <a href="https://www.airexponj.com/air-conditioning" target="_blank">HVAC </a>is broken. When your AC stops working you may impulsively rush to the phone to call for ac repair. In the hot summer weather we don't want to be without our central AC for too long. However there are a few things that you should check that you may be able to fix yourself before you call for service. Check these things before you call for service:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Condenser</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your condenser is most likely outside. This area could
become blocked and this would restrict airflow to your unit. You could also
have a malfunction if the condenser is very dirty. You need to carefully remove
any obstacles or hose off the unit to wash the dirt away to clean the
condenser.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Filter</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A clean filter is vital to your AC functioning properly. If
you haven't changed it in a while then you will likely have limited airflow. If
your filter is full of dust and debris you should change it and your AC could be
back to normal in no time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Breaker</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Locate your breaker
box and see if the breaker has been tripped and for some reason. If the breaker
has shut off then simply switch the flip back on and you should be good to go.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Thermostat</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your thermostat controls the temperature in your home. Check
to make sure that the temperature isn't turned too high causing the AC not to
turn on. Try lowering the temperature a few degrees. Also your thermostat could
require a battery change.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before you call for service on your AC you should check the
above for items first. If you are still having issues then call the experts at
Air Expo for quality ac repair. We service Northern Jersey 24/7 for residential and commercial AC repair.<o:p></o:p></div>

<h2>
Why are locking refrigerant caps important?</h2>
<div>
As a homeowner you take safety precautions daily. You don't run your dryer while you're away from the house, do have fire alarms and Carbon monoxide detectors and you keep your doors locked at night. However there is another issue that you should pay attention to. Your HVAC unit could be a potential health hazard. Did you know that the refrigerant or coolant material in your unit could be siphoned out by those wanting to partake in “huffing” of this harmful chemical? There is only one way to prevent your unit from being abused and that is by having locking refrigerant caps installed.</div>
<h4>
What is refrigerant?</h4>
<div>
Refrigerant is it harmful substance that can cause death without warning if ingested. It is considered a poison and only licensed individuals are legally authorized to handle it. Unfortunately it is getting into the wrong hands and children and adults alike are huffing this harmful gas as a quick drug fix.</div>
<h4>
How can I prevent theft of my refrigerant?</h4>
<div>
The simplest and cheapest way to prevent your refrigerant from being stolen and to potentially cause harm or even death, is to install locking refrigerant caps. These caps are placed over the ports to the refrigerant on your exterior <a href="https://www.airexponj.com/about" target="_blank">HVAC</a> unit and can only be accessed with special equipment, making it difficult for anyone else to gain access. In 2009 it has become a law in many areas to have refrigerant caps and no home will pass inspection without them. </div>
<div>
Go outside right now and check your unit to see if there are brightly colored red, green or silver caps on the refrigerant valves. If your unit is without these locking caps, call Air Expo today to have them installed immediately. You will be doing yourself a huge favor as well as keeping refrigerant out of the wrong hands. </div>

Tips for Winter HVAC Maintenance</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Temperatures have begun to drop and air pollutants increase. It is also the
perfect time to begin your HVAC maintenance for the frigid winter
weather months to follow. <o:p></o:p></div>

</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is important to do some seasonal cleaning, and schedule a
maintenance visit to tweak your system for maximum output. Cleaning your
air conditioner's outside unit is one of the necessary tasks to maintain your
HVAC system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Follow these five easy steps:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Open the metal box near your outside unit, and
turn the switch to the off position<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Use a water hose to spray off any loose debris<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4 style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
Spray the unit with coil cleaner</h4>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "symbol"; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Wait 15 minutes to let the cleaner foam and bond
with the dirt on the coils<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4 style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Rinse the coil cleaner off with the hose</span></h4>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dirty coils and blower parts can negatively affect your
indoor air quality. If this HVAC maintenance is not done, bacteria,
fungi, and pollen can build up in your system. Breathing those things in
can lead to eye, nose, and throat irritation, asthma attacks, or even flu-like
symptoms. Regular HVAC maintenance will reduce any contamination of your
air stream, which ensures a healthier household.<br />
<h4>
Replace the Filter</h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Change your filter every season to clear your home's HVAC
and ductwork. A clean filter can increase productivity by 15%, which will
save you money and require less HVAC maintenance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Consider an Upgrade<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fall is the perfect time to upgrade your HVAC unit, because
the temperature is usually not too hot or too cold. If your system is
old, now is the time to make the change. You don't want to wait and end
up changing your furnace during the dead of winter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Warm it Up</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another important part of HVAC maintenance involves keeping
your system warm and loose. Just like a car, your HVAC system benefits
from regular use. Run your unit a few weeks before the weather turns cold
and it will be primed for use when the time comes to begin using it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4>
Prepare your Outdoor Unit for the Cold</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HVAC maintenance includes making sure your outside unit does
not freeze over. The best way to prevent this from happening is to clear
the airflow, change your refrigerant, and keep it warm. When the outside
temperature drops below 60 degrees, cover the unit with a thick blanket. If you haven't already, it is time to purchase a blanket that will protect your unit from
ice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Regular HVAC maintenance can actually reduce the potential
for costly repairs by as much as 95%. While you may not be able to avoid
all HVAC repairs, this preventive care can save a lot of money and
inconvenience down the road by preventing most unexpected heating or
cooling emergencies from taking place. Call the <a href="http://airexponj.com/" target="_blank">Bloomingdale NJ AC Experts</a> at Air Expo

