Discover the Different Kinds of Heat Pumps

Avatar for TyesonTyeson
Not all heat pumps are created equal - geothermal and air source heat pumps differ greatly in the way they provide heat to your Boise home or office.Here, you can take a look at some of the ways that geothermal and air source heating systems differ, along with some of their similarities. An air source heat pump works by exchanging hot and cold air in a closed system similar to a refrigerator; air source heat pumps are common fixtures on homes and can often extract useful heat from temperatures as low as five degrees Fahrenheit.With their ubiquity and relatively high level of efficiency compared with electric space heaters comes a low need for maintenance: air source heat pumps can function for ten to twenty years at times with minimal maintenance.It is a good idea, though, to keep an eye on the state of your air source heat pump - a failing heat pump can be a very serious issue in the cold winter months. ...

Tips To Keep Cool During The Hot Idaho Summer

Avatar for TyesonTyeson
Did you know that the majority of AC units in Southern Idaho today have what is known as a “set point” of 98 degrees? This means the unit will run at maximum efficiency right up to an outside temperature of 98°. When the outside temperature is greater than 98° then you can expect a diminishing return on the cooling ability of the unit. Additionally, these units are designed to cool the interior of the home to approximately 25° below the outside temperature. Therefore, if it is 98° outside, you can reasonably expect your AC to be able to cool your home to 73° inside. ... Read More

5 Sourcces of Major Pollutants In Your Home

Coal- It seems unbelievable that coal or charcoal could be a pollutant in the air in your Nampa home, but this is a possibility.Those that grill near their home and leave their door or windows open may get the ashes that come from the charcoal in the home, and it’s possible that the coal ashes will circulate around the home while it’s in the air.Smoke- Whether it’s cigarette smoke or smoke that comes from burning things in the home, smoke can linger in the air and make the air less breathable.If something burns in the house, such as oil or grease when cooking, this smell can stay in the air for a long time, making the air less pleasant when you breathe it in.Aerosols- Many use aerosol sprays for different reasons, mostly for freshening the home. Although you may feel that these products freshen the smell in your home, they can also lead to pollutants in the air, especially certain aerosols that may linger around in the air for hours.Chemical Agents- There are many chemical agents that can be in your air, especially if you use chemicals to clean your home. Not every chemical is made equal, so some chemicals will be more damaging to the air in your home than others.Pollen- Although pollen is something naturally in the air, especially when springtime rolls around, it can be considered a pollutant, especially since many people are allergic to it. ...
