We wish you and your family a healthy and happy Thanksgiving!
It’s the time of year that families start spending more time inside the home. Within the Air Conditioning system, left untreated, you'll find nasty bugs.
These microorganisms breed in the condensation tray, hiding in the darkness, wallowing in the damp conditions. As they quickly multiply, they create the slime that can be found in the drain line, evaporator pan and condensate pump, this causes the pan to overflow and your air conditioning to break down
Change your air filters regularly to prevent slime build up. Air can't pass through a dirty filter and the motor has to work harder. The air quality will be affected. If anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma their symptoms can be exacerbated. We can STOP bugs and slime NOW!
SLIME BUILD UP IF LEFT UNTREATED

Unlike a coffee maker which can be easily replaced, warranty service for major equipment requires more than a phone call to the manufacturer and voiding those warranties is easier than you might think.
When it comes to major equipment, using off-brand replacement parts or failing to use an authorized service provider for repairs and regular preventive maintenance are just a few of the things that can void your warranty and, when it comes time for warranty service, you’ll need an authorized service provider to diagnose the problem and deal with the manufacturer.
Manufacturers will often require service providers to send back a defective part so they can confirm that it is, in fact, defective and, if they determine that the replaced part was still good, the service provider will be held liable for the cost of the part, plus an additional financial penalty.
And, while the basic factory warranty will cover the cost of a warrantied part, it won’t cover the costs associated with diagnosing the problem, ordering the new part, filing the warranty paperwork, or sending the defective part back to the manufacturer – all of which can far outweigh the cost of the part itself, which is why so many service providers won’t even bother with warranty work…
At All-Pro Electrical and Air Conditioning, we are committed to exceeding your expectations every day - and that includes honoring all manufacturer’s warranties!
According to forecasters with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, is expected to be an “above normal” season with 13 to 20 named storms, including 3 to 5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher).
These tips will keep you comfortable and your AC protected in the event of a hurricane:
Clear and Cover
Prior to the storm, bring in any outdoor tables, chairs or other items that could become airborne and cause damage to the AC System. You can even cover the outside unit with a tarp in order to keep it free from flying leaves, dirt and other debris, but make sure to remove the covering before you turn the unit back on!
Cool Down Your House
Before the threat of the storm is imminent, try cooling your house as much as possible so you are comfortable for a while after you turn off your AC System.
Turn Off the Power
Nearly 90% of all electrical system damage occurs when the AC is left on during a thunderstorm or hurricane. You may have to tolerate a bit of heat and humidity when you turn off your AC but leaving it on could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs.
Wait 20 Minutes
Keep the AC off until the storm passes and don't be in a rush to turn it back on. In the event of flooding, don’t restore power to the equipment until it is completely dry and you are certain that it is safe to do so.
Even if the unit looks unharmed, wait a minimum of 20 minutes after the power is restored to turn the AC System back on. Unstable or “dirty” power is common in the minutes after the power returns.
Stay safe and don’t forget to include your AC System in your Hurricane Preparedness Plan.

Filters do relatively little to reduce the number of small particles you inhale, that’s because these particles tend to be in the air wherever there is human activity—and that’s not necessarily where your return registers and ductwork can capture them.
When the fan is not running the air is not being filtered.
The primary purpose of a filter is to protect the Air Conditioning equipment, not to improve indoor air quality, even though of course it does help and filters should be changed regularly.
Harmful bacteria and viruses can live up to a week in your living or workspace.
Contaminants like dust, pet dander, odors and gases from construction materials even the aerosol sprays that we use are all trapped inside of our living spaces.
After years of research exciting new technologies are now available that can dramatically improve the quality of the air that your family breathe.
Installed in your Air Conditioning system, the friendly scrubbers of an Air Purifier seek out and destroy germs as well as the ones living on the surfaces of your home.
Particularly helpful for children, the elderly and anyone with allergies or respiratory issues.
Dust Free’s proprietary air purification technology was tested for efficacy at reducing SARS-COV-2 by the University of Milan in Milan, Italy on September 11, 2020.
The test was conducted within the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences and supervised by Davide Mileto, a Microbiologist with the University of Milan Lugi Sacco Hospital. The study results show Dust Free’s proprietary Active Technology to be effective in reducing the SARS-COVID-2 virus.
The test results show a 99.7% reduction of the SARS-COVID-2 virus within 20 minutes and prove the Dust Free technology as a viable solution to help reduce SARS-COVID-2.
The Dust Free® Active Air Purifier’s unique technologies target air quality problems at the source, such as dust, dander, germs, volatile organic compounds, allergens, odors and more. Installed into the supply plenum of your HVAC system, the Dust Free® Active in-duct air purifier’s environmentally-friendly oxidizers and ionization system safely and effectively purifies the air in your home.