<span style="color: #45818e;">Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)</span></h2>
You may think of air pollution as something that occurs outside rather than inside your home – vehicular exhaust, garbage sites, smog or industrial fumes. However, the truth is that your home can be more polluted than the air outside. You may have poor <a href="http://www.airexponj.com/indoor-air-quality" target="_blank">indoor air quality (IAQ)</a> in your home and not even realize it. If you have poor IAQ, you and members of your family could be suffering from health problems. Here are five ways you can improve your home’s IAQ. <br />
<h3>
Change filters</h3>
A simple and cheap way to increase IAQ is to change the air filter. Old, dirty air filters allow lots of allergens and dirt which can cause a wide range of problems including colds, headaches, and breathing problems into your home. Aside from causing negative effects on your body, dirty filters may cause the air conditioner greatly effect the efficiency of the unit. Be sure to regularly change your filter, it’s a simple and economical way to keep your family breathing clean air.<br />
<h3>
Controlling humidity levels</h3>
Indoor humidity levels must be maintained between 45% and 55%. One way to achieve these levels is to purchase a dehumidifier. You can’t manage something you can’t measure. A humidifier will reduce the amount of humidity in your air and lead to better breathing. Having a dehumidifier in especially damp areas such as the basement is an inexpensive way of improving IAQ.<br />
Proper ventilation<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJngAYZ2GwYo4a79jSA9im2mnBaUnxBr_t1_BMDwDqkqhf-mXPkrEnHpWhI2w2nnFBTaWenh4AglOyJyHsMlM_aDH7Gsu2ywxEqNEGmnSJZJSQSjxLZSkyGI5Nnun1_vXUQk3sDd-e22k/s1600/indoor-air-quality-iaq.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJngAYZ2GwYo4a79jSA9im2mnBaUnxBr_t1_BMDwDqkqhf-mXPkrEnHpWhI2w2nnFBTaWenh4AglOyJyHsMlM_aDH7Gsu2ywxEqNEGmnSJZJSQSjxLZSkyGI5Nnun1_vXUQk3sDd-e22k/s320/indoor-air-quality-iaq.jpg" width="320" /></a>Proper ventilation is essential in reducing cooking odors, smoke, indoor pollutants, and moisture. Adequate ventilation in the basement, attic, and crawl space is necessary to improve indoor air quality and keep moisture from plaguing your home. Be sure your return vents are fee of dust build up and are not blocked by furniture. In the bathroom, laundry area and the kitchen install exhaust vent fans. <br />
<h3>
Avoid smoking inside the home</h3>
Smoke from cigarettes contains over 4000 different chemicals at high concentration, most of which are toxic. Second-hand cigarette smoke has similar effects to smoking. The best option is to stop smoking completely. Since quitting can be difficult, it would help to smoke outside. If you have friends who smoke, simply ask them to step outside if you truly care about indoor air quality at your home.<br />
<h3>
Photocatalytic air purifiers</h3>
Photocatalytic air purifiers use a method known as photocatalysis to zap all the harmful air pollutants and transform them to safe substances. This light powered purifier is effective for all types of people including those with asthma and allergies. Photocatalytic air purifiers work effectively to improve your home’s IAQ. Your professional <a href="http://www.airexponj.com/indoor-air-quality" target="_blank">HVAC contractor</a> can help you with the proper unit, placement and installation of a photocatalytic air purifier. <br />
<br />
IAQ is important to the health of you and your family. When you implement the methods mentioned above your home’s IAQ will increase leading to a healthier home. Contact the professionals at Air Expo NJ today to help you asses and improve your home’s indoor air quality. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A ductless air conditioner, also
referred to as <b>mini-split or a ductless split system</b>, is
made up of two pieces: the compressor unit which is installed outside the home
on a concrete slab and an indoor unit which contains a fan. The fan is
installed near the ceiling on an exterior wall in the area you want cooled.
While you may have heard of ductless air conditioners, you may not know the
benefits of installing one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

