The problem with winter isn’t necessarily the temperature outside. The fact that we stay inside largely contributes to the spread of cold and flu. Your home is even more of a closed circuit in the winter than it is in warmer seasons. Your windows stay shut and the front door is open just long enough for you to run in and barricade yourself against the chill. Germs and allergens alike are circulated endlessly making everyone an easy target for a cold.
Here are a few things you can do to help deter catching a cold:
Invest in an air cleaner or purifier – Probably your best ally in the fight against airborne sickness. Air cleaners and purifiers single out undesirable particles and allergens to greatly improve your indoor air quality.
Get your ducts in a row – Air ducts are a favorite hiding space for germs and allergens. Getting them cleaned will prevent “infected” air from being circulated as much.
Keep up with regular heater maintenance – The dust and gunk that accrues on your heater when not in use can aggravate your already sensitive allergies and hinder recovery time. Regular maintenance will assure that your system is working properly and that all of that accumulation is long gone before you have to start it up.
Disinfect – This may not be strictly HVAC related but it’s still as important as ever. It’s nigh impossible to keep from spreading germs when you are constantly coughing and sneezing and touching surfaces in your house or workplace (Why are you at work? Go home and rest!)
Cold season really is a miserable time of year but we hope that these tips can help make it manageable.

[contact-form-7 id="2207" title="Sidebar Form"]They were on time and came after business hours the next day I called. The service was very good. The only thing is the fix rate to come over after business hours is rather expensive but sometimes beggars can’t be choosers and I’m glad someone is willing to come after hours here at the Lake when every company is booked up for days. Overall very satisfied. This is the second time I used their services and they have been very competent so far.
What a great company. Bobby and crew absolutely do a great job for my clients! On the electrical side of their business. These guys are on time available, communicate, and can handle any job I can through at them. See the attached in progress pictures of a current job. I look forward to sharing the finished picture in a few weeks.
A+ job guys
Reading reviews for a business is an important factor in choosing who to use and I HIGHLY recommend Superior! From beginning to end this was a great experience. Starting with prompt responses, same day service, timely arrival, thoroughness, knowledgeable, and personable. Brandon was a joy and provided peace of mind in having resolved our issue. Great people and great service!
