The location of your thermostat affects the power and performance of your heating and cooling system. For instance, because exterior walls are usually colder than interior ones, installing a thermostat outside will force your furnace to run continuously, leading to wasted energy and decreased cost savings. The ideal place for your thermostat is on an inside wall in the center of your house on the first floor. We recommend that you speak with our team of professionals when you’re ready to choose a location for your new thermostat.

History enthusiasts may recognize the name Nikola Tesla as one of the inventors of the three-phase electrical system during the Victorian period. Even more interesting, this type of electrical power is still used today, and is especially useful when powering motors and electrical generators. A three-phase generator utilizes alternating-current generation, transmission and distribution. Many generators that use this method are powered by gasoline, propane or diesel. Three-phase generators are known for being affordable and reliable in the event of a power outage. Additionally, many are portable enough to be loaded in a truck or camper, making them a favorite for people working in the field or going on camping trips. Additionally, few appliances give a homeowner more peace of mind than a generator that will provide light, warmth and power to a home during windy or stormy weather.

Although many popular filters claim to be 90 day filters, very few are. We recommend checking your filter every month to ensure it is working properly and maintaining the air quality of your home or business. Just remember when you pay your power bill check your filter.

House plants are popular for adding charm and beauty to a home, but many homeowners may not know that their favorite potted plant may also be improving the air quality in their house. Surprisingly, studies have shown that even small house plants can significantly improve indoor air quality and even filter out harmful chemicals and allergens. To add color and vibrancy to any room, as well as make the air easier to breathe for everyone in your family, consider inviting inside any of the following popular potted plants: spider plant, daisy, aloe, chrysanthemum, pothos, ivy, philodendron and bamboo. There are, of course, dozens more plants that you can add to your collection. Don't forget to thank your plants for providing this valuable service by fertilizing them during the warmer months, watering them regularly and making sure the pots give their roots plenty of growing room.

It can be inconvenient, frightening and even dangerous when the electricity goes out in your home. This is why having a home generator can give you peace of mind. There are a variety of generator options available, and by far one of the most energy efficient units is a home generator that your HVAC technician can install. Unlike portable generators, home generators are meant to be a permanent energy backup in case of an emergency. They run on your home’s supply of natural gas or propane, so you don’t have to worry about refueling. This provides a very energy efficient way of ensuring your home will have power during a storm or other emergency. Additionally, home generators raise the resale value of your property by providing a sought-after amenity.

Indoor air quality can be affected by an ever-growing number of things, so it is important to have tools to counteract those pollutants on a daily basis. At Duggan’s One Hour, we know how vital clean air is to everyone’s well-being so we only offer top products to our clients. Air conditioning units generally require the use of an air filter. It keeps contaminants out of the unit and has the potential to help filter the air as it recirculates throughout your home. The Fantastic Filter from Nature’s Home and the Micro Power Guard are two of the best filters available today, and we offer both for our clients’ benefit. Separate air purification systems are also available at Duggan’s One Hour. The OxyQuantum® LED is an ultraviolet germicidal air purifier that reduces bacteria, germs and toxic gases in the air without using the air conditioner or heater.

Your home will most likely use either a circuit breaker or fuse system to protect your house and family in case of an electrical surge. These unexpected surges in electricity can be dangerous and result in fires or electrical shocks without a mechanism to interrupt the flow of electricity. Both fuses and circuit breakers serve this function. When a fuse is blown, the filament inside it melts, effectively and quickly cutting off power. However, the fuse will then need to be replaced. On the other hand, a circuit breaker resembles a panel of sturdy switches. When a circuit trips, the switch pops over to the other side and can be reset by simply flipping it back. A qualified electrician can tell you more about the safety and convenience features regarding fuses and circuit breakers, as well as perform any electrical repairs that may be necessary.
