Your HVAC New Year Checklist ✅

We're happy to say "Goodbye!" to 2020 and welcome in a new year of possibilities! As you make your checklists, bucket lists, and new year's resolutions, make sure to prioritize the health and comfort of your household. One of the great ways you can do that is by making sure your HVAC is in working order for the new year. As the best heating and cooling company at the Lake of the Ozarks, Royal Heating & Air has your back. We are always here for you, and we love helping ensure you are comfortable and safe year-round. Keep reading for our tips about what should be on your HVAC to-do list this season! 

Head Outside to Check Your Unit

Make sure there aren't any leaks, damage from storms or animals, bad smells, or loud noises coming from the unit. It's also important to make sure the unit is clear from any debris like dead leaves, snow, fallen branches, etc. We recommend that there should be at least a 3-foot clearance around the entire unit.

Evaluate Your Air Flow

If some rooms in the house have trouble keeping temperature, then it could mean your HVAC is having serious issues. If you have trouble determining weather or not the temperature is different throughout the house based on feeling it yourself, there are tools that can help measure the ambient temperature coming out of the vents in your home. Pointing the detector at the vent will give you a read-out of the temperature of the air coming through it. If this number varies by more than a degree or two throughout the house, then there could be something wrong with your ductwork or the air conditioning unit itself. Another way to tell without a detector is by paying attention to how long your system is running to try and keep up. If it's running constantly, that could mean it's time for some maintenance. 

Change Your Air Filter

Air filters should be changed according to their type and amount of use, but on average filters should be changed every 30 to 90 days. Check your air filter every month to make sure it hasn't accumulated too much dust and debris. Having a clean air filter is crucial to maintaining good indoor air quality. If your air filter is dirty, then your air inside of your home will more than likely be dirty. This can negatively affect your immune system as well, making it harder for your body to fight off infection. 

Duct Cleaning & Sealing

It’s a good idea to have your ducts cleaned professionally every 5-7 years. It’s important to make sure that your air isn’t escaping through gaps and cracks in your ductwork either. On average, about 20-30% of air that flows through air ducts escapes through cracks in ductwork. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “Sealing and insulating ducts can improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by as much as 20 percent.” This could be a great way to save on energy and have a more comfortable home in 2021. 

Thermostat Upgrade

If you haven't already, you should consider a programmable thermostat. Not only are they convenient, but they are also cost-effective. Programmable thermostats allow you to easily control the temperature of your home around the clock, whether you’re home or away. Smart thermostats provide energy savings by learning your unique schedule and temperature preferences and adapting to them.

Schedule a Home Comfort Check

The comfort of your home is very important. What you might not realize is that keeping your home comfortable and performing regular check-ups could help save you quite a bit of money. As the best HVAC company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we at Royal Heating & Air have a team of experts that can help keep your home healthy and comfortable through the seasons while also saving you money on expensive repairs. Our Home Comfort Check service looks into your air conditioner's refrigerant levels and fan motor, as well as the furnace's heating elements and gas furnace burners. We make sure everything is in top-notch condition so you can enjoy a more comfortable home, worry-free. Give us a call to learn all about it! 573-480-4313

Our 5 Hottest Topics of 2020!

Royal Heating & Air is the best HVAC company at the Lake of the Ozarks, and we love being here for you and serving the Lake community year after year. 2020 was definitely one for the books. So many unexpected and challenging things happened this year. But as a company and as a team, we have been proud to continue serving you and making your homes a comfortable and safe place to be. 

Today, we are diving into the top blog topics of 2020 to refresh some important heating and cooling tips that can help keep you and your home as safe as possible. Keep reading to learn more! 

Indoor Air Quality & Allergies

If you feel like your indoor air quality could use some help, it could be time to call in a professional. Call the best heating and cooling company at the Lake of the Ozarks – Royal Heating & Air! Whether you need a maintenance check on your unit or an ultraviolet light system installed in the air ducts, we are there for you. Don’t spend your time in a house that feels stuffy and stale. Help get your home feeling cleaner and healthier with our team of expert technicians.

