HVAC systems

It seems these days that we are all trying to do better in a lot of areas.  We want to be healthier, keep things cleaner, be kinder and, especially these days, save money.  Some, if not all, of these areas don’t lend themselves to the saving money part.  It seems you have to spend money to eat healthier and exercise and such.  Even when you are trying to make your home healthier, particularly the air inside your home, its seems it will cost money!  On the surface that is probably true.  But, let’s dig a little deeper.

Good indoor air quality can be achieved with a well maintained high efficiency HVAC system.  That is good for your health.  However, it seems that might not be good for your bank account.  Just like a good high quality HEPA filter in said HVAC system is also good for your health, but costs a little more than the cheap non-HEPA version.  The bottom line is that spending a little more up front can really save you in the long run.  Spending the money to keep your HVAC system in tip top condition and spending the extra on high-quality HEPA filters will save you in so many areas.

First, well maintained HVAC systems run so much more efficiently.  This will lower your energy usage and thus the bill.  Secondly, high-quality HEPA filters add to the efficiency of your system.  Another win.  Next, by using the high-quality HEPA filters not only do you add to the efficiency of your system but you cut way down on the amount of allergens that float around in your indoor air.  This might very well cut down on the need for allergy medications, doctor visits and, when we get right down to it, the need for an over abundance of tissues (those things can be costly).  We haven’t even mentioned the non-monetary benefits such as just breathing cleaner air and feeling better.  And how do you even put a price on that!

Bottom line, yes it does cost money to keep your systems well maintained.  And it costs a little more to use high-quality HEPA filters.  But, in the long run the benefits, both monetary and non-monetary, far outweigh the costs.  Give it some thought : )
