R. A. Biel Plumbing and Heating, Inc and Healthy Homes

Mark J. Biel • July 5, 2018

Today’s homes are now more airtight and insulated. As a consequence, though, the air inside homes can be two to five times more polluted than the air outside. Indoor air quality is an increasing problem in many Farmington homes, which is why we’ve developed specific services to address this problem.

Healthy Homes

In this post, our air conditioning repair experts at R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc. shares the services we provide that help you create a better home.

Preventive Maintenance

Without regular maintenance, small HVAC problems will become larger concerns and can negatively affect your home’s comfort levels. To address this, we recommend you take advantage of our preventive maintenance and performance tune-ups.

Preventive air conditioning maintenance and heating repair not only extends your hardware’s life span, it also reduces utility bills and even reduces the need for repair work. More importantly, keeping your HVAC systems in good condition will translate to a better indoor environment for you and your family.

Air Filtration

Dry air is a recurring problem in many homes and can cause a number of complications. These include increased personal discomfort, faster drying out of wooden floors and furniture, and can create a breeding ground for viruses and other harmful microorganisms.

To combat these problems, we offer a number of air filtration products from Carrier®. We’ll first ask you what level of air filtration best fits your home’s needs. Then, we’ll recommend the right air purification system. For the best indoor air quality, we recommend the Carrier Infinity™Air Purifier. It’s the ideal choice for households with allergy concerns as this system treats 100% of the air flowing through your home.

Drain and Sewer Repair

We also offer expert drain and sewer repair. We’ll analyze your drain problems and offer solutions that will prevent further problems that might impede your home’s comfort. Our team of technicians are all fully trained and experienced in using the latest technology to provide you with unmatched service.

R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is ready to help you create a better and healthier home. Call us today at (505) 327-7755 to learn more about our services.