Several common issues that can negatively affect your indoor air quality include pollen, dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold, bacteria, and other harmful materials. These materials can accumulate in the carpeting, upholstery, and even in an unchanged air filter or uncleaned HVAC system. To make sure these items don't cause health issues for the people in your home, be sure to clean the surfaces in the house, change air filters regularly, and call Royal Heating & Air to have maintenance performed on the HVAC system. 

Benefits to Custom Ductwork 

Royal Heating and Air knows how important good HVAC is in a new home. One of the best solutions for good HVAC is designing custom ductwork for the new house. There are a lot of incredible benefits to custom ductwork that you can enjoy long after the last wall is painted and the last picture hung. 

Some of the benefits of custom ductwork include less wasted space, the use of higher-quality materials, increased efficiency, and more consistent temperatures throughout the home. Give us a call to learn more about custom ductwork and how it could benefit your home!

Mini Spilt Systems 

A mini-split system is made up of an indoor air handler and an outdoor compressor. During the summer, warm air is pulled in by the indoor unit and then passed over cold evaporator coils. The heat absorbed by the coils is brought to the outside unit and released there, away from your home. Regular HVAC systems function almost the same way, but in a longer and less efficient process. 

Mini split systems can benefit your home with improved efficiency, more control over the temperatures in each room of the house, and no need for ductwork to be installed. This could mean a mini split system would be the perfect solution for converting a home from window units to a more efficient and effective HVAC system.

HVAC UV Light System

UV light, or ultraviolet light, is not visible to the human eye. You are likely very familiar with the effects of UV light from the sun when you get a sunburn in the summer. This electromagnetic radiation has enough energy to break chemical bonds, which destroys cells. The UV light rays deactivate bacteria and viruses so that they are no longer able to multiply. That is why this is such an efficient, clean way to improve the air quality in your home. Rather than adding chemicals to the air like other cleaning methods, the UV light destroys any pathogens that it comes into contact with. Because the light stays on 24/7, the air quality in your home is protected at all times. The UV light system is so effective, that some users noticed almost immediately when the light burnt out as the air became less clean.

Humidity Issues 

The Lake of the Ozarks can have vast swings in humidity levels... In the summer the house can feel humid and stuffy, then in the winter the house can feel dry and full of static electricity. There are a lot of ways to combat these issues to enjoy a more comfortable home year-round. 

In the summer, try using a dehumidifier to prevent allergens and mold from spreading and to promote a cleaner and more comfortable environment. In the winter, it's a good idea to have a whole-home humidifier installed to help avoid illnesses that can come from a dry throat and sinuses. Humidity levels should be maintained at a comfortable level year-round, and Royal Heating & Air would love to help you with that!

UV Light Systems for Cold & Flu Season

Cold and flu season is upon us! If you are looking for ways to help improve your indoor air quality and stay as healthy as possible, Royal Heating & Air may have a solution for you! As the best heating and cooling company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we do whatever we can to help you keep your home comfortable and safe year-round. One of the ways we can help do this is by installing an ultraviolet light system into your HVAC. Ultraviolet light can prevent harmful materials from growing, replicating, and causing illnesses. You can harness this technology in your own home and destroy bad substances inside your HVAC system before they circulate in your home and make you sick. Keep reading to learn more about how this can help you!

Why Use UV Light?

There are several benefits to having a UV light system installed in your HVAC. Most importantly, it helps increase the air quality in your home and could keep you healthier by destroying allergens, bacteria, and viruses before they cause issues. 

1) Allergens

If someone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, air quality is extremely important to their quality of life. A UV light system can significantly help with this issue by eradicating common allergens in the duct work. You will notice that it feels easier to breathe and your lungs are less constricted than before.

2) Smells

Not only does the UV light reduce the number of bacteria in the air, but it also reduces smells and odors. As bacteria, viruses, and even mold grows in your HVAC system, it can start to smell bad. Think about the moldy food you found in the back of the refrigerator... gross. Having UV light working for you to keep the air ducts free from contaminants can help improve the smell in your home. 

3) Sickness

Are your family members sick all the time? It may be due to a medical condition, but it also could be because of a buildup of bacteria, viruses, and mold in your duct work. Breathing these pathogens in every day is harmful to anyone's health. Your body may get tired of fighting off so many potential illness and infections and become more vulnerable. One sleepless night or one stressful day could be all it takes for your immune system to be overloaded and no longer able to keep up. A UV light system can remove these harmful materials from your air ducts and ease the burden on your body to constantly fight off germs in the air. 

