Thanks to the HVAC system, we can go to sleep and wake up each day to perfectly controlled temperatures. The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system, helps regulate the indoor temperatures, making the interiors comfortable at all times.

Therefore, whether it’s chilly winters or blistering summers, HVAC systems ensure that the extreme temperatures outside won’t affect the overall comfort inside.But having said that, this type of technology has its faults too. The HVAC system circulates conditioned air, so if there are any contaminates in the air, the HVAC system will keep circulating the ‘Bad Air’across your living space.

So, do we stop using the HVAC system?! No. Not really! But regularly cleaning, repairing and maintaining the system and ducts can help reduce potential problems, as well as, health hazards and improve overall air quality in the property. Here are the top four reasons why air ducts should be inspected and serviced regularly

• Improves Air Quality – Mold, mildew, fungus, and bacteria – a range of allergens breed in the dark and damp air ducts. Cleaned air ducts will keep infections away, while, improve the air quality manifold. Needless to say, improved air quality is healthier for your family.
• Improves Air Circulation – Damaged air ducts and accumulation of dust reduces the amount of air circulated within the HVAC system. Regular cleaning and occasional changing of the furnace filters can help you avoid any damage.
• Cuts Energy Costs–A new HVAC system will undoubtedly operate at its peak performance.Likewise, a well maintained system will keep away all impairs and blockages to deliver ideal results. Optimal performance certainly shows up in reduced utility bills.
• Enhances the life of the equipment–All types of equipment undergo depreciation over the years. A fully revamped and well maintained system not just enhances the life of the equipment, but will also ensure that you get the best results – both in terms of performance and savings.

Attic Radiant Barriers are installed in buildings, primarily homes and offices, in orderto bring down the heat gain during summers. Proper radiant barrier installation is key in bringing down the overall utility costs of the building. Attic Radiant Barriers are found to be most effective in areas where temperatures tend to go to extremes. Attic Radiant Barriers help increase the effectiveness of your air conditioningunit, by bringing down energy consumption and saving precious money for other expenses.

Attic Radiant Barriers comprise of materials such as foil that greatly reflect the radiant heat. They prevent the sun rays from seeping in through the roof to the attic area, thus preventing it from heating. The radiant barriers also help the attic floor and the cooling ducts to reduce the heat gain by reflecting it back.

Installation tips for maximizing your radiant barriers effectiveness

• It is vital to ensure that your reflective barrier has sufficient open space in front of it, so air can flow smoothly and heat can be easily reflected.
• A radiant barrier must be designed in such a way that there is minimum dust accumulation. Reflective surfaces become less effective when dust collects on them.
• A radiant barrier performs best when it has been placed perpendicular to the source of radiant energy or the direction from which the energy strikes the barrier.
• Foil radiant barriers tend to accumulate dust and trap moisture between the floor and the surface. It is essential leave some space between the foil and the floor to avoid this problem.

The effectiveness of your Attic Radiant Barrier will depend on the quality of the installation. A properly installed Attic Radiant Barrier not only saves electricity, but it also keeps the building more comfortable for longer periods of time.
