May is National Clean Air Month, and as your trusted neighborhood HVAC experts, we at Lake Michigan Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing are here to offer tips on how to improve the quality of your home’s air using advanced HVAC systems. After all, clean air equals healthy living, and we’re all for that!

Fight the Invisible Foe: Indoor Air Pollutants
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of advanced HVAC systems, it’s essential to understand the invisible foes we’re fighting – indoor air pollutants. These pollutants come in various forms – dust, pet dander, mold spores, smoke, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and more. They can cause allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues, but the right HVAC system can keep them at bay.

Embrace Advanced HVAC Systems: The Power of Purification
An HVAC system does more than just control temperature; it also has a crucial role in maintaining air quality. The latest advancements in HVAC technology include high-efficiency filters, ultraviolet (UV) lights, and air purifiers, which can significantly improve your home’s air quality.

High-Efficiency Filters: Blocking the Bad
Modern HVAC systems use high-efficiency filters that trap smaller particles than traditional filters. As a result, they can catch dust, pollen, mold spores, and even certain bacteria, preventing them from circulating in your home. Remember to replace these filters regularly to maintain their efficiency.

UV Lights: Sunlight in a Bulb
UV lights are an excellent addition to your HVAC system. They use the same ultraviolet light that the sun emits to kill bacteria, viruses, and mold that can grow in your HVAC system. It’s like having a little slice of sunlight working 24/7 to keep your air clean and healthy!

Air Purifiers: Your Air Quality Ally
Air purifiers work alongside your HVAC system to further clean the air in your home. They can catch particles that might have been missed, eliminating pollutants and allergens. Plus, many models now come with smart features that allow you to monitor your home’s air quality in real-time.

Maintenance: Keep It Clean, Keep It Efficient
Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is key to maintaining air quality. Ensure your system is regularly serviced to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. Check filters, coils, and ducts, and replace or clean as needed. Remember, a well-maintained system is a well-performing system! If you need a hand, feel free to give your local HVAC experts a call. We’re always here to help.

Breathe Easy: Balanced Humidity
Last but not least, don’t overlook the importance of balanced humidity. Too much moisture can encourage mold growth, while too little can lead to dry skin and respiratory discomfort. A whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier can help maintain the ideal humidity level, making your home more comfortable and your air cleaner.

Remember, every breath is a chance to inhale clean, healthy air. So make sure you’re doing everything you can to make those breaths count! And as always, if you have any questions, call your trusted neighborhood HVAC experts at Lake Michigan Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing. Our friendly and knowledgeable technicians are here to help with all your air quality needs. Happy National Clean Air Month!

Our Neighbors Love Us

Daniel and Aiden did an amazingly quick job responding to and repairing my broken furnace over a weekend. Cheers Gents!

Robert D.

I highly recommend Daniel with Lake Michigan Mechanical. Not only is he super friendly but he very professional and knows his stuff. I bought a new house and of course the current water heater died within a months time of buying the house. Daniel and staff were in and within 24 hours of me noting the problem we had a new heater. Thank you so much for great work!

Theodore S.

We highly recommend Dan and Lake Michigan Mechanical. He provides our rental and personal properties with professional, dependable and knowledgeable service.

Duana & Bonnie W.

Very patient, great job educating us on the issue and explaining our different options

Amanda Z.

Daniel and the entire staff are very responsive. I have used Lake Michigan Mechanical throughout the years. They are professional and charge a fair rate. Both Nigel and Brandon did an outstanding job fixing my old A/C unit and installed the NEST thermostat. Well done gentlemen! Also, most recently installed a tank-less water heater. Once again did outstanding work by Daniel and Team!

Lauren M.

Dan and company were very prompt, efficient and fixed the problem at my Mothers’ house quickly. We were very happy with their service and how quickly they could come to fix the problem. I would highly recommend them.

Sarah Z.

So we have to get a shout out to Lake Michigan Mechanical. They were the only ones who could come do the repair today, everyone else was like three days or more out. They were really cool and made the best out of what was a really stressful day for us!! They were really respectful of keeping our door shut when they went in/out (you would not believe how many animals of ours have gotten out due to home repair people) and they cleaned up after themselves!! So far the hot water seems to be working great!

Jessica G.

Professional and knowledge. They did a great job identifying the problems we were having with our boiler. While other HVAC companies were telling us to replace our unit completely, they knew exactly what to fix to get us up and running, saving us thousands of dollars. I will be calling on them for future repairs I might need. Thank you, Daniel and team!!

Eva S.

Very professional and efficient job done. I recommend this technician highly!

Regency A.

These folks were very knowledge and we love the straightforward pricing.

Satisfied Customer

The phrase first impressions are lasting impressions rings true with Daniel VanderHyde. He rescued us one Saturday morning after we tried “fixing” our leaky shower faucet ourselves. Hoping he could not only undo what we’d done, but be able to fix it without it being a major project was our biggest concern. And he did just that! We were very impressed with the pride and care he put into his work; he was truly a professional.

Jamie & Christie H.

Daniel came right down to fix a pump that was broken on a machine and the timing… was critical, he had a very difficult task completed promptly and I was returned to productivity faster than expected. Thank you I’m very happy.

Mark G.

Daniel installed an Eternal Water Heater and we absolutely love it! He was quick and very knowledgeable about his products. The quality of his work is second to none!
