Living in northern Illinois, you never thought you would need a central air system. Now one of your children has developed asthma, however, and the doctor says air conditioning would be a good idea. Your home is located near a busy highway that has a lot of truck traffic, and that vehicle exhaust can’t be good for your youngster. Keeping the windows closed during the summertime will be a big change, but cool air blowing through the vents will be welcome. Because it’s probably time to have your furnace replaced as well and because you’re concerned about the environment, you’re thinking that a Geothermal Systems heating and air conditioning system might be best.
It’s unclear whether air pollution causes asthma, but research indicates that it can cause symptoms in people who already have the condition, and can make this health problem worse. When moving isn’t an option, keeping the windows closed and using an air conditioner can help. This strategy is useful not only for people who are sensitive to vehicle exhaust, but who are allergic to pollen from trees or weeds, or are sensitive to dust.
Having a Geothermal Systems heating and air conditioning system installed by a company such as Business Name is an environmentally friendly decision. This system is energy efficient and it also provides heat to your water heater. It uses natural heat from the earth for the furnace and water heater, and transfers heat out during the air conditioning process.
Since you’re concerned about indoor air quality, you might want to consider having the technicians install additional devices that keep the air as clean as possible for your youngster with asthma and for your entire family. Whole-house humidifiers are excellent features to have during cold Chicago-area winters, when indoor air tends to become noticeably dry. The added humidity is helpful not only for easier breathing but for relieving dry skin and the effects of static electricity. Air cleaners and high-efficiency air filtration systems also are available.
Once your new heating and cooling system is installed, you’ll feel more satisfied with your home. You’ll know that you’ve done the best thing for the health of your family members and have also accomplished something good for the environment.
