When we think of air conditioning, we usually think of keeping calm and comfortable during the blistering heat of summer. But did you know your air conditioning (AC) can do more than keep you cool? Your cooling system can also help you breathe better. At Nexklima Inc., we believe that a well-maintained HVAC system doesn’t just control temperature—it lets you breathe easier. Let’s look at how your cooling system can help the air in your home or work for you in the office.
Upgrade Your Air Filters
Upgrading your air filters is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve indoor air quality. Standard filters catch larger dust particles, while high-efficiency filters like HEPA and MERV-rated can snag pollen, pet dander, and even bacteria.
From Nexklima: Replace your air filters every 1-3 months, depending on system usage, home size, and presence of pets or allergies.
Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps keep your cooling system working effectively and safely. Over time, dust, mold, and other filth can clog your ducts and coils, restricting airflow and disseminating allergens.
Nexklima Solution: Schedule an expert HVAC tune-up with us to clean working parts, inspect ductwork, and confirm top-notch operation year-round.
Consider an Air Purifier Add-On
You can improve your HVAC with air purification technology. UV germicidal lights, electrostatic air cleaners, and whole-home purifiers can be installed directly into your current cooling system to remove airborne pathogens and VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Why it matters: These extras kill bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, which can give you an added layer of protection for your indoor air.
Maintain Ideal Humidity Levels
Too much humidity breeds mold and dust mites, while too little dries out your skin and respiratory system. You can also use a combination of dehumidifiers or humidifiers with your cooling system to balance the right level of indoor humidity—between 30% and 50%.
Nexklima Hint: Inquire our professional about options for controlling humidity for your perfect combination of air conditioning.
Seal and Clean Your Ductwork
Leaky or dirty ducts can spread dust, allergens, and even pests throughout your space. Sealing and cleaning your ducts ensures that conditioned air is blowing cleanly to every room.
Bonus: A clean system operates more efficiently, which may even cut energy bills.
Promote Air Circulation
Proper air circulation also prevents stagnant air, which allows pollutants to collect. Check that furniture or curtains do not obstruct vents and registers. You may also use ceiling fans to aid with circulating air.
Nexklima Recommends: Changing your fan’s rotation direction to clockwise in the winter and counter-clockwise during the summer, which helps you feel cooler and the air circulate.
