What does it take to perk you up in the morning?  A cup of coffee, a jog in the park, fresh squeezed orange juice, smell a fresh-cut bouquet of flowers?  We all have our own means of getting into the flow of the day in Kaufman, Forney, and surrounding communities.

But what about your home air conditioning system.  It knows only ONE way to get back up and running to full capacity, and that’s with a multi- point tune-up and inspection.  Your AC system might very well create oasis like conditions in your home, but it’s still only a machine.  A very complex one, mind you, but a machine nonetheless.

And like all machines, it needs regular maintenance to perform at its best.  Especially when you consider that AC systems have an effective lifespan of 10-15 years.

At Absolute Air, we’re heating and air conditioning pros.  Getting your system back in top working order, and keeping it there, is what we do best.  Here are just some of the ways we go about doing that.

• Clean the outside condenser – We’ll remove leaves, grass, and other piled up debris.
• Clean the coil – System efficiency stems in large part from a clean condenser boil.
• Check the refrigerant level – We’ll top it off as necessary.  If the supply is really low, we’ll inspect for leaks.
• Check the electrical systems – We’ll determine if the compressor is drawing enough electricity; we also check for frayed wiring.
• Lubricate and inspect the bearings for wear.
• Tighten all electrical connections.
• Check all indoor components – These include your filter, thermostat, air handler, and more.

This is just part of the process we employ to help ensure your family’s greater indoor comfort and safety.  To prepare your AC system for another hot Dallas area summer, contact the HVAC professionals at Absolute Air today.

Here’s a pretty scary statistic, but true nonetheless:  the air inside your home, school or office is typically 2-5 times more polluted than the air outside. In fact, indoor air pollution may just be the cause of the colds or allergies that frequent your Kaufman home.

Unfiltered or poorly filtered air can cause or aggravate up to half of all illnesses, especially anything to do with your respiratory system. Changing the filter in your furnace or air conditioner monthly can help alleviate indoor air pollution, but sometimes that’s just not  enough.

Clear the air.

Dust mites, bacteria, mold, pollen, dander and other airborne particles are some of the most common pollutants that fill air inside your home. Installing a whole-house electronic air clean things up, and keep them clean.

The specifics.

An air cleaner works by drawing air through a set of ionized wires or needles that electrically charge the particles in the air. The air then passes by a set of electrically charged metal plates before traveling through your ductwork. This causes the particles to stick to the metal plates, much like static causes clothing to stick together.

This air-cleaning technology is extremely efficient. So efficient, in fact, that instead of having to change or clean your system’s air filter every month, 3-6 months will do the trick.

Take a deep breathe…

…and contact Absolute Air for the right indoor air quality solution for your home and family health needs.  After all, it’s one thing to comfortable indoor temperatures.  It’s quite another to do so without worrying about what’s entering your lungs.

Most people have more questions than answers about carbon monoxide (CO):  what causes, just how serious is the risk, and what’s the most effective means of early detection.

To understand the national scope of CO poisoning, here are some facts and figures from National Fire Protection Agency:

• People with a limited ability to use oxygen are at a greater risk of CO poisoning.  That includes infants, pregnant women, and anyone with a respiratory disorder.
• A person can be poisoned by a small amount of CO over a longer period of time or by a large amount of CO over a shorter amount of time.
• In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 80,100 non-fire calls during which carbon monoxide was detected.  The number of calls increases every year, but that’s likely due to the growing number of home CO detectors.

Carbon monoxide can be caused by any fuel burning device, and not just your home heating system.  One way to minimize the problem is to make sure you never operate such equipment in unvented spaces, as carbon monoxide needs an outlet to escape you home to avoid doing you any harm.

You can’t smell or otherwise detect carbon monoxide on your own.  Which means one of two things can happen should a leak occur.  First, you will start to experience such symptoms as  dizziness, nausea, headache, and shortness of breath.  Or, you can install one or more hard-wired vs. battery-operated CO detectors in your home before this deadly gas has a chance to cause you harm.

The Benefits of Low Level CO Detectors.

Hard-wired, low-level CO detectors are much better suited to ensuring your family’s safety than the battery-operated models available at your local home improvement center.

Retail store model don’t trigger the alarm until CO levels hit 70 parts per million…and by that time, damage can already have occurred.  By contrast, low-level detectors – the kind available at and installed by Absolute Air – trigger at only about 100 parts per million, giving you plenty of time to open windows, evacuate your home, and call your local fire department.

Prevention IS the Cure

Another way Absolute Air can help ensure your family’s greater health and safety is with our multi-point heating system tune-up and inspection, which includes checking for gas and carbon monoxide leaks.  Contact us today to schedule service:  after all, that’s what we’re here for.
