Raise Your IAQ And Breathe Easier!

Spring is a beautiful time of year in Vancouver, but it can also bring changes in temperature and weather patterns that can put a strain on your HVAC system. That’s why it’s important to perform some routine maintenance on your heating and cooling system to ensure it’s running efficiently and effectively.

First and foremost, it’s important to change your air filters regularly. Dirty filters can cause your HVAC system to work harder, which can result in higher energy bills and a shorter lifespan for your system. During the spring, it’s especially important to change your filters as they can accumulate pollen and other allergens that can negatively impact your indoor air quality.

Seasonal allergies and dust can affect us while we’re indoors! Regarding Indoor Air Quality, Gandy Installation has many solutions for you — from humidifiers, HEPA filters, UV lights, and the PureAir Filtration system (with a MERV 16 filter, UV light and catalyst). This range of filters removes from 85 to 95% of fine particles. As the “Gold Standard” in Air Quality products, the PureAir system removes 90% of bioaerosols (MERSA, cold, and flu) down to 0.01 microns. A conversation with their professionals can help you build a clean air solution for your home that suits your budget, lifestyle and health concerns.

It’s important to have your system professionally serviced on a regular basis. Gandy’s trained technicians can identify any potential issues before they become major problems and help ensure that your system is running at peak efficiency. Regular maintenance can also help extend the lifespan of your HVAC system, which can save you money in the long run.

Spring maintenance for your HVAC system is an important task that can help keep your system running smoothly and efficiently throughout the year. By performing some simple tasks and working with Gandy’s professional technicians, you can ensure that your home stays comfortable and your energy bills stay low.
