Tips to Keep the Indoor Air Quality High in Your Central Florida Home This Spring

Tips & Tricks

It’s Spring, and for a lot of our friends, that means spring cleaning. For some, it’s time to get out and enjoy the spring sports. And for some, it means more time spent indoors, as all the trees go into bloom and pollen allergies get bad.

Trust me, I don’t blame you if your Spring plans involve sitting inside and watching your favorite shows. The oak pollen alone can make things a nightmare. But if you’re going to spend time inside, it’s best to keep the pollen outside. Along with dust, mold, mites… basically, it’s a good time to pay some attention to your indoor air quality.

Here’s a few tips:

  • Add a UV light to your system! Hot, humid summer is on its way, and that means danger from mold and mildew. A UV light in your HVAC system can kill off those harmful microbes before they circulate through your house.
  • Use a dehumidifier. Even though your A/C will help keep the moisture down, it’s not designed to balance your humidity. It’s designed to keep you cool. A whole-house dehumidifier will keep you cooler and keep mold and mildew down.
  • Think about using a stand-alone air cleaner. Whether it’s an electrostatic air cleaner or a filter-based model, an air cleaner can give a boost to your indoor air quality and take the pressure off your furnace and A/C filters.
  • Speaking of which, replace your air filters! A clogged filter won’t make you very happy when it’s keeping that cool air from flowing through your home. And when the air doesn’t flow, it doesn’t reach your dehumidifiers and germicidal UV lights and filters. Replace filters once a month.
  • Keep your home tidy. Replace, boil or bleach your kitchen sponges once a week to kill off bacteria, declutter your living areas so dust and moisture can’t hide, take off your shoes inside the front door so you don’t track dirt in, etc. Do a little Spring cleaning!

If you need any help managing your indoor air quality this Spring, I hope you’ll look us up at Scott’s Heating & Air Conditioning.

Oh my god what an amazing company! I literally called one hour ago and said that my thermostat wasn’t working and there was a knock on my door within the hour! They told us what to do to fix it therefore saving us a $600 bill. They came right away, none of that we can see you in 48 hour junk. Amazing.

They were able to provide me with same day service, friendly and very responsive. Also, I got 2 other quotes and the pricing was the most competitive.
So thankful and impressed! My dad returned home after having open heart surgery to a completely dead HVAC system in the middle of summer. Definitely not ideal. The repair was going to be pricey so he opted for a new unit. A crew came out on a Saturday and did a very clean and efficient install. Highly recommend this company!!!

Very professional, work very neat and cleaned up and removed stuff. Very impressed with all of the staff and the company.
Our AC decided to quit during one of the hottest heatwaves in years. We called Scott's and someone was at the house to give us a quote in 30 min. From the moment they answered our first phone call through the install everyone was amazing, professional and provided a quality product and excellent service. Craig, Jose, Dexter were awesome! One of the new guys brought us a portable unit at 9:30 PM on a Friday so we could sleep. We missed his name, but shout out to him as well (he likes to give high fives). Thanks Scott and team for everything. We highly recommend!!!

For the past week I've worked with Craig on getting estimates for a new A/C unit, and he has been great at answering my questions and addressing any concerns. Very responsive and knowledgeable, straight shooter and direct! I didn't have to deal with any up-selling like working with a used car salesman (I experienced that with other bigger local A/C companies providing quotes). For these qualities alone I would recommend Scott's A/C, even though I will disclose that we ultimately went with another quote from a family referral of an A/C company. Had that family referral not been apart of our consideration, we would definitely choose and recommend Scott's for new A/C installs and service!

We can't thank Scott's enough. We came home to a air conditioner barely limping along. I called Scott's first thing in the morning and they had a technician out that day. Unfortunately our system could not be saved. The salesman Craig came out that day as well and quoted a new system. Since it was a Friday we could not get the system installed until Tuesday. Scott's provided us with a portable system which definitely helped during the grueling heat wave in Central Florida. Tuesday came, the installers showed up on time and did an awesome installation job. Cleaned everything up and went on their way. Everyone was pleasant, professional and great to work with! Thank You Scott's Heating & Cooling!

Always happy with their response time. Issue started last night causing our A/C unit to shut down. Made a call to Scott's Heating and Air in the morning and a tech was here by 10:45am. Tyrie, the tech, is awesome. He quickly took care of the problem and had us up and running in no time at all. He is knowledgeable and professional and did a great job.
Perfect company to do business with. Professional and courteous in all phases of project.

Excellent response and service. After 25 years of being serviced by a competitor I decided to change companies. AC was out and in need of replacement. Within 24 hours we had the sales rep here and new unit going in for a reasonable expense. No upselling, phony money savings, or timeshare presentations- just a new system without being targeted and pressured into pricey newer technology that will also become obsolete and non reparable every system cycle. I’m recommending to everyone looking for a new provider

Scott’s saved the day for us this evening. Our A/C stopped working and it got hot inside quickly, which was more complicated because I’m 36 weeks pregnant. Scott’s was responsive to our call and within two hours someone had come and fixed our unit!
