A common question we have been asked recently is how frequently HVAC air filters need to be changed. This is due to the recent air pollution from the Canadian forest fires and the lack of rain during allergy season. To help answer this question, we have to start by explaining the basics of HVAC air filters.

At Bob Cermignano Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc., we value our employees and believe in the importance of education. While our technicians continually take technical courses to further their knowledge and experience in the HVAC industry, we enrolled all our employees in a different type of training this past week- t he American Heart Association’s Heartsaver ® First Aid/CPR/ AED Course. This two-part course was held exclusively for our company at the Merion Fire Company and was taught by an American Heart Association certified instructor from Narberth Ambulance. The first part of the course focused on CPR and AED while the second part focused on First Aid. The overall topics we covered in this course were: First Aid Medical Emergencies Injury Emergencies Environmental Emergencies Preventing Illness and Injury Adult, Children and Infant CPR and AED Use Opioid- Associated Life-Threatening Emergencies Whether working in the field or volunteering as a baseball coach after business hours, we wanted to provide our employees with the knowledge and skills to help save a life if they ever find themselves in an emergency.  Below is an overview of what our employees learned over the two-part course.

It is important to learn how to read Energy Guide Labels when in the market for new home appliances. Energy Guide Labels show the annual energy consumption and average operation costs for each appliance. They also reflect an appliance’s energy efficiency range. The more efficient the unit is, the cheaper it will be to operate it. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires manufacturers to put these yellow and black labels on most, but not all, new appliances. For HVAC equipment, you will find Energy Guide Labels on the following products: Central Air Conditioners Boilers Furnaces Heat Pumps Water Heaters Room Air Conditioners
