Although we live in a warm climate, we definitely do need our heat during a certain stretch of the year. And in order to have our heating systems in good condition and ready to work when we do need them, we need to get routine annual maintenance and make sure to have repairs done promptly when something goes wrong. And those things need to be done by professionals.

The average homeowner is not an HVAC expert. That can make it challenging to figure out whether someone you hire to work on your heating system is really qualified! So how can you be sure to choose a heating contractor that’s not just acceptable, but truly outstanding? Here’s what to look for.

Are UV Air Purifiers Safe?

Monday, February 12th, 2024

It’s a shocking fact: Americans, on average, spend well over 90% of our time indoors. This means we’re constantly breathing indoor air, full of the recirculated germs someone else has sneezed out and the odors from last night’s fried fish or your teenager’s sneakers. Depending on the time of year, it’s not always possible to fling all the windows open and get some fresh air.

That means that your best bet for breathing air that’s free of pathogens and smelly bacteria is an air purifier. Ultraviolet light is an amazing way to purify air and kill all those germs. But are UV air purifiers safe? Here’s what you need to know.
