In the Greensboro area, Triad Sheet Metal is the company you can trust with your home comfort needs. While we are concerned with maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home, we also take a comprehensive view of your home’s atmosphere. No matter what the thermostat says, if the air in your home is not clean, your home will not be comfortable.

<h2>Everyday Irritants</h2>
Things like dander, hair, and pollen are impurities that every homeowner must deal with. These irritants make up most of the dust that you can see floating in the air on a sunny day. It is important to remember that if it is in your home air supply, you are breathing it in. For people with allergies or asthma, ingesting pollutants can mean chronic cold symptoms and breathing problems. Regular cleaning such as dusting, sweeping, and vacuuming can remove a good deal of these irritants from your home.

<h2>Microscopic Pollutants</h2>
Some of the most troubling pollutants in your home air are invisible to the naked eye. Mold spores, viruses, and bacteria can be airborne, floating in humid areas and passing illnesses from person to person. Common household cleaning and beauty products produce volatile organic compounds that can be seen at a molecular level. These chemicals can create unpleasant odors as well as cause headaches and fatigue in higher concentrations.

<h2>Professional Solutions</h2>
Using exhaust fans and improving your home ventilation are some options to help flush out microscopic impurities. However, for cleaner air, you will want to consider some professional solutions. The experts at Triad Sheet Metal can install a number of different devices to improve your indoor air quality. We can add air cleaners and purifiers that will remove fine dust and chemical impurities. We can install UV lights in your ductwork to kill microorganisms. Our whole-home humidity control system will also discourage mold growth.

You can count on Triad Sheet Metal to help not only with your heating and cooling needs in the Greensboro area but also with your indoor air quality. We have almost 30 years of experience in home comfort. If you want to breathe easier in your home, contact us today.

All furnaces should be serviced and maintained regularly to make sure that they continue heating effectively and efficiently. If you want to lessen the chances of your furnace breaking down over the winter, you should always have your furnace professionally serviced every year. In this post, we're going to discuss why furnace maintenance is important and what it involves.


The Importance of Yearly Furnace Maintenance

Furnace maintenance is essential for your safety. It helps to prevent possible fire hazards and carbon monoxide leaks. The technician servicing your equipment will always check that everything is functioning properly to ensure the furnace will automatically shut down if it overheats or experiences a safety issue. Maintenance is also important for the life of your furnace, ensuring it lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 years. It can also save you money by lowering your heating costs and helping to avoid costly repairs later on.


What Does Furnace Maintenance Entail?

Maintaining a furnace involves inspecting, cleaning and testing all of your heating system's components on an annual basis. This includes the various components inside the furnace, as well as the blower and thermostat.


A technician will inspect your ductwork to ensure it isn't damaged or leaking air. Damaged ductwork will greatly increase your energy costs and make your heating system far less effective.


Cleaning the blower assembly, furnace burners and flame sensor are especially important for keeping the furnace heating effectively. This also provides reliability. Inspecting the heat exchanger and exhaust flue is also essential for ensuring the furnace is properly vented and preventing carbon monoxide leaks.
