Improving Your Quality of Living at Home

Understanding how environmental factors in your home’s interior can affect your quality of living can help increase your comfort indoors. Stone Heating and Air, one of the top HVAC repair companies in the state, lists some of these factors below and suggests ways you can improve the quality of living in your home.

Improving Your Quality of Living at Home

Temperature and Humidity

Most homeowners pay attention to the temperature inside their home, but fail to take into account the role of humidity in maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. These two factors usually go hand-in-hand. High temperatures prompt your body to produce more sweat, which is supposed to help cool you down. However, high humidity levels can interfere with the body’s natural cooling process. This is because it’s harder for sweat to evaporate if the air is humid and already has a lot of moisture in it.

When combined with high temperatures, high levels of humidity can make your skin feel sticky. To help control the humidity levels in your home you could get a dehumidifier, but your HVAC system will usually suffice. Just make sure an air conditioning repair and maintenance contractor routinely inspects and maintains your HVAC system.

Air Quality

High levels of humidity and poor air quality are a recipe for disaster because there’s always the chance that mold spores are present in the air. When exposed to enough moisture, these spores can result in mold growth, which further deteriorates indoor air quality.

An air purifier is able to filter out these spores, as well as other allergens like dust and pollen. Newer HVAC systems usually have an air purification feature, so if you have an older model, it might be time for an HVAC replacement. If you do happen to decide that the purchase of a new HVAC system if feasible for you, only hire reputable local contractors to install it.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!

Great Service, knowledgeable service technician This was for our guest house heater. I was very happy with the service provided. They were on time, polite and clean. They inspected the Monitor heater and then proceeded to clean it and they were able to fix that. Will definitely use for jobs in the future

Excellent service! Excellent service! Knowledgeable staff! I was very impressed with the responsiveness and knowledge of your team. Shortly after 1 called for an appointment, Dave and Gino did a thorough inspection of my system and explained all of the areas that needed repair or replacement. They gave me short and long-term options and the benefits of both. HVAC is not something I know a lot about so I had appreciated their patience. Overall, it was a great experience! 5 STARS!! Highly recommend Stone Heating and Air!
