August 1, 2008 by admin · 1 Comment

Oliver Heating & Air Conditioning knows that carbon monoxide concentrations as low as 9 parts per million can adversely effect your health (most carbon monoxide detectors have a sensitivity to concentrations above 70 ppm). Additionally, in many homes “negative pressure” exists that prevents CO from escaping normally. They test the air

and appliances in your home and install fan-assisted combustion air delivery equipment to correct any pressure imbalances.

Carbon monoxide can come from many different sources, including heating systems, stoves, fireplaces, and water heaters. Since the standard carbon monoxide monitor can not detect the low levels of carbon monoxide that these appliances can produce, the detection process of a Certified Analyst is critical. Read more

Control Indoor Air Pollution. Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned by Oliver Heating & Cooling

July 30, 2008 by admin · 1 Comment

The sad news is, we can’t always control how much air pollution there is in our cities. The good news is, we can control how much indoor air pollution there is indoors, inside our homes, offices and other indoor areas we use frequently. One of the ways to control indoor air pollution is by regularly cleaning your air ducts.

If air ducts are not installed, maintained and operated correctly, they can become contaminated with dust particles, pollen particles or particles of other debris. Moisture, when present, threatens to provide an environment for microbiological growth, such as mold. Spores from such growth may be released into the air in the home’s living space. Exposure to contaminants like these may cause allergic reactions in people. That’s why many people choose to have their air ducts cleaned. Oliver Heating & Cooling will clean the air ducts in your home. You wont have to worry about allergens in your home. Read more
