3 Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality for your Family

Your HVAC system does more than just keep your family warm in the winter and cool in the summer, it actually helps provide better indoor air quality (IAQ).  Pollutants come from all directions, some can be created in the home (like household cleaners, off-gassing from furniture and carpet, and cooking) and other can find their way into the home (like outdoor allergens, mold, and bacteria).  No matter how they get there, they can have a significant effect on your health, and they can also reduce the efficiency and life span of your HVAC unit.

Why does IAQ matter?

On average, people spend 90% of their time indoors.  But did you know that overall, IAQ is two to five times more contaminated than the air you breathe outside?  The Environment Protection Agency agrees that poor IAQ can have a very negative impact on people’s health.  We also know that those with compromised immune systems, the elderly, and children can be particularly vulnerable when exposed to pollutants.  While pet dander and mold are the most common causes of poor IAQ, there are other contributing pollutants found in most homes like mold and fungi, bacteria and germs, humidity imbalances, outdoor pollen, household chemicals, ozone, stale air and cooking residue.  If you notice condensation on your windows, musty odors, warping wood, peeling paint, or loose drywall tape, those may be signs of poor IAQ.  If you notice coughing or sneezing, or getting headaches, or if you feel you breathe easier when you are not in your home, it may be worth looking into your IAQ.

How does cleaning and filtration help?

One of the simplest things any homeowner can do to maintain good IAQ is to replace your air filter every three months or more.  It is said that the average home will accumulate up to 40 pounds of dust each year!  If filters are not changed regularly, they are not as effective in filtering out those particles which means dust gets circulated in with the air you breathe. Clogged filters can even tax your whole HVAC system by reducing airflow and efficiency.  Also, when dust covers the components of your HVAC system, it can actually lead to premature part failure or shorten the life span of your unit.

Air cleaners can be used when filtration is not enough.  Air cleaners will capture much more than the standard dust and dander that air filters catch.  Most air cleaners will trap bacteria, smoke, pollen, airborne pathogens, and more.  Usually air cleaners can block organisms down to the size of one or even one-third micron, potentially eliminating pathogens like the common cold. 

What does ventilation do?

While every homeowner wants to make their home energy efficient, some homes are so air tight that they don’t allow for proper air flow.  Poor ventilation can not only make the air feel stuffy and hard to breathe, it can lead to poor humidity.  Humidity, whether too high or too low, can contribute to the creation of bacteria, viruses, mildew, mold and fungus.  These pollutants are not only bad to breathe, but they can cover your HVAC components and reduce efficiency just like dust.  A ventilator can be a great solution because with each cycle, it brings in fresh air and expels stale air.  Many ventilators can condition the incoming air by using the energy of the outgoing air, and thereby lower energy consumption as well. 

Are Ultra Violet (UV) lamps effective?

Sometimes, it is better to take it to the next level with a UV lamp in your HVAC.  When air cleaners and ventilation are not enough to block the pollutants and airborne pathogens you are concerned about, a UV lamp can be a fantastic solution.  Sometimes environmental conditions can cause your HVAC coil to become a host for bacteria and mold spores too.  To stop this problem and others at the source, a UV lamp can be installed inside your HVAC or within your ductwork.  This will help to stop these contaminants in their tracks, block the spread of bacteria and prevent a larger mold problem. 

If you are interested in improving your IAQ, consider us a resource to walk you through your options.  At Royal Heating and Air we believe everyone deserves to breathe clean air and feel their best.  We are here to help you with inspections, proper HVAC maintenance, and advice on air cleaners, ventilators, UV lamps, and more to help you and everyone in your home breathe just a little easier.  It is just one more way that Royal Heating and Air really is the king of comfort.  To learn more, check out our website or call (573) 480-4313 today!

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!

Indoor Air Quality & Allergies – What to Do?!

The temperature may be below freezing with wind that takes your breath away. But believe it or not, spring is a mere 5 weeks away! So, it’s time to start preparing for the warmer weather and the potential air quality issues that can come with it. Royal Heating & Air is the best HVAC Company at the Lake of the Ozarks, and we have several years of experience with indoor air quality. There are a lot of ways to help keep the air clean and fresh this spring. Read on to learn some of our favorite tips! 

