Boosting Comfort and Health With Central Air Conditioning and Additional Equipment

Someone who buys an older home without central air conditioning may want to implement one immediately. If this is the case for you, you will want a heating and cooling contractor known for excellent installation, repair, and maintenance service. Annual maintenance is important, and homeowners expect quick, skilled service if problems ever develop. Air conditioning contractors can also do this work for the home's central heating system.

Boosting Resale Value and Household Satisfaction

In most parts of the United States, residential central air conditioning has become a standard feature. It is nearly always included during new home construction, and a large number of older houses have had the equipment installed at some point. Adding central air boosts the resale value and increases the satisfaction of the household. Everyone feels more comfortable inside when the weather is hot and may especially appreciate the feature while trying to sleep.

Filtration and Air Purification for Allergy Sufferers

In addition, people who are allergic to mold spores and pollen feel better when they breathe air that has been filtered through the HVAC equipment. By purchasing high-quality pleated filters and changing them as recommended, your household can minimize the amounts of these substances getting into the house.

Individuals with severe allergies to those substances benefit from having an HVAC contractor install an air purifier in the system. This also often decreases symptoms for sufferers of asthma and other breathing disorders.

Whole-House Dehumidification

Central air conditioning not only keeps the temperature at an optimum level, but the equipment also reduces humidity in the building. However, on hot steamy days, the moisture reduction may be less than the homeowners would like. An HVAC contractor can install a whole-house dehumidifier if this seems advisable. Portable ones are available, but their reach is limited.

Humidity has a relationship to allergies as well. When moisture levels are too high, people with allergies to mold spores or dust mites find their hay fever worsening. That's because the extra moisture is conducive to the growth of mold colonies as well as the dust mite population. 

Getting Started

With central air and optional devices installed by a qualified HVAC contractor, household residents and their guests feel comfortable during the hot weather and enjoy relief from allergy symptoms. They sleep better and also appreciate cool air throughout the day. Anyone interested in this equipment may begin by contacting a heating and cooling service for quotes.
