  • How often should I change my HVAC filters?

    Changing out your HVAC filters usually depends on your home and if you have pets. The best way is to check your filters after 30 days. If they seem dirty or discolored, change them. If not wait 60 days, but always change them again before 90 days.

  • Why do I smell a burning smell coming from my vents?

    If your heat hasn't been running lately, then the smell you are smelling is dust particles burning off of your heat exchanger or electric heat kit. This poses no harm to you and should dissipate within minutes. If this smell lasts for longer than 15 minutes or becomes stronger, turn off your system and give us a call.

  • Should I place a vapor barrier down?

    Every home's crawlspace is different. The best way to determine if you need a vapor barrier is to allow one of our technicians to come and do a moisture analysis under your home. With our specialized testers, we can accurately gauge if a vapor barrier would benefit you and your home.

  • Does moisture in the crawlspace affect my ductwork and HVAC unit?

    Yes! If there is too much moisture in your crawlspace, it will affect your systems. This can cause mold to grow, even inside the HVAC system, and spread into the air in your home, wreaking havoc on your health.


  • Do I really need to worry about radon in Greenville, SC?

    Here in South Carolina, Greenville has one of the highest concentrations of radon in its soil in the entire state. This is a concern for local homeowners and the reason we offer radon remediation services.

  • What should I know about my indoor air quality inside my home?

    According to the EPA, the indoor air inside your home is 10 times more polluted than the air outside your home. Houses today are built to keep out most fresh air. Anything from viruses to VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) floating around inside your home can cause health issues for you and your loved ones. From humidity levels to dust, at ACC, we specialize in clean air and can help you choose the best course of action.

  • Does humidity really affect the quality of my air inside?

    It certainly does! Humidity in the 45% range can kill off viruses, while humidity below 50% can kill off dust mites. Anything below 40% starts to dry out nasal membranes and also causes sore throats and dry nostrils. And anything above 55% can lead to mold growth and moisture issues with your home's flooring and walls.
