ENERGY STAR is a program that was created by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help businesses and individuals make energy efficient purchases. The ENERGY STAR label, a small blue and white logo, is put only on items that meet superior energy efficiency standards. For more information about the Energy Star program, please view their website at www.energystar.gov. Source: https://www.budsusa.com/faq ### Why Should I Get My Ducts Cleaned? Many notice an immediate improvement of their system functionality after getting their air ducts cleaned. Homeowners report their systems using less air in the summer and less heat in the winter, all because the air is constant. Air ducts, if not cleaned, house mold and mildew, polluting all the air in your home. To save money and protect your family, read more about cleaning and schedule an appointment to have you air ducts cleaned today! Call us at 757-890-2600! Source: https://www.budsusa.com/faq ### What Causes Indoor Air Pollution? Many of the everyday household items around your home contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, and upholstery consistently emit gas or fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include, but are not limited to, cleaning agents, paints, candles and personal care products. Also, newer homes that are tightly sealed for energy efficiency tend to limit air circulation, which can contribute to a buildup of contaminants. Likewise, things like weather stripping and storm doors keep stale air in and fresh air out. Source: https://www.budsusa.com/faq ### When Is It A Good Time To Replace My System? When the cost of repairs approaches 50% of the value of your heating or cooling system, it's generally a good time to think about replacing your system. Even if needed repair costs aren't quite as daunting as 50%, you might want to replace your system if it's more than 12 years old or you've had a history of problems with it. Source: https://www.budsusa.com/faq ### What Does HVAC Stand For? Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning. Source: https://www.budsusa.com/faq ### My New System Is Installed & Running Well. Is There Anything I Have To Do To Maintain My New System? As long as you don't run into any issues, your air filter is the only thing you need to keep a constant eye on. Checking your filter at least once a month and replacing when it becomes dirty is a necessary action to keep your system running efficiently. As for everything else, our certified technicians can check your filter and system components during routine maintenance visits. Most warranties also require annual maintenance by a certified technician. A warranty can be voided if the system is not serviced by a certified contractor or neglecting maintenance requirements. Source: https://www.budsusa.com/faq ### What Can I Do To Prevent Indoor Air Pollutants? 1. Store household cleaners, paint solvents and chemical products in tightly sealed containers. If possible, keep them in your garage or outside. 2. Clean and vacuum at least once a week. 3. Regularly wash bed linens and stuffed toys. 4. Keep windows closed when pollen, pollution and humidity levels are high. 5. Have your home system tested for dust, pollen, chemicals, and/or other pollutants. 6. Make sure your home is properly ventilated. 7. Keep humidity levels within a healthy, comfortable range to prevent growth of mold and mildew (25% - 55%). 8. Avoid using scented deodorizers and odor-masking air fresheners, which may have toxic chemicals. 9. Choose furnishings that emit the smallest possible amount of chemical vapors. 10. Do not allow smoking inside your home and make sure all gas appliances are properly ventilated. Source: https://www.budsusa.com/faq ### Do You Offer Any Tax Deductions? Yes!
