Follow these suggestions from Aire Serv to create a more “green”, energy efficient home:

• Install a programmable thermostat that adjusts the temperature when at home or away. Why keep your house cool/warm when nobody is home?
• Use high efficiency air filters to help your air conditioning system stay clean longer.
• Plant trees or shrubs to shade the air conditioning unit, but not so close that they block air flow.
• Have your professional air conditioning provider clean your units coils regularly - about every six months – to prevent dirt and dust build-up.
• Check the attic, crawl space or basement to make sure it’s properly insulated.
• If installing a new unit, look for a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) number on air conditioners. Some units manufactured about 10 years ago were in the 10 SEER range while many units today are in the 20 SEER range. Going from a 10 to 20 SEER will cut your cooling costs in half.
• If installing a new HVAC unit, consider donating or recycling your old unit. A unit in working order can be donated and non-functioning pieces can be picked-up by your municipal solid waste agency or Steel Recycling Institute. Go to recycle-steel.org or visit earth911.org for more local options.

As homes become more energy-efficient, they are also becoming more susceptible to indoor air pollutants, due to the limited exchange of indoor air and fresh outdoor air. Failure to eliminate indoor air pollutants can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea and respiratory irritation, as well as aggravation of asthma and allergy conditions.

Frequent vacuuming and dusting can help to keep your indoor air clean, but the smallest particles that cause the most irritation can only be removed with filtering devices. Aire Serv can identify the important issues and provide a solution tailored to your specific need.
