Monday, May 16th, 2022

Indoor air quality is an important consideration for a lot of homeowners. Whether you work from home or want to keep pollen out during allergy season, there’s a good reason to invest in air purification. That said, not all HVAC systems are made for this purpose.

While the name fits, air filters aren’t designed to purify the air coming through the vents. They’re good for maintaining clean airflow, but not in the way you may think. So what role do they actually play? More importantly, what’s the best HVAC system for cleaner indoor air?

“Can My AC Still Perform in Extreme Heat?”

Given where we live, the question of extreme heat and how it plays a role in our air conditioning use is understandable. An air conditioner can only be so powerful, right?

Well here’s the good news–your air conditioner is literally designed to handle high heat. And depending on how efficient of a cooling system you have, yours might not ever struggle.

The not-so-great news is that the average air conditioner cannot cool effectively beyond about a 20° range to what the temperature is outside. This means if the temperature outside is in the triple digits and you’re setting your thermostat to 72°F, you’re probably going to be disappointed–and your air conditioner is just going to keep running as it tries to reach the temperature you set on the thermostat, which is really inefficient.

Aside from this temperature differential, there are other problems that high heat can cause. We’ll explore them below, but first we want to share our #1 tip to ensure that your air conditioner can indeed face this next summer of high heat!

If we had to guess the very last thing you need right now as a commercial property manager or a business owner, we’d say it’s a “broken down air conditioner.” While this is a major inconvenience in a home, it can be a full-on disaster in a commercial space, leading to the loss of business and worker’s comp claims if you have employees in the space.
