    How Air Scrubbers and UV Light Systems Help Keep Your Home's Air Clean

    Last updated 6 days ago

    As America matures and the demand for cleaner air among its citizens continues to grow, researchers are developing innovative and effective ways to make the air in a room cleaner. Two of these developments, the air scrubber and the UV Light System, can work together to ensure that the air circulating throughout your home stays allergen-free.

    Air Scrubbers
    An air scrubber is a smart investment for anyone who can afford one and is looking to breathe clean air at home. Using advanced technology, air scrubbers remove particulate matter, gases, and chemicals from an area. These devices provide users with considerable relief and peace of mind when young ones in the home get sick before making it to the toilet or pets decide to relieve themselves indoors without warning.

    UV Air Purifiers
    Another great way to purify the air in your home is via an ultraviolet (EV) air purifier. Specially designed lights use their ultraviolet lamps to kill bacteria, mold, and virus-causing microorganisms. In addition to preventing new sicknesses from infiltrating your home, a UV air purifier can reduce the risk that a contagious illness is transferred from one member of your household to another.

    The Importance of Air Quality
    The air we breathe has a significant effect on our physical and mental health, both in the long-term and the short-term. To ensure that the air you breathe where you spend most of your time is healthy, have it filtered and purified using an air scrubber and UV light technology.

    At Frosty’s Heating & Cooling in Arlington, we strive to always be on the cutting edge of our industry. If you are interested in learning more about these miraculous air purifying technologies, or to find out how much installation and operation of them in your home would cost, give us a call at (240) 455-3255.

    How Does Central Air Conditioning Work?

    Last updated 12 days ago

    Although pleasant in the spring and fall, the mid-Atlantic states can get quite chilly in the wintertime and are known for having triple-digit heat waves every summer. Each year, thousands of Virginian homeowners decide to have air conditioning units installed in their homes so that they can beat the blistering heat with relative ease. To read about how central air conditioning, one of the most popular forms of home cooling, works to help Virginians stay comfortable on warm summer days, continue reading this article.

    Vaporization of Cooler Gases
    In a complex interaction between compressor and gas, cooler-temperature gases are vaporized and converted into heat energy. This energy transfers heat outside, enables air conditioning refrigerant to return to a liquid state, and allows air flowing through the indoor coil to be cooled and dehumidified.

    Filtration of Air
    In addition to central AC’s reputation for energy efficiency, many central air conditioning systems are renowned for dispensing clean air. A central air conditioning unit can help introduce fresh outdoor air into your home without exposing you to the allergens, dust, and other particle matter that you would find yourself breathing in were it not for your HVAC system’s air filters.

    Circulation Throughout Home
    When you have a central air conditioning system, there is no need for there to be an AC unit in each room. All temperature and humidity controls can be set in one location, and clean, cool air will be steadily dispersed through strategically placed air vents.

    Different Features to Look for in a New Air Conditioning Unit

    Last updated 18 days ago

    If the first warm days of this upcoming summer reminds you of how poorly your air conditioner fared toward the end of the last cooling system, you may have to choose between forking out some cash unexpectedly for a replacement system and sacrificing your at-home comfort. As unpleasant as it may be to front the cost of a new air conditioning system, the upgrade may prove to be an investment you treasure. When shopping for the perfect cooling system for your home, keep an eye peeled for the following features:

    Central Cooling
    Central cooling is comfortable, energy-efficient, and highly cost-efficient when viewed from a long-term financial perspective. If you have the infrastructure for it, you should strongly consider investing in a central cooling unit.

    Thermostat Control
    In this day and age, there is no reason for a cost-conscious consumer to use a thermostat with only “high and low” options to cool the home. Look for a user-friendly, digital thermostat, preferably one that is programmable.

    User-Friendliness
    Your air conditioning unit’s controls should be easy to operate. Ask your AC contractor how to control different features of your air conditioning system, and only consider options that you think you could master quickly.

    Energy Efficiency
    New central cooling units are generally among the most energy-efficient HVAC appliances on the market. Choose a unit that has a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of at least 13, and you can rest assured that your air conditioner is among the most environmentally friendly systems in your neighborhood.

    A strong proponent of sustainable living practices, Frosty’s Heating & Cooling of Virginia carries energy-smart central air conditioning units that are easier on both the consumer’s wallet and the environment.
