HVAC Accessories

While a basic HVAC system includes only a heater and air conditioner, there are several accessories available to improve heating, cooling, and air quality in your space. Check out this article to discover how these accessories could increase your comfort and property value.

 

At its most basic, your HVAC system provides heated and cooled air for your home or business. However, heating and cooling is not the end-all of what your HVAC system can do for you. HVAC accessories are available to give you even better control over the quality of your indoor air and boost the performance of your heating and cooling system for even greater benefits and savings. Your HVAC service is here to work with you to build the perfect system tailored to your exact needs.

Filtration Systems

Your HVAC system incorporates a basic air filter as part of its air return system. This filter is designed to screen out particles from incoming air to reduce dirt and dust buildup inside your heating and cooling system, as well as your central ductwork and your home. However, basic air filters are limited in the amount and type of particles they can screen out—using a high-efficiency filter can improve cleanliness and air quality, but it can also affect airflow through your system, due to smaller filter pores. Additional filtration systems, however, can boost HVAC performance and improve air quality to deliver the cleaner, healthier air you want. These filters can be integrated right into your existing HVAC system to trap additional particles, reducing the amount of dirt, dust, that makes it into your HVAC appliances, ducts, and the air you breathe.

Moisture Control Systems

Humidity plays an important role in the quality of your indoor air. Air that contains more moisture can hold more heat, which can be detrimental during the summer, but beneficial during the winter. Furthermore, too much or too little moisture can cause deterioration of finishes and materials in your home or office, as well as affect personal comfort and health. Adding a humidifier or dehumidifier to your HVAC system allows you to exert improved control over the humidity in your property, boosting the effectiveness of your HVAC system by helping interior spaces to feel warmer or cooler, depending on your needs. Introducing additional humidity to dry air can improve respiratory conditions and relieve itchy, dry skin, while controlling excess humidity will prevent mold and mildew growth that can affect health and damage property.
