Why Our Homes Need Humidifiers and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Dry air wreaks havoc on our sinuses and skin. When we close our windows and turn on the heat during the fall and winter months, we are drying out the air inside of our homes. Signs of dry air include fly-away hair, little static shocks when you touch things, or itchy skin. At Pilot Mechanical, we recommend that all of our customers purchase a humidifier to regulate the humidity levels in their homes. With a humidifier from us, you will significantly improve the air quality in your home, along with improving the health of your family for an overall more comfortable, risk-free environment.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that can go unnoticed until it’s too late. This sneaky, toxic gas finds its way into your home through a wide range of seemingly harmless sources such as fuels not burning completely from natural gas or heating oil. Standard smoke detectors do not detect carbon monoxide. If you have older furnace or gas appliances, it’s important to have carbon monoxide detectors installed to protect your home from this silent killer. Our team will be able to determine what type of sensor your home needs that fits your budget.

UV Lighting Protects Your Home Better Than a Filter Alone
UV lights have been utilized in clinics and hospitals to keep both air and medical surfaces clean and disinfected for years. While UV lights might not be a cure-all for all of your poor indoor air quality problems, studies have proven that they are effective at eliminating organic pollutants such as mold, mildew, fungus, bacteria and viruses in your air ducts and where moist conditions may prevail. Our professionals at Pilot Mechanical Heating & Cooling will install a single or dual UV lamp within your duct that will emit a continual germicidal light that will be capable of penetrating the DNA of microorganisms like mold and remove them as they circulate through your HVAC equipment.
