Ambient Comfort Tips: The Proper Way to Use an Air Purifier

Monday, September 23rd, 2024

Last week we had a discussion about SEER2 ratings and how to choose a more efficient air conditioner. As the seasons change, our customers are worried less about the SEER2 ratings of their AC units and more about the comfort of their homes when they close windows and run their heating units.

This season can be riddled with contaminants, from wildfire smoke to viruses as our immune systems are shocked from the cold. Thankfully, when you’ve got a UV air purifier in your home and proper indoor air quality services in Cumberland County, you’re set up for success.

But what if we told you that there’s more to it than just setting up your air purifier or filtration system? Homeowners in Mullica Hill, South Harrison Township, and Elk might want to read about the correct way to live with an air purifier so they can maximize the benefits of its cleaning technology.

How to Tell If Your Air Quality System Is Working

Thursday, April 4th, 2024

Air quality systems are very different from the rest of your HVAC system. With a heater, for example, it is quite obvious when it’s malfunctioning or running correctly. Your chattering teeth will clue you into the fact that your heating system isn’t working. Likewise, when it’s warm and cozy on a chilly night, you’ll be confident knowing that it’s working exactly as it should.

But an air quality system like an air purifier is a bit less obvious when it comes to seeing if it’s working as intended. Sure, you can call us for indoor air quality services in Buena Vista, NJ, but how do you know that you need them? What are the signs that your air filters or air purification systems are working properly?

Now you’re asking the right questions! Keep reading to learn how you might tell if your air quality system is working correctly.

Early Prep for Allergy Season

Monday, January 30th, 2023

Allergies can get pretty bad in Longport, Margate City, and Somers Point. But allergies can also spring up incredibly fast, right after the last snow has melted, we might get inundated with large amounts of pollen. Nature is resilient, and those plants and trees are just waiting for the opportunity to send some pollen into the air.

For many, allergies can be downright debilitating. They can clog up our sinuses, be painful to our throats and noses, and they can even cause disruptions in our sleep schedules. The effects of these problems can be anywhere from a nuisance to life-altering in some cases, which is why we’re big proponents of systems that protect indoor air quality in Atlantic County.

Let’s talk about a few ways to protect your home from allergies this spring season, before it’s here in full swing.

How Humid Should My Home Be?

Monday, January 16th, 2023

Have you ever heard the expression “every home is different?” It’s true, every single home is going to be designed and put together differently depending on the people who live in it. Your cousin’s home probably looks at least a little different from your best friend’s home, and that’s one of the fun parts about being a homeowner. Your home gets to be the way you want it, and nobody can tell you otherwise.

When it comes to comfort, this is going to remain true. Every home is going to have its own comfort preferences. Homeowners throughout Mount Holly, Lumberton, and Evesham are going to live differently and with different comfort preferences. But what if we told you that there is such a thing as having extreme comfort preferences that could damage your home, your health, and your energy efficiency? We’d argue that humidity levels need to be normalized when it comes to indoor air quality in Burlington County. And here’s why.

5 Spring Cleaning Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality

Monday, April 25th, 2022

Springtime is a time when we start to think deeply about our indoor air quality. The level of contaminants in your home is going to directly impact how comfortable you are, and while temperatures are warming up, we have an opportunity to open the windows and vent things out a little bit. However, just opening a window isn’t really going to cut it this year.

Homes are built to be astoundingly airtight, which means that just opening one or a few of the windows in your home isn’t going to do a very good job of freshening the air. Homeowners in Stone Harbor, Avalon, and Ocean City understand this very well. You might need the help of an air purifier in Cape May County so that you can eliminate odors, and harmful contaminants, and keep your home clean.

Combine your air purifier with these few tips and your home will become a sanctuary!

Ambient Comfort’s Guide to Combatting Allergy Season

Monday, March 28th, 2022

Allergies are a tough concept to cover. People who suffer from allergies can feel marginalized since there are many people who don’t feel the effects of pollen and allergens in the air. And, to make things even harder for people who deal with allergies in the spring, it’s an unavoidable part of the year that you can’t really get around. Every spring, the snow melts, and the plants release their pollen to reproduce. This is just the way things go.

However, while you can’t stop allergy season outdoors, you can absolutely stop it inside. For everyone suffering this spring, we get it. This blog post is dedicated to homeowners in Northfield, Folsom, Hammonton, and anyone in Atlantic County who wants to get a head start on combatting allergies this spring.

Naturally, we think it’s the perfect time to discuss the installation of an air purifier in Atlantic County. This system can and will help you fight allergies this season.

5 Benefits From a Home Humidifier

Monday, January 17th, 2022

Humidifiers are amazing systems. When we started to realize that dry air was becoming a problem in our homes, boiling a pot of water or purchasing a small, portable humidifier just wasn’t enough. Manufacturers started creating groundbreaking systems known as whole-home humidifiers that could actually add humidity to the entire space of a home. This made the process more effective and these systems were also more energy-efficient since they could distribute humidity better and utilized a home’s HVAC system.

However, we’re not in the business of convincing homeowners in Wenonah, Glassboro, or Swedesboro about purchasing humidifiers. Your home is your home, and we believe everyone should choose how they treat the air in their homes. Instead, we’d like to talk about how you might benefit from a home humidifier in Gloucester County, and why humidification technology could be a huge boon for your house.
