As a building owner, one of your biggest responsibilities is keeping your HVAC system safe and reliable, and a big part of that is maintaining healthy indoor air quality. Good indoor air helps keep contaminants at bay, reducing allergy flare-ups or more serious problems like asthma attacks.
Whether you manage an apartment building or lease an office space, here are a few ways Weiss-Johnson’s residential and commercial HVAC in Edmonton can help keep your tenants’ indoor air fresh, comfortable, and breathable!
Stay on Top of Annual Furnace and AC Maintenance
One of the most important ways to keep your building’s air quality up to snuff is to schedule regular maintenance for your heating and cooling systems.
Furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps that are properly serviced and maintained throughout the year enjoy a much longer lifespan, and you reduce the risk of potential problems going undetected.
Maintenance tasks like regularly changing the air filter prevent irritants such as pollen, hair, pet dander, and dust from building up and circulating in the air. Professional technicians will also catch seemingly invisible issues like carbon monoxide leaks from your furnace, which can be toxic to respiratory health.
How Air Conditioners Can Improve Residential Indoor Air
Have you been debating installing an air conditioner in your rental building? Alberta building owners haven’t always considered AC an essential utility in rentals due to our colder climate, but in recent years, our hot summers have made it a highly sought-after feature for renters.
ACs contribute to better air quality by regulating temperature and humidity and filtering contaminants. Giving your tenants the option to use AC during Edmonton’s hottest season can greatly improve their comfort.
Have to stick to a budget? Our team at Weiss-Johnson can recommend a quality unit for your building that doesn’t break the bank.
Schedule Regular Duct Cleaning
Another way to keep contaminants out of your building’s indoor air is to have your ducting system cleaned. We usually recommend getting ducts cleaned every 2 to 3 years, which our team at Weiss-Johnson can provide with the HyperVac H2 Duct Truck. This state-of-the-art truck provides a deep clean that you just can’t get with a portable vacuum.
Not only will this keep your air fresh and clean, but duct cleaning also helps extend your HVAC’s lifespan and overall efficiency by not straining a clogged-up system. This also prevents your energy costs from spiking unnecessarily.
Install an MUA System
A Make-Up Air System (or MUA) is a great air-quality booster for residential and commercial lease buildings. This type of HVAC unit is designed to supplement the indoor air that gets removed by process exhaust fans.
MUA’s remove contaminants, help balance temperature and air pressure, and keep your building in compliance with local regulations. This type of HVAC system is great for local Edmonton restaurants, offices, and other highly populated buildings where quality air is essential to health and safety.
