Our #1 Tip for Living Comfortably This Summer

April 19th, 2021

It’s natural for homeowners these days to be concerned with their home comfort, health, and safety. While there are many ways to ensure this is the case, there is one in particular that is important this time of year—air conditioning maintenance.

Professional maintenance is one of those services that homeowners often see as optional. However, much like maintenance on your car with oil changes, brake checks, and tire rotations, your cooling system cannot perform as efficiently and effectively as possible without this very important service.

Your Outdoor Plumbing Checklist for Spring

With springtime upon us, it’s time to start using our outdoor plumbing to bring life back to our homes’ landscaping and gardens. Without the right care, however, your pipes can put a damper on your spring plans.

There have been a number of advancements made in order to reduce energy usage and costs for homeowners throughout the Pacific Northwest, and this is one of them.

March 8th, 2021

Should you invest in Aeroseal duct sealing services? If your household suffers from uneven heating or cooling throughout the living space, inadequate indoor air quality, or high utility bills without cause, then you could benefit from this service.

Perhaps you’ve noticed a buildup of dust in your home or musty odors in the home. This can be due to damaged, leaky ductwork. Your ductwork can actually lose up to 30% of the conditioned air that you’re paying for anyway. Plus, it allows contaminants and allergens in, threatening your indoor air quality.

Good indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential to both the comfort and health of our indoor spaces. Quality air is especially important these days, and with the amount of time we spend indoors, how healthy that air we breathe is and how well it prevents virus transmission are worthy concerns.

On average, Americans spend over 70% of their time indoors—you deserve the peace of mind that the air you breathe during that time is comfortable and healthy! You can make a huge difference in the health of your home by equipping your household with the right IAQ products and services. A great solution is a whole-home air purification system like the REME HALO® or HALO-LED™ in-duct air purifier.

HVAC Installation: Why You Should Consider the Daikin Fit

February 8th, 2021

At Barron Heating & Air Conditioning, we focus on three pillars: comfort, health, and energy efficiency. There’s no exception when it comes to our products installed and available services. Our team works with some of the best HVAC systems on the market today, including the Daikin Fit heat pump system.

When choosing a system for installation, it’s often tempting for homeowners to go with the cheapest heater or air conditioner they can find. This can be a costly mistake, however. Going with the lowest price version often sacrifices the performance quality for your home, ultimately binding you to high monthly payments to heat and cool your home due to how much energy your HVAC system will consume.

Performance is key! Whether you’re on the market for a new heater, AC system, or both, the Daikin Fit is an affordable option that makes performance a priority, providing the comfort you want while saving you money.
