If you own a home, these are some of the things that you should be doing.
Special to the Arizona Daily Star At last week’s SAHBA Home Show, I presented “The Top 10 Things Homeowners Do Wrong.” If you missed the show or want to refresh your memory, here’s a summary of the presentation. Hopefully, there will be something here that you can use to save you some time and money.
2. Homeowners don’t replace their air filters. I know you've heard this over and over, but it's true. Most air filters should be replaced once a month. Clogged, overused filters leave the air dirtier and make your air conditioner work harder, even wearing out the overall lifespan. I recommend investing in pleated paper filters mounted in a cardboard frame . Change them out every time you pay your mortgage.
HASSAR recommends Finish 3-in-1 Tabs. The cleanest dishes come when powdered detergent is used along with hot water and the sanitization settings on the dishwasher. Make sure your detergent door is in good working order to guarantee that the detergent is released at the proper time. It's ironic that the more you vacuum, the dirtier your indoor air probably is, especially when you know many carpet manufacturers recommend daily vacuuming. The best solution for this source of indoor air pollution is to invest in a well-sealed HEPA filter vacuum.
This thorough cleaning and sealing of your return air, evaporative coils, air handler cabinet and supply registers should take two technicians at least half a day on an average-size home with one air conditioning system. Hence, the cost is generally twice what you see advertised by the discount duct cleaning"specialists." However, when done correctly, this service only needs to be done every five to seven years.
Sometimes, especially for experts, buying the right tool for the job is not cost-effective. For some projects, rental equipment is a better investment. Do a cost comparison between a particular piece of equipment against how much it would cost to rent it for six months.
