Don't Live with Dirty Air -- Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned
Health & Air Duct Cleaning Health is important to families in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley, Richmond, and Surrey. We have some of the best outdoor air quality in the world. But are we paying enough attention to our indoor air quality? Scientists say that almost half of all illnesses come from indoor air. Because indoor air is trapped, it's much more toxic than outdoor air, and an average house is home to over 40 million dust mites. Stop breathing stale air. Take action now to protect yourself and your family against dust mites, bacteria , mold, dander and mildew by having your ducts professionally cleaned. Air Duct Cleaning is Efficient Over the course of the year, bacteria, mold, dander, and other contaminates have made themselves at home in your house, and have become trapped in your duct work. Air circulating through the ducts will move these pests around your home, where they can make you sick, especially if you or someone in your family suffers from allergies, asthma, or a depressed immune system. Having your air ducts clean can remove up to 97% of these harmful airborne contaminates. Cleaning Air Ducts Makes Life Easier for the HVAC System If you're like most homeowners, your furnace is one of the biggest ticket items in your home. Your heating bill is also a major concern. Clean ducts mean your furnace won't have to work as hard to achieve the same results. That saves wear and tear on your furnace while also putting a dent in your heating bill. Air Duct Cleaning is Particularly Important for Family Members with Allergies If anyone in your family suffers from any respiratory concern -- allergies, asthma, environmental sensitivity -- it's important he or she breathes air that is as clean as possible.

Keeping Your Hot Water Tank in Top Condition Your hot water heater is one of the most expensive, and important, pieces of equipment in your home -- no one wants to be stuck without the ability to take a warm shower. But when was the last time you showed your hot water tank a little TLC? Many consumers in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and Langley don't realize that their hot water tank needs some regular Hot Water Tank Maintenance from a professional to keep it performing at top level. Maintenance 101 Over time, ordinary debris builds up in a hot water tank. That build-up makes the tank less efficient, and shortens its life. To get the best performance from your tank, enlist a professional to flush out that harmful build-up. Flushing mineral debris, algae, bacteria, and dirt from a water heater can significantly extend its life as well as increase the quantity and temperature of domestic hot water the heater provides. Stop Problems Before They Start Having your water heater maintained can save on hot water tank repairs and prevent ordinary problems, problems you may not even be aware of. An unmaintained water heater is less efficient; It burns more gas than it needs. Once your water heater has been flushed, it will burn less gas. It will also avoid being under or over fired. Up Your Energy Efficiency The hot water heater is one of the major energy users in an average home. Flushing it out can make it more efficient, preventing energy from being wasted. Saving energy is as good as saving money, and it's environmentally friendly, too. Keep Your Home Safe Most of your major household appliances should be looked over by a professional on a regular basis, and the hot water tank is no exception. A professional can avoid gas leaks and ensure that your water heater has perfect combustion. This routine care not only keeps your heater operating efficiently, but also prevents possibly dangerous situations from developing. Avoid Unpleasant Surprises Is there anything homeowners like less than an unexpected costly repair? Hot water tank repairs are expensive and usually inconvenient, too. Regular maintenance can stop most problems before they get a chance to develop into a serious and expensive affair. It's a small cost now to save a big cost later. Even better, maintenance can be performed at the time most convenient to you. You won't be caught by surprise if you make time to look after your hot water heater now.

Boost Your Productivity with Air Conditioning The Lower Mainland is a beautiful place to live and do business, but costs can be high. Smart business owners in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, and Langley are always looking for ways to reduce costs and improve employee productivity. One surprising method may seem counter-intuitive at first: Install air conditioning. Air conditioning costs money to install and run, but your most valuable resource -- your personnel -- will be more efficient in a temperature-controlled environment. Changing with the Environment Not that long ago, no one needed air conditioning in the Lower Mainland. Winters were cooler and summers were temperate. Long-time Lower Mainland residents may scoff at the need for temperature control in the summer, even as they take it for granted that they will use heating in the winter. But climate change means that the global temperature is on the rise, and Vancouver is no exception. Business owners need to adjust to the changing reality in order to achieve the best possible results. Workers Work Harder When Temperatures Stay Cool Anyone who has suffered through a heatwave knows that too much heat makes us cranky, slow moving, and less likely to take initiative. Research backs up this common-sense observation. Multiple studies have found that air conditioning results in a boost in worker productivity. One study, conducted in the United States in the fifties, found that air conditioning improved the productivity of typists by 25%. A similar study found that nearly all business owners reported that air conditioning improved the productivity of their workers. A 2010 study conducted in Thailand found that even small variations in temperature could affect workers' ability to complete tasks quickly and accurately. Economists such as Yale's William Nordhaus and Northwestern's Benjamin Jones have found that in countries too poor to have access to air conditioning, productivity takes a major hit in the hot months. Too Much of a Good Thing Looking at all this evidence, business owners may be mislead into thinking that cooler is always better. In fact, multiple studies have found that this is not the case. The key is using an air conditioning unit to keep your business at the right temperature, not at the lowest temperature possible. A recent study out of Cornell University found that workers performed better and made fewer errors when the ambient temperature was set to 24°. Any lower than that, and performance worsened; Any higher, and productivity decreased.

Surprising Health Benefits of Air Conditioning Even before the most recent heat wave, it's been impossible to deny that life in the Lower Mainland is heating up. Consumers throughout Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, and Langley are struggling to stay cool as temperature soar skyward. Home and business owners know that air conditioning can contribute to a luxurious living environment, but many don't realize that it can be good for health, too. Improve Activity Levels Multiple studies have found that people are more productive when they're kept cool and comfortable. This productivity boost is the reason that more and more businesses and offices have opted for air conditioning in recent years. An active life is a healthier life, and air conditioning can help keep activity and productivity levels up through the summer doldrums. There is even some evidence that a cool, comfortable environment increases intellectual performance. In addition, members of a comfortable household will feel less stress. Reduce Serious Health Risks It's been a grim reality that heatwaves can result in serious casualties, including hospital admissions and even death. In studies of warmer climates, such as California, most of these heat-related illnesses were found in people who lived in households that lacked air conditioning. One study found that air conditioning reduced the risk of a member of the household suffering from either cardiovascular or respiratory distress. Another study, this time conducted in Chicago, found that air conditioning was the strongest protective factor against death during a heatwave. The health risks of a heatwave are particularly acute in those whose health is already vulnerable, such as people who are very old, very young, ill, or frail. Control Allergens Allergies are an increasingly common problem. People with allergies are particularly likely to benefit from air conditioning. Modern air conditioning systems include a filter. The filter removes allergens such as dust mites, pollen, smoke, and dander. It also improves air quality by eliminating or reducing unpleasant odors. Installing an air conditioning system will result in an immediate and obvious improvement in indoor air quality. Air conditioning also allows home and business owners to keep the windows closed, keeping allergy-aggravating pollen and insects outside, where they belong. Making the Most of your Air Conditioner In order to get the maximum health benefits from your air conditioning system, follow a few simple guidelines. Keep your ambient temperature reasonable, slightly above standard room temperature. Enlist the help of a professional when choosing and installing an air conditioning system. Once your system is in place, be sure to have it serviced regularly by a qualified HVAC professional. Regular maintenance will ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your air conditioning system.