air is forced through all of your ducts. With a ductless system, the
cooled air is delivered directly to the areas you want cooled. They are
easy to install, and can be placed in new additions to your home, in apartments
or condos to replace a window unit, or to improve the temperature in
specific rooms of your home (such as ones that receive a great deal of
sunlight and are always hot).<o:p></o:p></span></li>

to a ductless air condition is the savings. As the heat increases outside,
you need your AC more and more; energy bills keep going up. Traditional
central air is inefficient; a ductless system uses less energy to run and
they deliver the cool air directly to the room you want cooled, so they
are much more efficient. You no longer have to cool unoccupied rooms.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

air in your home. You’ll breathe better, and easier. A traditional central
air system leaves dust and allergens in the air; with a ductless system,
you get multi-stage filtration. This reduces allergens, dust and other
particles in the air.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

compared to a traditional central air system. Depending upon the number of
units you need, you can be up and running in a day, compared to weeks with
a traditional HVAC unit. Ductless systems run on pipes that just need a
three-inch hole. You won’t have to tear down and rebuild walls around any
ducts or lose any square footage in your home.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Smaller carbon footprint: Because the ductless system
is so energy efficient, you are lowering your carbon footprint, which is
great for the planet. These systems also reduce the negative effects on
the environment because they use R410A to cool your home; this refrigerant
causes ‘zero ozone depletion’, which means it has less of an impact on the
environment than traditional systems do.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ductless air conditions offer you a
number of benefits, from saving you money on your electric bill to reducing
your carbon footprint. Stay comfortable by cooling just the zones you want,
rather than your entire house. Consider installing a ductless system today!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What are the Warning Signs That Your Furnace Needs Repair?</h2>

<h3>
7 Signs Explained:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
When it comes to home repairs, we tend to focus on the
obvious: broken doors or windows, chipped paint, appliances that stop working. But how do we know when there is a problem
with more discrete equipment such as the furnace? HVAC problems can cause a variety of issues
in the home and could go undetected unless you know what to look for. Here is a list of warning signs to be on the
lookout for that indicate your <a href="http://www.airexponj.com/oil-gas-conversion">furnace </a>needs professional repair. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Leaks</span></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Depending on where your unit is located, a leak may not be
as obvious as you would like. If you
notice water or other liquid leaking from your unit, you should call for repair
ASAP. Whereas some condensation is
normal in the summer months, pooling or dripping water or other liquid is
not. Don’t try to diagnose the problem
on your own, remember liquid and electricity don’t mix and this could be
dangerous. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Unexplained Noise</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you think you are hearing things or your spouse or
children claims there is a ghost in your house, think again! Loud
noises, knocking or hissing could indicate a problem with your furnace. In normal operation your furnace turns on and
off to regulate your homes temperature and operates at a low hum, anything
louder and you should call for service.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Odd Odor</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s that smell? If
you smell mold, must, singed wires or anything else out of character for your
home, your furnace could be the culprit.
Foul odors will make it unpleasant and could have adverse health
effects. You need to call for service if
you are turning up your noise at the air from your vents <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Uneven Temperature </span></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When your furnace is functioning properly the temperature in
your home should be consistent throughout. If you suddenly have rooms or areas
with hot or cold spots this is a clear indication that something could be wrong
with your HVAC unit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Electric Bill Increase</span></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If your eyes went wide at the sight of your last electricity
bill and you are hard pressed to determine the cause, then it may be an issue
with your furnace. When your furnace is working as it should,
your bills should be fairly consistent every month depending on the time of
year. Unwarranted spikes in cost and consumption could mean that there's
something wrong, and that means you need help!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Overdue for Service</span></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If it's been a while since anyone has looked at your
furnace, then it's a good idea to have someone come in and do an inspection. A professional <a href="http://www.airexponj.com/heating">HVAC contractor</a> would recommend
yearly checkups. Your unit will be expertly looked at and small
problems can be repaired before bigger issues happen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Carbon Monoxide Alarm</span></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, if your gas or carbon monoxide alarms are triggered
you have a problem. First, you, your
family and pets need to leave your home immediately. Next, call your local HVAC contractor for
emergency repair service. For the safety of your family, a furnace that
may be leaking potentially dangerous gases cannot wait for repairs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HVAC problems may not be immediately obvious but it's
critical to your health, safety and comfort to recognize the warning signs and
quickly call for repair. If you experience
any of these issues, be sure to call a professional HVAC contractor ASAP to diagnose
and repair your system. Schedule a service call today! 973-283-0300<o:p></o:p></div>