Pollen

Spring is a beautiful time of year. Who doesn’t love the end of winter, sunny days, and blooming flowers? If you have allergies or asthma, however, spring could be a frustrating and difficult time for you. As all of those gorgeous plants and flowers are blooming, they are also releasing pollen into the air. This pollen can cause allergic reactions like itchy and watery eyes, runny nose, and headache. For some it can be so bad that they have to take medication throughout the whole season and can hardly function when exposed to too much pollen. These particles can end up inside the home by hitching a ride on clothes or blowing in through an open window.

If you are experiencing respiratory symptoms or allergic reactions inside your home, it might mean that your air filter is overdue for a replacement. Each type lasts for a different amount of time before it needs to be replaced. Once it is full, it can no longer efficiently filter the air in your home, and harmful materials and allergens circulate through the air in your home causing difficulties.

Dust

Another common allergen that could be causing issues for you and your family is dust and the resulting dust mites. Dust can be an agitator that causes inflammation in your respiratory system. This makes it more difficult to breathe clearly and freely. Your body may be trying to tell you something by sneezing more often when you are indoors, trying to remove the dust particles from your nasal passages.

Your air conditioning unit and the compressor could also be dirty and clogged, which limits the airflow indoors. With limited airflow, less fresh air is being circulated inside your home. This can cause allergens to settle and continue to give you respiratory issues.

Mold & Bacteria

Another source of respiratory concern is mold and bacteria. If these harmful materials are circulated inside your home and then breathed in by you and your family members, you could be in danger of getting sick more often. These pathogens can come from a lot of different sources: pet accidents, particles getting kicked up from the carpet, tracked-in substances from shoes, improperly cleaned portable humidifiers, and many more.

Royal Heating & Air can help remove bacteria and mold from the air inside your home by installing an HVAC UV Light System. This system uses ultraviolet light to destroy harmful materials and sterilize the air that passes through the light. Imagine how much cleaner the air in your home could be with a sanitizing UV light system in your HVAC!

Air Quality at the Lake

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.

Fight Your Fall Allergies By Improving Your Indoor Air Quality!

Fall allergies have arrived. If you find yourself suffering, we have a few tips to help fight your fall allergies by improving your indoor air quality. Not only is it important for the air inside your home to be a comfortable temperature, you want the quality of the air to be good as well. While some things may be out of your control, there are little things you can do around your home to improve the quality of the air that you and your family are breathing in on a daily basis. This time of year is a great time to do some indoor maintenance to your home and HVAC system to help improve your allergy symptoms. Your premier HVAC company at the Lake of the Ozarks have a few tips to improve your indoor air quality from Royal Heating & Air.


Check Your Filters

Fall is a great time to check your air filters. As your system runs, it will circulate the dust and dirt throughout your home causing your allergies to flare up even more. Dirty filters don't trap the dirt as efficiently as clean or new filters would. It is recommended to clean or change your air filters every couple of months. As the dust settles in your home, be sure to keep your surfaces clean and dust free. The excess dust will irritate seasonal allergies, so staying on top of your cleaning regimen will help reduce symptoms.


Keep Your Floors Clean

One of the easiest ways to keep pollutants out of the air in your home is to clean your floors regularly. Allergens easily settle and accumulate on the floors of your home. From carpet to tile or wood flooring, you want to keep them all clean. By vacuuming often, you reduce pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. Mopping the floors picks up the dust that's left after vacuuming. To keep your floors from getting too dirty in the first place, be sure to put a doormat down for people to wipe their shoes on. You can even ask people to take their shoes off at the door to cut down on the pollutants brought into your home.


Invest In a Whole-Home Humidifier

As the cooler weather approaches, we switch from air conditioning to heat. As this switch happens, the dry air from your system can cause the same symptoms as your allergies. If you are already suffering from allergies, the heat can irritate your symptoms even more. A whole-home humidifier can help relieve your symptoms by adding moisture back into the air. The whole-home humidifier covers more square feet of home, as well as, adjusts automatically to your homes humidity level. Give us a call and we can help you understand the benefits of a whole home humidifier system.


