Being that you may spend up to 90% of your time indoors, exposure to indoor air pollution can have serious consequences. We help keep pollutants down to a minimum by being as thorough as possible and providing the best solutions on the market. The Med Air Pro team can therefore address causes of indoor air pollution such as:
- Volatile compounds – Volatile organic compounds include chemicals found in many types of home products, which can cause anything from nose and throat irritation to breathing problems, nervous system damage, and even cancer.
- Mold – Colonies of mold can exacerbate allergies and trigger respiratory illnesses. We can take steps to reduce mold spores that can also cause symptoms.
- Carbon monoxide – A gas released by burning oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels that you can’t see or smell, but can cause death in high concentrations.
- Housekeeping practices – Many consumer cleaning products have harsh chemicals that can get into the air. Pet dander, dust mites, and other pollutants can build up without proper housekeeping.
- Personal habits – Smoking in your home can cause serious indoor air pollution. Burning paraffin candles and incense can as well.
- Lack of ventilation – Making a building airtight improves energy efficiency by eliminating drafts but can lead to higher levels of indoor air pollution.
- Dirty ductwork and filters – Contaminants in your ducts and that clog up air filters can circulate throughout the system and your home.
Components of an AC System
AC systems are complex and require professional installation. Key components include:
- Ductwork: Distributes air to various rooms.
- Compressors: Process refrigerant into high-pressure gas for cooling.
- Filters: Remove dust and contaminants from the air.
- Motors: Blower motors push air through ducts and vents.
- Air Handlers: Circulate cooled air evenly indoors.
- Evaporator Coils: Extract heat from refrigerant to cool the air.
Tips for Lowering Your Cooling Costs
- Programmable Thermostat: Automatically adjusts temperatures to save energy.
- Attic Insulation: Prevents heat loss and retains cool air.
- Sealing Ducts: Stops energy waste from leaks.
- Energy-Efficient Window Coverings: Reduce air escape through glass.
- ENERGY STAR Equipment: Uses less energy and lowers costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common issues that indicate the need for air conditioning repair include refrigerant leaks, corrosion of wires and electronic components, water leaks, and dirty filters. These problems can cause issues like intermittent functioning, temperature fluctuations, a unit that refuses to turn on, an unresponsive thermostat, a system that takes a long time to heat or cool your home, and high energy bills. Most of these problems are preventable with routine maintenance and repair.
If your system runs but doesn't heat or cool well. You notice rattling, grinding or loud humming noises, air ducts and vents are noticeably dirty, your unit emits an odor, you see leaks or water puddles near the unit, or you notice a change in airflow or indoor humidity. These are all signs that you should call for air conditioner repair.
In general, an HVAC system should last between 15 and 25 years. However, it depends on the type of system you have and its maintenance history. A heating and air conditioning system that gets annual inspections and regular filter replacements will have less wear and tear on the components, which means it should last longer. How often the system runs also impacts its lifespan. For instance, if you like to keep it cold in your home during the summer with the AC running most of the time, the unit will wear out faster than if you set the thermostat several degrees warmer. Regular maintenance and inspections, along with performing AC repair when necessary, will keep your unit functioning at peak efficiency until it's time to replace it.
Common signs your heating system needs to be inspected include:
- Lasting or strange smells - When using your furnace for the first time during the year, there may be a slight smell. However, you may have a furnace issue if the scent does not go away or if an odd odor appears suddenly.
- Difficulty starting the unit or unit randomly turning off - A furnace that struggles to turn on or keep running needs attention.
- Non-blue pilot light and/or carbon monoxide detector goes off - A yellow flame can indicate that the gas isn’t getting burned off completely and producing carbon monoxide in the process. If a carbon monoxide detector shows levels of CO in your home, contact Bill Howe for professional heating and air conditioning repair.
- Low or no heat - If the system isn't heating your home quickly or at all, it's a sign that your furnace needs attention.
- Humidity - If you notice the humidity levels in your home are higher than usual or have moisture around windows or on surfaces, this is a sign that your system is not performing properly.
- Rising energy bill - A large increase in your energy bill can also mean your heater is not functioning properly.
- Furnace unusually noisy - If you hear persistent humming, rattling or buzzing noises coming from your furnace then it is time to get it repaired or replaced.
- Increased dust levels - Your HVAC system may need a cleaning or air filter replacement if you notice more dust or soot around the house while it is running.
Your furnace utilizes fuel (such as natural gas, propane, or oil) to generate heat, which is then circulated throughout your home by a blower. This hot air travels through pipes (ducts) located within floors and walls, ensuring even distribution. Before being reheated and recirculated, the cool air is filtered upon its return. This entire process is orchestrated by your thermostat, which communicates electrical signals to your furnace.