Wet, dark conditions provide the perfect environment for the growth of microorganisms.The slime grows quickly, left untreated multiple issues are quickly created as bacteria loves dust! As dirt accumulates on the filter, air can't pass, the motor has to work harder.As the slime grows it will completely block the condensate line, causing the pan to overflow and the air conditioning will break down.
Dirty air filters affect the air quality and can exacerbate symptoms if anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma. If you have a pet, dander accumulates in the system and then spreads allergens throughout the household. White slime will be found in in the drain line, evaporator pan and condensate pump.
Here's what happens when you don't change your filters regularly, this is the Slime that we remove from units every day.
Change your filters regularly, simple, yet effective !
All-Pro recommend checking your filters every month, replace them if needed. You will breathe the difference and avoid breakdowns.
Schedule regular maintenance to keep the slime away!
Fresh-Aire UV, a world-leader in HVAC ultraviolet disinfection systems, has successfully completed phase-1 third-party testing of their residential, commercial, and healthcare products for effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19 disease). In the test report titled “SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization by Germicidal UV Light System from FreshAire UV” the systems delivered greater than 4-log inactivation (>99.99%) on the SARS-CoV-2 virus within 0-2 seconds of exposure to Fresh-Aire UV UVC 254nm light systems.

The most common cause of a breakdown is because of a dirty filter!
As dirt accumulates on the filter, air can't pass, the motor then has to work harder, this can result in higher bills, costly repairs or even a replacement unit if it's older.\
Dirty filters affect the air quality, if any of your family suffer from allergies or asthma they can exacerbate the symptoms. If you have a pet, dander accumulates in the system and then spreads allergens throughout the house. Changing the filter regularly is simple yet effective
Air Conditioning Maintenance
Just like a car, your Air Conditioning needs regular maintenance to run efficiently.
Regular maintenance ensures that your units are running at their peak performance. All-Pro provides a genuine 33 point performance test. Benefit from fewer expensive and inconvenient breakdowns by scheduling
an Air Conditioning Tune Up
Did You Know?
During the hot humid summer months it is normal for your Air Conditioning system to drain up to 30 gallons of water outside of your house per day.
As your Air Conditioning is cooling your home it is also dehumidifying, humidity is the water vapor in the air, your Air Conditioning pulls the water out of the humid air and dispels it outside.
Some systems require the addition of an extra pump to help pump the water out, especially when there could be sediment in underground piping.
Your All-Pro technician will offer his recommendations during his maintenance visit
Why you shouldn't set your thermostat above 78 degrees
As previously mentioned your Air Conditioning cools and dehumidifies the air, setting your thermostat above 78 degrees may save energy as the system is running less but it won't be running enough to reduce the humidity.
Warm humid conditions are the breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Mold can cause damage to your home, your Air Conditioning system, particularly the coils and can cause serious health issues.
Mold spores can cause allergic reactions, coughing, throat irritation and upper respiratory symptoms.

Unfortunately many people think they can save money by using unlicensed contractors.
Fines for the homeowner: Hiring an unlicensed contractor is a violation of Florida Statute 455.228 which can result in a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for the home or business owner, and you could be liable for the court costs on top of that.
Also, if an unlicensed contractor files bankruptcy or skips out while working on your home or business, you are responsible for all fines, unpaid bills to suppliers, and for the wages of employees who worked for the unlicensed contractor.
Poor qualifications: Unlicensed individuals have not demonstrated the education, insurance, or qualification required of a licensed contractor. This can leave you with poor quality work or unfinished projects, which means that you could spend more money hiring another contractor to repair or finish the project.
Possible criminal background: Unlicensed individuals frequently have criminal backgrounds that may include fraud, theft, violent crime, sexual offenses, and substance abuse.
Likelihood of becoming the victim of a scam: Unlicensed individuals often disappear after taking your money, leaving you with very few options to help you get your money back or your work completed.
No coverage under homeowner’s policy: Homeowner's insurance does not cover unlicensed contractors so the homeowner is held responsible for hiring an unlicensed contractor and is therefore accountable for any work associated with the contractor. If an unlicensed contractor's carelessness leads to injury or damage to you or your neighbor’s property, you will be held accountable.
Noncompliance with building codes: Most projects, even small ones, require permits and inspections that unlicensed contractors ignore or are unfamiliar with. If your project isn't permitted or doesn’t comply with the building code, you may have to remove or repair the work at your own expense and be subject to fines by local government.
Voided warranties: Installations performed by an unlicensed contractor void the manufacturer's warranty so you could be spending thousands of dollars on a unit that is not covered if it fails.
Hiring an unlicensed contractor is not worth the risk!

