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.

That was nearly 92 percent of their intake, which marks the eighth year in a row they've kept that over 90 percent. Councilman Kling is expected to be donating $25,000 to their spay and neuter program to help keep that number up for the upcoming year. (WHNT News 19)
