Your air conditioner (AC) can do several things––keep your Florida home’s indoor air cooler than outdoor temperatures, help to keep indoor airborne allergens at bay, and help keep your home’s humidity low. But one thing it can’t do is kill mold.
You hear it all the time—buy energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment to lower your Florida utility bills! But what about creating an energy efficient home?
Ductless units can be up to 30 percent less expensive to cool and 60 percent less to heat than traditional systems, according to ENERGY STAR®
Did you know “evaporative cooling” is an old form of air conditioning that historians trace back to ancient Egypt and Persia? The process involves leaving out water, snow, or ice and letting it evaporate to cool an indoor area.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), high-efficiency air conditioners can reduce energy usage by 20 to 50 percent per year.
Hot days feel much less bearable when accompanied by humidity. That’s because increased humidity makes it harder for your sweat to evaporate. Our staff at Ferrara’s Air, Inc. reminds our neighbors to stay safe this summer. Monitor weather advisories and drink plenty of water, and pay attention to how you feel when it’s hot out.
What size is your commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system? And, more importantly, is it the right size for your Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, and Lighthouse Point building?
It’s summertime in Florida. The team at Ferrara’s Air Inc hopes you find time to relax with friends and family, taking in the beautiful sunny days. On days when it gets a bit too sunny, you can jump in a pool or bask in the cool breeze your air conditioner provides.
Indoor humidity is a drag. It makes relaxing extremely difficult—after all, you are sweating inside your home! It can affect your health, triggering asthma attacks and flaring allergies. It tends to put everyone in a sluggish mood—even the goldfish. Let’s zap that excess moisture right out of the room, and look at ways to manage your home’s relative indoor humidity.
