Always change your 1 inch thick pleated filters every 60 to 90 days. If you have pets you may want to change it more often. And never burn high soot candles indoors because those pleated filter will get stopped up quicker than you think.

Part 2 of 4 What Causes Condensation in Crawl Space? In particular, venting causes crawl space condensation. In this case, the open crawl space vents let outside air into your crawl space. As a result, moisture is created when the indoor air combines with the outdoor air.... For example, if your crawl space is 65F and the outside air is 95F (with a relative humidity of 70%), there’s a temperature difference of 30F. For every degree the air’s cooled, the relative humidity goes up by 2.2%. So, when the different temperature airs combine, the relative humidity will increase by 66%. If you add the 66% of newly created humidity to the 70% of the 95F air, there will be a relative humidity in your crawl space of 136%. The air can only hold moisture up to 100%, so that humidity will be given up as condensation. Specifically, wall vented crawl spaces contain liquid water, moisture vapor, and fungal spores.

Part 1 of 4 Condensation in Crawl Space: Problem Signs Condensation in a crawl space is a sign that you have a moisture problem. In general, condensation forms when the relative humidity in your crawl space reaches 100%. In other words, this is the point when the air can’t hold moisture any longer.... Condensation in crawl space can then lead to a number of problems, such as mold and mildew growth. Furthermore, the unhealthy air circulating through your home can cause health problems for your family. Nevertheless, there are proper ways to eliminate the issue altogether.

Remember that if you have a standard pleated filter it should be changed every 60 to 90 days. If you are burning candles in your house STOP! Many of the top brands of candles can produce high soot and cut the filter life drastically and be a cause of issues down the road. Try essential oils for better indoor air fragrances in you home.

It's that time of year to schedule maintenance on your air conditioning. Remember the best temperatures are when it's above 70 degrees inside and outside your house to read refrigerant temperature and pressure.

To all of those customers that have already called and scheduled your yearly Heating and Cooling inspections.

Some people go through this season not watching out for when to change their filter(s). If you have a relatively cheap pleated in filter in your system then it should be changed every 60 to 90 days. Check your filter because it's the #1 cause of system failures or adding to energy cost. If in doubt change the filter.
