How to ensure you have comfortable, clean air in your home

Home heating and A/C has come a long way. Old systems used simple slide-in box filters that captured only large particles and that any do-it-yourselfer could change.

Today's systems are more sophisticated — and much more effective. They utilize electrostatic or even HEPA filters, UV and UVC light to kill mold, bacteria and viruses. The result is much cleaner indoor air — a boon for pet owners, people with allergies and anyone concerned about airborne pathogens, like Covid.

But to take advantage of this technology for your home, you need the highest quality HVAC experts and technicians. That's where the folks at Aire Serv of Huntsville come in. Scott Taylor and his team have over 30 years of experience in HVAC systems and work with the latest technology. They can install a new air quality system, or — for just $13.25 a month — maintain your current system, to make sure it's running efficiently.

As a member of the Neighborly family of companies, Aire Serv offers up-front pricing, red carpet customer service and the 'Done Right Promise': if you're unhappy for any reason, call within 60 days and Aire Serv will make it right.

For clean air in your home, reach out to Scott and the Huntsville Aire Serv team today.

Here are the top stories in Huntsville today:

  1. The Huntsville City Council passed a resolution this week to transfer $6 million in U.S. Treasury funding to Catholic Center for Concern. This will offer residents within the Huntsville city limits that meet income requirements an opportunity for a one-time rental assistance. The Catholic Center for Concern will oversee this program. (WHNT News 19)
  2. There is an armed and dangerous robber on the loose in Madison County, according to the Madison County Sheriff's Office. The suspect has robbed several businesses in the area at gunpoint. There is currently no description of the suspect, but there is a photo on WHNT of the suspect wearing a mask and hoodie and are potentially driving a dark-colored four-door sedan. (WHNT News 19)
  3. James Clemens principal Dr. Brian Clayton is officially out of the building! He is moving on to become the new superintendent of Hartselle City Schools. There is currently a petition online to prevent Clayton from taking the new position. A lawsuit was filed, which the judge rejected, but the judge did set a hearing "for a preliminary injunction against the school board for 1:30 p.m. Jan. 3." (themadisonrecord.com)
  4. At this week's city council meeting, the members passed an ordinance that would keep future medical marijuana dispensaries within the medical district. There was discussion about this decision because of the medical district's size and the restrictions on a dispensary's distance from day cares, schools and other dispensaries and cultivations sites and testing labs needing to be away from residential areas. A decision was ultimately made, which made sure there was some regulation on the issue going into the new year. (WAFF)
