At such a short distance from Miami, Oakland Park is one of the best places to be during the summer months. You can enjoy the beautiful Florida weather in your own backyard and then head right inside to cool down and relax.

But if your home’s indoor air quality is poor, relaxing may not be so easy.

How to Improve Residential Indoor Air Quality in Oakland Park

Residential indoor air quality is largely determined by your HVAC system’s ability to filter out debris and allergens. If your home has low indoor air quality, you and your family are subject to headaches, allergy flare-ups, and even difficulty breathing!

You can prevent this and improve your indoor air quality by requesting a technician to install a HEPA filter and air purification system the next time you service your HVAC system or during your annual AC tune-up.

Together, a HEPA filter and an air purifications system will dramatically reduce the number of airborne pathogens and debris in the air, resulting in a better environment for your family.

As pollen and other contaminants enter your home from outdoors, a HEPA filter will prevent them from entering your AC system’s ductwork. Microscopic bacteria and pathogens may sneak past your HEPA filter, but your UV air purification system will use its short-wave ultraviolet light to eliminate them. 

How Often Is AC Maintenance Needed?

To keep your air quality levels safe and your air conditioning system running smoothly, you should schedule AC service once per year.

Because you use your AC so often in Oakland Park, a great deal of wear and tear is put onto your system. If this isn’t maintained or fixed during an annual AC tune-up, it could cause problems. Something as simple as a dirty air filter could lead to costly repairs and a broken AC system in the middle of summer.

Oakland Park residents can prevent this by scheduling annual AC service appointments. During these appointments, technicians will analyze your AC system for possible problems. Common AC problems found during a tune-up include:

• Frozen evaporator coils
• Clogged drains
• Low refrigerant

Failure to maintain your AC will have these small problems turn into major issues as soon as you begin using your AC system heavily. Prevent these issues and save money on potential repairs by scheduling an AC tune-up.

What Is an AC Tune-Up?

Much like a tune-up for your car, an AC tune-up is meant to keep your AC system running efficiently.

Our technicians check your AC system from top to bottom during a tune-up. With their industry knowledge, our certified technicians will assess your system’s ductwork, fan, condenser, thermostat, wiring harness, and more to ensure that everything is working properly.

Because an AC tune-up is a form of preventative maintenance, scheduling one will lead to many benefits for you and your family, such as improved reliability, better air quality, and reduced repair costs. 

Improved Reliability

In Oakland Park, a home’s AC unit is likely one of the most relied on home appliances. Without annual maintenance, the AC system that you and your family use on a daily basis could quickly become unreliable.

During an AC tune-up, our technicians will resolve any problems your system may have before your unit completely fails. Once all of the problems are fixed, your unit will have improved reliability, a necessity with the Florida heat.

Better Air Quality

In addition to staying cool, you want your home to have safe indoor air quality, especially for your family. Because south Florida deals with high levels of pollen during allergy season, it is important to have an HVAC system that can filter outdoor contaminants.

During a tune-up, you can ask your technician to install one of our HEPA filters and a UV air purification system.

This simple installation will result in better air quality for your home.

Reduced Repair Costs

Along with increasing reliability and air quality, a regular tune-up will help to reduce any repair costs.

AC tune-ups find problems while they are still manageable, and alert you of simple fixes. Without an AC tune-up, these small problems will often go unnoticed for most of the year.

But, whenever the summer heat comes and you turn your AC unit on high, those problems will quickly come to light.

Improve Your Home’s Air Quality Today!

Even though you’ll spend most of the day outside enjoying the many perks of Oakland Park, you must prioritize your home’s air quality. Your children breathe in your home’s air, so it must be clean and free of contaminants, especially if your family is prone to allergies. 

To do so, the professionals at Abraham AC & Heating Services suggest that you regularly maintain your AC system and schedule a yearly AC tune-up each spring. 

With your air quality in the hands of certified professionals, you and your family can rest easy and enjoy the summer.