Keep Your AC Clean
Keeping your HVAC unit clean is another great way to improve your indoor air quality, and you're giving your system a longer life in the process. Make sure leaves and other outside debris is clear from your unit to help it run efficiently.  Be sure to check the coils and drip pan regularly too.

Book Your Fall HVAC Maintenance Today!

Many of these steps are things you can accomplish on your own, but when it comes to a properly working HVAC system, you know who to call. Our Lake of the Ozarks HVAC company is here for all your heating and cooling needs. We want to help you with improving your indoor air quality by ensuring your system is in tip-top shape.

5 Tips for Improving Your Indoor Air Quality

Not only is it important for the air inside your home to be a comfortable temperature, you want the quality of the air to be good as well. While some things may be out of your control, there are little things you can do around your home to improve the quality of the air that you and your family are breathing in on a daily basis. Keep reading for tips to improve your indoor air quality from Royal Heating & Air.

1. Keep Your Floors Clean. 

One of the easiest ways to keep pollutants out of the air in your home is to clean your floors regularly. Chemicals and allergens easily settle and accumulate on the floors of your home. From carpet to tile or wood flooring, you want to keep them all clean. By vacuuming often, you reduce concentrations of lead, brominated fire-retardant chemicals (PBDEs), pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. Mopping the floors picks up the dust that's left after vacuuming. To keep your floors from getting too dirty in the first place, be sure to put a doormat down for people to wipe their shoes on. You can even ask people to take their shoes off at the door to cut down on the pollutants brought into your home. 

2. Assess the Chemical Use in Your Home. 

Consistently using chemicals inside your home is not good for your health. While keeping your home clean is essential to improving your indoor air quality, how you complete that cleaning is also important. When possible, try to use all natural cleaning solutions such as vinegar and lemon. Industrial cleaners leave a residue that affects your air quality. Many household products, cleaning and otherwise, contain volatile organic compounds. You can reduce your exposure to VOCs by: purchasing natural cleaning products and air fresheners, avoiding aerosol sprays, purchasing fragrance-free or all-natural soaps and detergents, using soy or beeswax candles instead of petroleum-based wax, and using houseplants known to filter the air. 

3. Improve Your Ventilation Systems. 

Poor ventilation in your home can directly impact indoor air quality. Air flow is crucial for good indoor air quality. You can easily improve the airflow in your home by: opening a window, operating attic & ceiling fans, hiring a professional to clean and inspect the ducts in your home, and running exhaust fans when you cook, clean or bathe. Airtight homes, while "energy-efficient," tend to have poor indoor air quality because the pollutants can't escape, and fresh air isn't introduced.  

4. Reduce the Humidity in Your Home. 

Dust mites and mold, both contributors to poor air quality, love moisture. Controlling the humidity levels in your home is another way to improve your indoor air quality. Keeping the humidity level inside your home around 30-50% will help keep these, and other allergens, under control. Using a dehumidifier is one of the best ways to monitor and control the humidity levels inside your home. Learn more about this in our blog titled, "Benefits of Using a Dehumidifier in Your Home." 

5. Keep Your AC Clean. 

Keeping your HVAC unit clean is another great way to improve your indoor air quality, and you're giving your system a longer life in the process. Changing the air filter on your HVAC system monthly is one of the easiest things you can do to keep your system clean and running efficiently. The purpose of an air filter is to keep pollutants out of your air. It needs to be clean in order to do it's job. It's important to keep the rest of your system clean as well. Be sure to check the coils and drip pan regularly too.

Many of these steps are things you can accomplish on your own, but when it comes to a properly working HVAC system, you know who to call. Our Lake of the Ozarks HVAC company is here for all your heating and cooling needs. We want to help you with improving your indoor air quality by ensuring your system is in tip-top shape.

Could Your HVAC System Be Causing Indoor Air Odor?

If the air in your home is a little smelly, you may use air fresheners or candles to get rid of the smell. However, these tactics could only be masking the odors, not getting rid of them. In order to combat the smell in your home, you need to locate the source, and it could be caused by your HVAC system. There are several reasons why your indoor air quality could be declining, and Royal Heating & Air is here to help you get your home smelling like new again.