But your sensitive electronics, expensive home entertainment components, and central air conditioning unit don’t have to become casualties of mother nature’s wrath with a whole-house surge protector.
Typically, power flows through the wiring in your home at a constant level of 110 or 220 volts. A power surge is a sudden burst of current that can push thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, of volts through your electrical lines and anything that is plugged into an outlet. All this extra power can melt electrical lines, burn insulation, and destroy valuable electronics and appliances.
The three most likely causes are power spikes within the home, these can usually be traced back to larger appliances like your HVAC system or refrigerator, lightning, and disruptions in the electrical grid. Regardless of the cause, effective surge protection can save you thousands of dollars.
With whole-house surge protection, you don’t have to worry about unprotected electrical outlets because the surge protector is wired directly to the electrical panel so it’s ready to spring into as soon as excess voltage tries to make its way through your electrical system. A whole–house surge protector shields the electrical system itself by preventing the over-voltage from reaching your outlets.
If your hurricane preparedness plan doesn’t include a whole-house surge protector, call All-Pro Electrical and Air Conditioning at (561) 988-0460 today. We’ll evaluate your existing electrical system to ensure that your home is outfitted with the perfect whole–house surge protector for your needs.
One that is invisible to the naked eye but whose effects can be clearly seen and felt. A strain of the coronavirus, known as COVID-19 has brought the world to its knees.
To an extent, we are helpless in its destructive path. Despite this, there are actions you can take to protect yourself and your family: wash hands regularly (and properly), maintain social distancing and disinfect surfaces.
But you can take further actions to reduce your risk to exposure to germs overall. You can trust and believe in the proven, tested science of the Germ Killing Power Of UVC Light.
An air purifier will not guarantee protection from the dreaded COVID-19. It will, however, reduce the germs that your body has to battle. Consider a whole house purifier to reap the maximum benefits for your whole family.

With talk of coronavirus blanketing the airwaves and so many companies claiming to have special filters and air purifiers that can kill the virus, it’s no wonder we’ve received so many calls and emails from customers looking to protect their families and employees from this scary new illness, so we wanted to pass along some information to help you separate the signal from the noise.
Let’s start with the basics, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may be possible to get COVID-19 by touching a surface that has the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose or eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Noting that airborne particles play a significant role in the spread of the disease, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has released proactive guidance that addresses COVID-19 concerns with respect to the operation and maintenance of HVAC systems.
Viruses, like COVID-19, are much smaller than bacteria (roughly 100 times smaller) and other pollutants like pollen and pet dander which are the primary source of poor indoor air quality. This means that a standard HEPA filter will not remove viruses from the air. Some air purifiers can capture viruses, but they won’t destroy them so the virus will remain alive inside the filter for as long as the virus survives.
Unlike HEPA filters and traditional air purifiers, UV air purifiers installed in the HVAC system can achieve up to 99.999996% reduction on microorganisms. In fact, a very large percentage of microorganisms, including coronavirus, already have a defined UV microwatt dose for inactivation
UV air purifiers use a germicidal UV light to bathe an area of the ventilation system with high–frequency ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation causes cellular disruption to any organic material moving through the ductwork, destroying its DNA and either killing the cell or rendering it inert and harmless. This process leaves behind no chemical residue and offers no danger to humans.
All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning, offers a variety of indoor air quality products including the APCO® whole-house air purifier which uses activated carbon and germ-killing UV-C light to remove odors, chemicals, and biological contaminants for the lifetime of your air system.
Whether you are a current customer or a future customer, we are here for you.
If you are in need of a filter for your Air Conditioning system, we would like to deliver or install one for you free of charge.
