Breathe Better In Your Home

August 30, 2018
Indoor Air Quality Report

There are over 50 million people in the U.S. who suffer from seasonal allergies. You don’t have to thank us in advance, but our experts have created a list of ways you can reduce the amount of allergens in your home. Learn how you can reduce sneezing, wheezing and coughing and make your home a haven from all those irritants outside!

 

Have Your Air Ducts (Not Ducks) Cleaned

Forced air HVAC systems use duct work to guide heated or cooled air to Before and After Duct Cleaningvarious rooms throughout your home, so, naturally, it makes sense that when you turn your heating or cooling system on, allergens and airborne contaminants are also guided swiftly into your home. Over time, those particles build up inside your air ducts and the cycle repeats itself again and again and again.  You get the picture. So, will duct cleaning help allergies?

Professional duct cleaning services use commercial grade duct cleaning equipment to thoroughly clean and remove the buildup of allergens like dust, debris and other contaminants from inside your air ducts. Sealants can also be used to prevent future buildup inside your air ducts. So, to answer the question, yes, air duct cleaning is the first and biggest solution to breathing better in your home.

 

Get an Indoor Air Quality Audit

An indoor air quality audit is not nearly as scary or painful as other audits. They take the guess work out of choosing the correct HVAC products or services to relieve your allergies and improve the air quality inside your home. How does it work? The air inside your home is collected and analyzed for 30 minutes using a state-of-the-art instrument. From there, a custom report is generated that explains the findings, levels of health concerns and provides recommended solutions that will improve your air quality. This report can help you make informed decisions about the health, comfort and safety of your indoor air.

 

Have a Whole-Home Humidifier Installed

Indoor air that has too much moisture creates a breeding ground for allergens, such as: mildew, mold, dust mites and bacteria, but not enough humidity can dry out and inflame the mucous membrane lining your respiratory tract, which increases your risk of colds, the flu and other infections. Flu viruses survive longer and spread more easily when humidity levels are low. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology recommends keeping indoor humidity below 50%.  A whole-home humidifier with an automatic stat will ensure the humidity levels in your home are automatically adjusted.

 

Vacuum (Even Though You Don’t Want To) With A HEPA Filter

Using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter will reduce dust, pet dander and other allergens. Remember, vacuuming temporarily stirs up dust that takes a couple of hours to settle back down, so your spaces may require an additional cleaning after all is said and done.

 

Don’t Spread Pollen Like A Bee

Buuzzz! During the height of pollen season, be sure to reduce the amount of pollen you’re tracking into your home from your shoes or clothes by either removing your shoes, brushing off your shoes and clothing before entering your home or changing into fresh clothing immediately after getting inside.

 

Keep Pets Groomed

No one likes a stinky pup, right? Well, your air doesn’t like ’em either! Get in the habit of grooming your pet outside your home to cut down on the amount of pet dander in the air. Additionally, wash your pet’s bedding regularly to but down on dander and allergens.

 

No One Likes Moldy Cheese…Or Bathrooms

To ensure proper cleanliness and to reduce mold growth in your home, scrub bathrooms, basements and other tiled areas with impactful cleansers to cut down on the potential for mold to grow.

 

You Can Trust Us

For the 50 million seasonal allergy sufferers in the U.S., we hope you’ve found these tips helpful. Please be sure to call us with any questions you have about the services and methods that can help you breathe better in your home.

I requested to have quote to install a EV charger in our garage. I was able to schedule one in a week and Adam showed up at the door right on time to inspect how much would that cost. He was very professional and explained very clearly how the technician will work on the installation. He also made the process easy by sending me two different options via email for me to choose which one I’d like to go with. After accepting one of the options someone called and scheduled the installation. Erich came out and installed everything professionally. Price was reasonable and we could not be happier with how easy the process went.

**EDITED REVIEW**Noone can really expect perfection out of a business, especially when that company is large and well known. I experienced a few issues throughout my process, but to be fair - my situation was highly unique and I had an extremely firm and inflexible expectation.Capital quickly jumped into action and corrected the situation. By quickly, I mean - within 45 minutes.Sure, perfection is the goal. But what really matters is how a company responds when things aren't perfect (because they won't always be). Capital stands by their service and products, and I'm appreciative of their actions to get us to the point of the project's end goal//my vision.Upgraded from 1 to 5 stars. Unmatched support. Thank you!!

Have always had a positive experience with Capital Heating & Cooling! They're prompt, great communication before, during and after and upfront on needs for our HVAC needs. We had Kyle out, who did a great job letting us know of any issues, solutions and did the repair.

This post is about the excellent customer service, namely from Tyler. I heard their commercials on the radio and wanted to give them a call. It's been great customer service since day 1. I've had all my questions answered to my satisfaction. I'm looking forward to seeing the work they do. I have great confidence so far just based on my customer service experience.

I scheduled an appointment to fix a dryer outlet that wasn't providing enough voltage to heat a brand new dryer. Jacob discovered that the machine hadn't been connected properly and that there were no electrical issues. Despite spending 30 minutes checking and double-checking for any issues, I was not charged. That doesn't happen very often anymore. I will definitely use Capital Heating in the future and recommend you to friends and neighbors. Thank you!

Hired Capital Heating & Cooling do an annual A/C check for me. Communication regarding appointment, actual service technician and his arrival time were accurate and convenient. Service tech Kyle was very professional and respectful of my house (used shoe covers each time in & out of the house). After service was performed, he walked me through the condition of my AC and gave me several recommendations, but I didn’t feel pressured to purchase any on the spot. Took 1 star off because the solicitation for feedback was a little overboard, as I received several messages by text and email.
