Ragweed season is no joke for allergy sufferers in Alabama. The Goldenrod plant often gets the blame for allergies actually caused by ragweed in Alabama. Did you know your heating and air system can be a powerful ally in reducing allergens in your home and helping you find relief from your allergy symptoms overall? Let’s review the steps you can take to get ready for the fall and winter seasons while improving your indoor air quality.
Your HVAC System Can Be a Powerful Ally Against Allergies, Asthma and COPD, Here’s How:
Keep out harmful allergens. Filters in your HVAC system can keep out allergens, which threaten your comfort and health such as pollen, ragweed and dust. In addition to keeping the external allergens out, your HVAC’s filter can successfully prevent common allergens found inside the home such as pet dander, mold, dust mites, pollen and cockroach droppings from impacting your indoor air quality.
Routine Maintenance is key. While filters can keep airborne allergens from impacting your indoor air quality and cause health problems, mold and mildew can build up and cause additional issues. Keeping up with routine maintenance schedules with a professional HVAC service provider will help prevent these harmful substances from getting into your home.
Air Purifiers can add to the preventative power of HVAC system.For even deeper protection against allergens, many homeowners add an air purifier with a HEPA filter to the HVAC system. This is an excellent option for filtering out allergens your HVAC’s filters can’t handle alone. If you have family members who suffer from asthma or allergies, a whole-home air purifier can prevent aggravating serious health conditions. When you reduce allergens in your home’s air, everyone in the family breathes easier.
Dehumidifiers are part of the picture.Humidity in Alabama is at some of the highest levels in the country. An imbalance in humidity inside your home can lead to mold and mildew problems, which can aggravate conditions like asthma, COPD and allergies. Many types of dehumidifiers can be integrated into your homes HVAC system to control moisture and humidity in the air.

Hurricane Season Is Not Over Yet – Be Sure To Protect Your AC Compressor!
Steps to take when the storm is on its way
The good thing about hurricanes is, if there is actually a good thing, you do generally have some advance notice. You may have to hustle, but you have time to prep. When a storm is headed your way, take some key steps to ensure your AC compressor survives the storm. Here is what you can do:
As you are prepping for the storm to hit, turn the temperature down on your AC system to get your home as cool as possible in case you lose power or have to shut down your system completely.
If at all possible, turn your AC system off completely at its power source. If you do choose to leave it on, your unit can suffer severe damage from the power interruptions, which are usually unavoidable during a storm. The power failures can pressurize your system to the breaking point.
Leave it off until it’s safe to turn it on again. Be sure to watch the weather. Once power is restored, turn on your air conditioning again.
What you can do when the hurricane is happening
Lightning is one of the biggest culprits of AC compressor damage. In some cases, the damage is not obvious at first. The installation of a whole-home surge protector can give you peace of mind during thunderstorms and even hurricanes.
How to handle your AC compressor after the storm
Once the hurricane has passed and the power is back on, you’ll want to turn the system on as soon as you can. Don’t let your system sit idle as mold and bacteria will undoubtedly develop.

Consider these 4 reasons to replace your air conditioner this fall (not next year)!
If your air conditioner limped through August, a new air conditioner is going to be in order soon. You might also be thinking you should put off the install of a new unit until next year. After all, summer is almost over. Putting off what you can do today until tomorrow is generally never a good idea and in the case of a new air conditioner, there are reasons to be proactive and replace your old AC now.
Reasons to Replace Your Air Conditioner Now
You can save money. At the end of the season, you can often find excellent deals on the best air conditioner manufacturers. A quality HVAC provider, like Air Specialty, can help you get the best air conditioner for the best price!
Your HVAC service provider will have more time. Your HVAC service provider won’t be as bogged down with AC repairs once the temperatures cool down, so you’ll likely get an appointment quicker. Your technician will have plenty of time to assess your needs and do the research to recommend the perfect new air conditioner for your home.
You may not have any other option. There are some cases where putting off installing a new air conditioner is not an option. If your air conditioner doubles as a heat pump in the winter, you may not have the option to put replacement off until next summer. You might have an emergency repair this winter and an unnecessarily high power bill as well.
Fall can be hotter than you think. Summer might officially end on September 22nd, while temps can stay elevated for many weeks. Ensure you can enjoy autumn this year, and be ready when summer comes next year with the best air conditioner available.
If your air conditioner is finally quitting on you, don’t put off until next year what makes the most sense to do today! Just reach out to Air Specialty for an honest and thorough assessment of what is best for your home and your budget.

For those of us with kids still in the home, the start of school marks a change in lifestyle. The gatherings by the pool, impromptu barbecues and family time at home comes to an abrupt halt as we get more structured in our schedules and spend more time out of the house. As you find your home is suddenly quieter, you may find it’s colder. With fewer people home during the day, you can adjust your air conditioning. It’s time to change the settings on your programmable thermostat. Or, if you don’t have one, let’s review the advantages they offer in energy efficiency and comfort control!
Update Your Air Conditioning Settings As Kids Go Back To School
Customize your programmable thermostat to your world. There are many options and choices for a programmable thermostat. Choose one to fit your needs and sync with your family’s schedule. For example, you may choose a programmable thermostat with one set of settings during the week and another during the weekend. You may select a seven-day model designed for different settings for every day. Some even have a “vacation” mode.
Customize your programmable thermostat for your routine. Take a minute to think about your household routine. For example, is your house completely empty every weekday or are you gone every weekend for travel sports? Once you assess your most common patterns, you’ll know how best to set your programmable thermostat to optimize your air conditioning and keep your family comfortable.
Last minute vacay? Set your thermostat accordingly. There’s no reason for your air conditioner to work so hard while you’re away. With a Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat, your home can cool and ready for your return as soon as your plane lands. It’s so easy to maximize your energy savings and seamlessly return to the comfort of home with a programmable thermostat.
Programmable thermostats are an essential tool to keep your home comfortable all year round. As we mark the end of summer and our kids head back to school, it’s important to look at our pre-set preferences to avoid unnecessarily high air conditioning bills.
