Heating and Cooling

Mold can form quickly and spread very fast!

There are many different types of mold and some are very dangerous.  Bathrooms, crawlspaces and attics are the most common places for mold.  High amounts of humidity as well as leaking roofs, drain pipes, crawlspaces, bathroom showers, etc. are all potential sources for mold growth.

Mold can cause allergic reactions, asthma attacks and other respiratory issues.  You can help prevent mold growth by using dehumidifiers, fans that help circulate the air and by drying an area in a timely manner should water or moisture be present.  It is very important to clean and dry the area in the first 24 – 48 hours.

If you have severe mold growth in your home contact a professional to help.  All homes have mold spores and it’s impossible to get rid of all mold spores.  But you can help trap them by installing a MERV 16 Air Filtration System on your home furnace.

Manufacturers such a Lennox make the best air cleaners for total home air purification as they work with your Furnace and air conditioning systems.

Four Seasons Heating can install any air cleaner on any and all models of furnaces.
