How demanding is your building?


Manufacturers are building units now that use R-410A, the environmentally friendlier refrigerant that is replacing R-22. The new units eliminate concerns over future availability of R-22 and don’t contain chlorine that can deplete the earth’s ozone layer.

Clean to reduce airborne particles

Frequent cleaning is vital to improving indoor air quality by reducing concentrations of dust particles. Yet it is the microscopic particles—such as pollen, dust mites, bacteria and mold spores—that can cause even more problems by getting into the lungs and then the bloodstream.

  • Clean and dust on a regular basis to reduce visible dust particles.
  • Install high-efficiency MERV 11 air filters and clean or replace regularly to reduce smaller, respirable contaminants.
  • Control the mold and bacteria on indoor coils by adding germicidal UVC lamps, which also protects the efficiency of HVAC systems.
