Must-Do HVAC Checklist Before the New Baby!

If you are expecting a new baby soon, you are probably getting the house ready by decorating the nursery; stocking up on baby clothes, bottles, and diapers; and getting your "go bag" ready for the delivery. But, have you given any thought to preparing your HVAC system? If not, you could be letting bacteria, dry air, and bad air flow affect your health and the health of the baby when you get home. Royal Heating & Air is the best HVAC company at the Lake of the Ozarks, and we care a great deal about you and your health. That's why today's blog is addressing how to get your HVAC ready for the new little one that will be joining you soon. Keep reading to learn more!


Change Air Filters


The air filter in your HVAC system needs to be regularly changed. The frequency depends on how thick the filter is. Some need to be changed once a month, while others don't need to be changed until six months down the road. Make sure you read the instructions for your filter carefully and don't let a full, dirty filter sit in your system. Not only can it let some dust and bacteria through if it's full, but it can also make it harder for your HVAC system to work efficiently as it tries to push air through the full filter.

Get a UV Light System


The air in your home gets circulated over and over again. While there are filters in place that can regularly be changed, there are a lot of ways that bacteria, viruses, and other harmful materials like mold and mildew can enter the air in your home. A UV Light System can help destroy these kinds of harmful materials by preventing them from replicating and spreading. Royal Heating & Air can install a UV Light System in your air ducts to keep your indoor air cleaner for you and the baby! 

Install a Whole Home Humidifier


Dry air saps the moisture from your skin, but it can also dry out your eyes, nose, and throat. Dry eyes feel scratchy and uncomfortable and can make it hard to focus. If your sinuses get dehydrated, they can feel tight and even sore at times. If your nasal passages get too dry, it can be hard for your system to fight bacteria and viruses due to the lack of mucus that captures and disposes of those pathogens. having the right amount of humidity in your home can make your whole family - including the baby - more comfortable. Royal Heating & Air can install a whole home humidifier system for you that measures the amount of humidity in your air and adjusts it for you automatically.


Programmable Thermostat


When you get home from the hospital, you're going to have a lot going on! A programmable thermostat can help keep your home at the right temperature and help your HVAC system work more efficiently without you having to think about it. The smart thermostat can automatically turn the temperature down at night for a more comfortable night of sleep for all of you, and then bring the temperature back up during the day. (Or vice-versa in the summer months.)

Maintenance Checks


It's important to have an HVAC system that is functioning properly so that the air flow in the house is as consistent and clean as possible. If something is going wrong with your HVAC, then your whole home could feel off. It's important to have regular checks on your furnace and air conditioning units. Call Royal Heating & Air to schedule a check before your little one arrives to make sure there are no leaks or minor issues that could become a huge deal down the road.
