HVAC at Abt: Heating and Air Conditioning
Hot summer days can sweat the good vibes out of any home, and chilly winter nights can be just as bad (if not worse). Whether you live in the shifting seasons of the Chicagoland area or a part of the country that suffers from a consistently warm or cool climate, you'll need to be ready with the proper HVAC system. A ceiling fan or two can sometimes manage to bring temperatures down, but any home needs to be ready with central heating and air conditioning systems. Equip your space with AC units, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, thermostats and ceiling fans to have complete control of your space.
Do I Need Central Air?
Hoping to cool your home down (or heat it up)? There's more than one way to do it. Think about whether you need the gold standard in chilling, central forced air conditioning. While installation costs and labor are more intensive than simply fitting your space with a window unit, the payout is long-lasting: cooler temperatures that you can adjust with a simple thermostat whenever you need. Perfect for larger living areas and families that need to stay cool, these systems are a must-have for many. But if you live in a smaller space and don't mind the noise and self-installation inherent in a classic window AC, these more affordable options might be better for you. If you're still not sure which option is best for you, reach out to our team of HVAC experts at 847-954-4100 to discuss options.
Find Your Optimal Humidity Level
Temperature isn't the only factor to consider when you're tightening up your home's climate regulation. Consider factors like humidity, especially in ground floors and basement spaces. These areas can often suffer from an abundance of moisture, which can cause mold and spores. That can endanger your home's structure and the health of anyone who lives inside. Equip your space with a dehumidifier to pull moisture from the air—consider picking one with an automatic drainage system so that you won't have to empty the water bucket every few hours.
If you live in a dry environment like the desert or if rain is scarce this season, you're probably experiencing a lack of moisture (which can be just as problematic.) Low moisture levels can lead to cracked lips and poor sinus health or allergies. Look for humidifiers that can help bring moisture back into the equation. Bypass humidifiers connect directly to your HVAC heating and air conditioning systems to bring optimized moisture into your home automatically. But if you find you only need a little extra humidity in the office or a child's room, opt for the more portable, smaller-scale evaporator model instead.
Find Smart Thermostats, Fans, Air Purifiers and More at Abt
AC units and moisture regulators aren't the only things you'll need to make your house a home. Outfit your space with smart thermostats to keep energy costs low (and bodies warm) when outdoor temperatures drop. Meanwhile, cold and flu season doesn't stand a chance with help from next-gen air purifiers. Make sure you're well equipped for every change in weather with heating and air conditioning systems from Abt.
