Why Your Ductwork Is So Important

Monday, March 13th, 2023

Ductwork is something that’s out of sight, out of mind for most homeowners. It’s understandable that you don’t really think about something that’s tucked behind the walls and ceilings of your home. However, just because you can’t see your ductwork doesn’t mean that you should neglect it. Your ducts are a vital part of your home comfort.

If you think of your HVAC system as the heart of your home, your ducts are its arteries. Just like the arteries distribute blood throughout the body, your ductwork is what delivers the conditioned air to your home. If your ductwork isn’t in optimal condition, it affects many things such as your utility bills, your indoor air quality (IAQ), and your home comfort in general.

Let’s take a look at how we can help you improve your home’s ductwork in Oakville, ON.

Target Contaminants With an Air Purifier

Friday, February 11th, 2022

Air purifiers are amazing pieces of technology. Before UV air purifiers were invented, we paid professionals to do extensive work throughout our air ducts and our homes just to remove half as many contaminants as these systems can do on their own. The amount of legwork and elbow grease that was required to do what an air purifier does is pretty remarkable.

We know that to anyone who isn’t familiar with air purifiers in Vaughan, ON, they can seem like magic. We’ve met plenty of homeowners that just don’t trust them because they simply don’t understand how a system so small and simple could do so much.

Well, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re going to go into deep detail about how UV air purifiers work, how they target contaminants, and ultimately how they keep your home clean, safe, and odor-free. Just make sure you call our team for an installation if you’re interested!

How Long Does an Air Filter Last?

Monday, July 19th, 2021

We talk a lot about air purification systems and air conditioners on this blog, but we don’t give nearly enough attention to air filters.

Air filtration systems go through a lot of abuse. While homeowners might understand that cleaning an air filter is a regular practice, those air filter systems also don’t last forever. In fact, an air filter will start to lose effectiveness after about five years, and depending on the type of air filtration system, you’ll see more contaminants in your air as a result.

We’re not saying this to scare you or make you think your air filter is falling apart. Instead, we’d like to take this as an opportunity for you to invest in air filter replacement in Brampton, ON that takes care of your air like your old one used to.
