Your HVAC system helps you battle the sweltering Ohio summer heat and humidity and keeps you warm during the cold winter months. Also, let’s not forget the role it plays in improving your indoor air quality. Best of all, certain HVAC add-ons help your system perform its crucial functions even better. Take a look at some of the options below.
Dehumidifiers
While your air conditioner removes some moisture from your air, it won’t always keep up with your home’s humidity levels when they’re high. A whole-home dehumidifier works in conjunction with the air conditioner to keep the humidity in your home within reasonable levels. It reduces the strain on your AC unit, helping the unit function more efficiently.
Air Purifiers
Your regular HVAC air filter does a good job of capturing the dirt and dust in the air. Air purifiers capture smaller and more elusive particles. If you have family members who struggle with allergies or asthma, the advanced filtration that a purifier provides will be hugely beneficial.
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats are packed with features that give you greater control over your home-comfort system. Many models track your habits and provide energy-saving suggestions and adjustments. You can easily manage them using your smartphone. Some even go beyond managing the indoor temperature, letting you also control airflow, ventilation, air quality, and humidity.
Ventilators
In a well-sealed house, the pollutants originating from inside or that the occupants bring inside with them don’t have a way to get out. Ventilators remove stale, polluted indoor air and bring in fresh, clean air. Energy-recovery ventilators even precondition the incoming air using the outgoing air’s thermal energy.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
These alarms warn you of dangerous carbon monoxide levels inside your house. You can avoid such buildups by having your HVAC system receive professional maintenance regularly.