How Does UV Light Actually Work?

The UV light rays deactivate bacteria and viruses so that they are no longer able to multiply. That is why this is such an efficient, clean way to improve the air quality in your home. Rather than adding chemicals to the air like other cleaning methods, the UV light destroys any pathogens that it comes into contact with. Because the light remains on 24/7, the air quality in your home is protected at all times. The UV light system is so effective, that some users noticed almost immediately when the light burnt out as the air became less clean.

Best HVAC Company at the Lake of the Ozarks

Concerned about cold and flu season this year? Give yourself the best chance at staying healthy this season with an ultraviolet light system in your HVAC system. Royal Heating & Air can help you make your home as comfortable and safe as possible. Give us a call to learn more, or even just to schedule a check-up.

Watch Out for Carbon Monoxide This Season

In Missouri, heating your home in the winter season is something everyone has to do to stay safe and comfortable in below freezing temperatures. Keeping your home warm can become dangerous if you're not careful and diligent about maintaining your furnace. The furnace, as well as other household appliances, can cause carbon monoxide leaks that could be life threatening to you and your family. Royal Heating & Air is the best HVAC company at the Lake of the Ozarks, so we are brining you important tips on how to stay safe. Keep reading to learn all about carbon monoxide and how you can prevent this dangerous substance from threatening your family! 

What Is It?

Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that is less dense than air. Many furnaces are fuel-burning, which is a process that produces carbon monoxide. If your system is malfunctioning or has a leak, then the carbon monoxide can seep into your home and cause very serious problems, even death. Once it enters your home, you are susceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning. The carbon monoxide gas can fill your lungs and prevent you from being able to breathe the oxygen that you need. Many people don't realize they have a leak in their home because it doesn't have an odor. As a result, your symptoms may be the only clue that you have a problem.

What are the Symptoms?

• A dull headache
• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Confusion
• Blurred Vision
• Loss of consciousness

If you are experiencing this symptoms and suspect you may have a carbon monoxide leak in your home, leave the house immediately and call 911. Get outside so your lungs can breathe fresh, oxygenated air again and expel any carbon monoxide you may have inhaled. It's important that everyone in the home evacuate the house as well, including pets. If your exposure was extensive enough, you may require hospitalization. Investing in a carbon monoxide detector is a great idea to keep your family safe from this kind of emergency.

Do I Have a Leak?

If you are unsure whether or not your home has a carbon monoxide leak, we recommend you leave your home immediately. If you have severe symptoms, call 911. If you are not having symptoms but suspect you may have a leak, you can give us a call. We can come inspect your equipment to ensure it is operating correctly. If you notice stains, soot, or discoloration on or around your boiler, fireplace, or water heater - call us! It could mean you have a leak. Check your boiler or any other area that has a gas flame. If it normally burns blue and the flame is now yellow or orange, you could have a carbon monoxide leak.

Staying ahead of a leak is crucial. It is a silent killer. Regular inspections and paying attention to your equipment can help prevent potential dangers in your home. If you want peace of mind, give us a call and we will be more than happy to look over your HVAC equipment to make sure it is running properly. 

Preventing a Leak

One of the most important measures you can take to prevent a carbon monoxide leak is regular maintenance. We recommend having your HVAC unit checked every spring and fall to make sure your equipment is operating efficiently without leaks. Regular HVAC maintenance is a great way to catch any leaks before they become fatal. It is also recommended to have your fireplace inspected every year. Your fireplace can be a potential source of carbon monoxide. If your chimney has a blocked flue it can trap the carbon monoxide produced from burning, causing your home to accumulate dangerous levels. You can also install a carbon monoxide detector in your home. Detectors are a great tool to use in addition to regular inspections. Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed on every floor of your home at least five feet off the ground. If possible, install one near every sleeping area.

Why Custom Ductwork is a Must in New Construction!

