How Geothermal Heat Pumps Can Save You Money

Staying comfortable in Jacksonville’s weather can be difficult, between the chilly winters and hot summers. Geothermal energy can actually perform the duties of both cooling and heating, simply by utilizing the temperature of the earth under our feet!

In this video, you can see how a geothermal heat pump works. Pipes of refrigerant are laid under the ground, where the temperature is constant. At this level beneath the Earth’s surface, the temperature is cooler than the outside air in the summer, and warmer in the winter. A geothermal heat pump uses this principle to keep your home comfortable regardless of the season.

Signs Your Indoor Air Quality is Suffering and Could Benefit from an Air Purifier

Indoor air quality is a measure of the pollutants located in your household air. The lower the concentration of pollutants, the better your indoor air quality (IAQ) is. IAQ isn't something many homeowners think about when they get a cold or when their allergies are acting up. Yet there are times when recurring colds or irritated sinuses can point to poor indoor air quality rather than extra dust outside.

• Sneezing, Coughing, and Respiratory Distress: If you are noticing allergy-like symptoms that seem to persist even when there isn't a lot of dust or pollen outside, then it may be the air inside your home that is the culprit. Regular AC maintenance can clean the dust and foreign particles out of your air ducts, but many homeowners live in areas where outside pollutants are constantly introduced into their homes.

• Excessive Dust and Signs of Mold: Constantly cleaning the surfaces of your home and fighting off mold and mildew in your kitchen and bathroom can be a sign of poor indoor air quality. It's a good idea to seek AC servicing to ensure that your filters are working correctly, but there are times when an air purifier is needed to capture and remove dust and spores from your air.

• Chronic Sickness: A cold that won’t go away or family members who seem to be constantly under the weather may not be suffering from a bug, but instead may be susceptible to the poor quality of air inside your house. An air purifier along with regular AC maintenance can remove contaminants to ensure that you have the best indoor air quality possible in your home.

If you would like to learn more about how an air purifier can help your home, then contact McGowan’s Heating & Air Conditioning at (904) 278-0339 and schedule a consultation. We have a brand new service that can help us diagnose the IAQ of your home, and help you decide what the best option is for you.  Visit our website to learn about our products and services, including AC maintenance and repair.