What Could Be Causing It?

Bacteria, dust mites, animal dander and mold may be the cause of your home's odor problem. In addition, poor ventilation could contribute to unpleasant odors. Moisture build-up on walls and windows and stagnate air are both signs of poor ventilation. Poor ventilation could lead to mold, which could lead to musty smells in your home.

Dirty Sock Syndrome

Dirty Sock Syndrome is the foul, moldy smelling odor that comes from your air conditioner when it's first turned on. It's caused by the build up of mold and bacteria on the evaporator coil. Mold and mildew can grow due to the moisture that builds up on the coil through continued use, and it's fueled by the dust that collects in the AC unit over time from inadequate filtration.

What Can Be Done?

The best way to combat indoor odor is to find the source of the smell. Whether it's poor ventilation or mold growth on the AC coils, you need to find the source and eliminate it. One way to clean the air in your home is to install UV lights in your HVAC system, which can help kill odors and prevent the growth of mold and other contaminants. It's important to also have your HVAC system serviced twice a year. Our Lake of the Ozarks HVAC service technicians can inspect your AC unit to ensure it's clean and free of any mold build-up. Don't forget to also regularly check the filter and change as necessary. A dirty air filter can lead to major issues in your HVAC system, including mold growth on the AC coils.

Royal Heating & Air can help you have better indoor air by taking a look at your HVAC system. To schedule a service appointment with one of our Lake of the Ozark HVAC technician, call us today at 573-480-4313.

4 Reasons Why Indoor Air Quality Is Important

American's spend nearly 90 percent of their time indoors, so having quality indoor air to breathe is important. Often times, indoor air quality is worse than outdoor air quality. In fact, indoor air quality is ranked within the top 5 environmental risks to public health according to the U.S. EPA. In honor of National Care About Your Indoor Air Month, here are four reasons why indoor air quality is important brought to you by Lake of the Ozarks' best heating and cooling company. 

1. Important To Your Health

Indoor air quality can affect your health in many different ways including headaches, dizziness, nausea, skin problems and eye, nose and throat irritation. These symptoms can often be confused with other illnesses. If you notice relief from your symptoms soon after leaving a particular room or building, they may be caused by indoor air contaminants. In addition, indoor air pollution can also trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks and respiratory symptoms. In the worst cases, exposure to high levels of some pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, can even result in fatalities. 

2. Comfort In Your Home

Mold is commonly associated with poor indoor air quality. Mold is often caused by your home having too much humidity. Too much humidity in your home can cause you to not be completely comfortable in your home, especially if your home has mold, as there are many side effects of mold including fatigue, headaches and poor memory. Typically, your HVAC system will control the amount of humidity in your home. However, sometimes it needs a little help. Luckily, with the help of dehumidifiers, your home can give you comfort no matter the season.

3. Be More Productive

If your indoor air quality is poor, you may experience a few side effects including fatigue, weakness, headaches, poor memory and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can make it hard to be productive. American's spend nearly 90 percent of their time indoors, so it's important to ensure that the indoor air you breathe is clean and free of pollutants. In addition, if your HVAC system is properly filtrating out the pollutants, it can lead to better sleep, which we all know is good for a productive day.

4. Effects On HVAC System

Pollutants can even reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. If your home has many pollutants, it can affect the humidity levels in your home making it harder to heat or cool. If your HVAC system is not running efficiently, it can also shorten the lifespan. However, if you do have an efficient system, there are many benefits, including better indoor air! Your HVAC system could help remove contaminants, bacteria, molds, pollen and viruses that all affect the quality of your indoor air, making the air you breathe healthier. However, there are also add-ons, such as air purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and UV lamps that could help your HVAC system clean your air. 

Cleaner Air With Royal Heat & Air

If you are experiencing some of the symptoms of poor indoor air quality, check out our blog from last week about how you can improve your home's indoor air. If you are wanting to upgrade your HVAC system to improve the quality of your home's indoor air, contact Royal Heating & Air at 573-480-4313. In addition, the best heating and cooling company at the Lake of the Ozarks can install air purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and UV lamps that can help your HVAC system.
