When homeowners need their property’s furnace replaced, a Charleston HVAC contractor can add improvements if the customers would like. Examples include:
• Extra ductwork.
• A whole-house humidifier.
• A long-lasting accordion air filter.
Additional Ductwork
If the home has rooms that tend to be chilly on cold days, adding an extra duct and register to each of these locations solves the problem. This issue typically occurs in larger houses with the furnace at one end and inadequate ductwork to the rooms on the other sides of the home. Your family will be pleased with the more consistent heat distribution. If the house has central air conditioning, those distant rooms will be more comfortable in the summer.
Whole-House Humidifier
Forced-air furnaces significantly reduce moisture in the home, resulting in annoying static electricity. Inadequate humidity can cause or worsen dry skin, nasal passages, and eyes.
Although portable humidifiers are available, they only add moisture to a small area. The devices also must be cleaned regularly, which requires dismantling the equipment. Some contain a filter media that gradually begins to crumble. In contrast, a device installed by a Charleston heating and air conditioning contractor provides sufficient moisture to all the rooms with registers.
Accordion Air Filter Compartment
Premium accordion filters fit into a large compartment connected to the furnace. They are more effective than most filters available at various stores and typically only need replacement once a year. More frequent replacement could be necessary if someone in the home smokes or pets shed hair reaching the filter.
