Prepare for summer now

Health Risks of Dirty Air Ducts

DID YOU KNOW? A dirty A/C filter can cause the air ducts in the home to become dirty and clogged, providing the ideal environment for mold and spores to develop within the ductwork. Millions of unwanted airborne particles may be breathed inside your home. Air filters, ducts, and diffuser vents can become an overhead trap for dust, tobacco smoke, and pollen, cooking odors and pet hair and dander.  Improperly maintained air-conditioner filters and ducts can result in a build-up of allergens such as fungi, pollen, and bacteria in the air triggering: Fatigue ...

What Happens When an Electrical Circuit Overloads?

Electrical Circuits are designed to handle a limited amount of electricity. An overload occurs when you draw more electricity than a circuit can safely handle.

The electricity usage of each device (when running) adds to the total load on the circuit. Exceeding the rated load for the circuit wiring causes the circuit breaker to trip, shutting off the power to the entire circuit. Circuit Overload If...