If you're building your dream home, it's important to make sure it is going to be comfortable year-round! Whether the weather is hot and muggy or freezing cold, Royal Heating & Air can help you maintain a comfortable home with professional, custom ductwork and the best heating and cooling systems at the Lake of the Ozarks. Custom ductwork is the best way to ensure efficient airflow throughout the house. Keep reading to learn how!

Custom-Made For Your Home

When you hire a professional to create custom ductwork, they will create it to be perfectly suited for your HVAC system and your home. Your fabricator will ensure that your home receives the proper air load. They will also create the ducts to have the straightest route from your air handler to a given room. If your ductwork has too many turns, it can make it harder for your system to deliver the necessary air flow to your living spaces. They will also create a matching return duct for every supply register. Having matching supply and return ducts helps optimize the circulation in your home. The most important part of custom sheet metal ducts is that they are properly sealed, which prevents air loss and helps increase energy efficiency and indoor air quality, ultimately putting less stress on your system.

Increased Performance

With ductwork that's custom-made for your home, you'll have better overall performance for your HVAC system. The improvement in airflow will help regulate temperatures in rooms throughout the home. Keeping the temperature constant with fewer temperature swings prevents your system from overworking itself. This can be especially beneficial for upstairs rooms or other rooms that typically get hotter or colder than others. Controlled temperatures throughout your home not only increase the performance of your system, but also promote a longer life for your HVAC system.

Improved Efficiency

With custom ductwork, air can travel through the ducts more easily and without interruptions. Greater efficiency means that hot or cold air will travel through your ductwork without losing energy. This improved efficiency not only reduces a significant amount of waste, it can also save you money on your monthly energy bills. Proper ductwork, designed specifically for your home, keeps your HVAC system working more efficiently and at a lower cost.

Better Air Balance & Flow

One of the biggest issues with ductwork is poor installation. If typical, pre-made ductwork is installed in your home, it may be forcefully shoved into place, which can cause pinching or collapsing. These problems can seriously interfere with the system’s air balance and flow. Getting ductwork custom-designed for your home's specific measurements ensures that air flows without any hindrances. It will also help make sure that the air moving through your ducts gets to your rooms via the shortest possible path. With custom ductwork, you can rest assured that your system is perfectly balanced.

Best HVAC at the Lake of the Ozarks 

Custom ductwork and sheet metal fabrication can help make your home more efficient and comfortable year-round. This is important in climates like Missouri where the weather can change day-to-day. If you are remodeling your house or building the home of your dreams, now is the perfect time to get a consultation for custom ductwork from Royal Heating & Air. We are here for you and your comfort at home!

Improve HVAC for Better Sleep!

Getting enough high-quality sleep is important to overall health. Royal Heating & Air prioritizes your comfort and health, using our extensive HVAC expertise. Today we have several tips on how to improve your HVAC system and habits to help you sleep better. Keep reading to learn important factors that affect the quality of sleep and how we can help! 

Temperature

Do you feel more comfortable sleeping at a cooler temperature than normal? You're not alone! Most people sleep better in a cooler room, as body temperature tends to lower a couple of degrees at night as it prepares to sleep. The ideal temperature range for sleeping is 60-68 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why, in the summer, it's important to have your air conditioner serviced so that it is in top-notch condition and able to keep you cool and comfortable all night long. 

Air Quality

Indoor air quality is a hot topic, and a very important one. As a society, we spend a lot of time inside, especially in the winter season. It's important that the air we breathe be clean and fresh to help promote our health rather than hinder it. Keep the air in your house clean by dusting and vacuuming, changing the air filter regularly, scheduling HVAC checks, and installing a UV light system in the ductwork to destroy bacteria and other harmful materials. 

Humidity

The humidity levels in the air can greatly affect how comfortable you are, day and night. If the air feels too dry, then your skin, sinuses, and airways can also become too dry. Dry air can also feel cooler and cause you to turn the heat up higher than necessary. Royal Heating & Air can help with a whole-home humidifier to keep the house comfortable all season long.

HVAC at the Lake

If you are having a hard time sleeping because or the temperature, air quality, or humidity in your home, then it is probably time to take a look at the HVAC system. As the best heating and cooling company at the Lake of the Ozarks, Royal Heating & Air is here for you to help make the house more comfortable so you can enjoy better, deeper sleep.
