One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning Helping Communities Make the Air Just a Little Bit Cleaner

SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Indoor air pollution consistently ranks among the top five environmental risks to public health, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Indoor Environment Division of the Health Information Network. In an effort to educate local residents on the risks of indoor air pollution and to recognize National Clean Air Month in May, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning offers advice on how to dramatically improve the air quality in your home.

"When most people think of pollution, they automatically think about the pollution of air – outdoors. But, actually, indoor air pollution is a huge issue, as well," said Tab Hunter, president of Franchise Operations, Clockwork Home Services, franchisor of One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning. "Polluted air not only affects our planet, it affects our health. And, indoor air pollution is a major factor when it comes to allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems."

According to Hunter, the best way to begin tackling the pollutants in your home is to learn about different kinds of air filters, and figure out which one best fits your needs.

According to the EPA, the following are some filter choices:

• Mechanical Filters – It removes particles from the air by capturing them on the filter materials.
• Electronic Cleaners – They draw air through an ionization section where particles in the air obtain an electrical charge so that they attach to surfaces such as walls or furniture, or attach to one another and settle faster.
• Gas-phase Filters – These air filters remove gas and odors by using a material called a sorbent, which absorbs the pollutants.

Franchised under Clockwork Home Services, Inc., One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is a nationwide network of exceptional, time-conscious, courteous, highly competent HVAC professionals, Hunter said. The businesses are locally owned and operated and its technicians are experienced, trained and highly knowledgeable – as well as friendly, clean and worthy of trust, Hunter added.
