Indoor Air Quality & Humidity Control

Alabama is one of the most humid places in the country. Indoor humidity above about 60 percent feels sticky, lets dust mites and mold grow and makes the AC run longer to feel comfortable. Add pollen in spring, pet hair and dust, and the air inside can be worse than outside. Alabama Heating And Air Services helps homes in Bessemer, McCalla and Hueytown breathe easier with the right filtration and humidity control – working together with your heating and air system.

• The right-sized AC – an oversized system cools too fast and leaves moisture behind; we check sizing and airflow first.
• Fan settings and thermostat setup – running the blower on “on” all summer can put moisture back into the air.
• Whole-home dehumidifiers connected to the duct system for homes that stay damp.
• Crawlspace and duct issues – leaky ducts and wet crawlspaces add humidity; we find where it comes from.

A better filter catches more dust, pollen and pet dander before it reaches your lungs and your equipment. We help you choose a filter or media cabinet that cleans the air without choking the system’s airflow, and we show you how often to change it.

• The house feels clammy, or windows fog up.
• Musty smells, or mold spots on vents and ceilings.
• Dust returns soon after cleaning.
• Allergies or asthma act up indoors.
• The AC runs constantly but the house never feels quite right.

Start with an AC tune-up – a clean coil, a clear drain and correct airflow fix many comfort problems on their own. Clean, sealed ductwork helps too.
