Indoor Air Quality
On average, people spend 90 percent of their time indoors but don’t know that indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outside air. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has indoor air quality ranked as one of the top five environmental dangers to public health. It is linked to severe asthma and allergy development in children and to heart problems and lung cancer in children and adults.

Air Cleaners
The HVAC system has a secondary benefit other than cooling and heating. It filters air. The level of filtration depends on the type of air cleaning system installed. R&R Cooling Solutions provides options for creating and maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
Air Duct Repairs
Installing a high-efficiency HVAC system is only half the equation. R&R Cooling Solutions can repair and modify air ducts to ensure the high-efficiency of the system is not wasted through leaky duct work.
UV Light Systems
Filters capture a large percentage of the airborne particles. However, UV lights will kill the microscopic cells that make their way past the filter. If you have allergies, pets, or just enjoy a clean indoor environment, UV lights are a great addition to your home.
Humidifiers/Dehumidifiers
Depending on the goal, indoor climate can be fine-tuned with the addition of either a humidifier or a dehumidifier. Proper indoor humidity levels help your HVAC system run efficiently.
Thermostats
Upgrading your thermostat can lower your energy bills and provide a more comfortable experience. Most of the thermostats today are WiFi-compatible, 7-day programmable, and have Geo-fencing through an iPhone/Android app.
