How do I mount a HVAC heat pump outdoors?
Because each Florida hurricane season is so unpredictable, it is critical to choose the right foundation for your HVAC system's heat pump. Although pavers or bricks might look appealing, they are insufficient for this task. Instead, choose a hurricane pad.
It is purposefully designed to withstand wind and rain during hurricanes, offering maximum stability resilience in the face harsh weather. This helps minimize movement which would disrupt system performance.
Should I buy a high quality air filter?
Many people wonder if a more expensive air filter will be worth the money. Remember that with air filters, you are investing in both cleaner air and higher HVAC system efficiency - which saves you money in the long run.
In priority order, here are the things to consider if you want to improve indoor air quality:
- Airflow
- Filtration level
- Price
You have to find the right balance, based on your health and the health of your family. Higher-rated filters have better dust and allergen capture but at what cost?
That’s why we recommend a MERV rating of 8-10 for optimal performance in your home or business. And don't forget to change your air filter every 1-3 months, based on it's published replacement period.
