Cooling Things Down Leads to Allergies and Asthma?!

Posted on by Gillece

Cranking up the air conditioner is great for comfort… but, what about those dirty air ducts?

If you haven’t used your home air cooling system on a recent warm Pittsburgh day, chances are you’ve at least tested it for use.  Soon, you and your loved ones will be enjoying the warmth of spring and summer, while also staying comfortable in your very own home with cooled forced air from your central air conditioner cooling your environment.  But, wait just a minute!  Have you ever thought about the cleanliness of your cooling air ducts?  The very pathways through which cool air travels and is delivered to you…?  If not, you’ll want to think about it and fast.

Dirty air ducts no doubt affect the quality of your home’s air which affects what you breathe which affects your health.  Cooling air ducts that are dark, damp, and dirty offer an excellent breeding ground for mold, fungi, and dust mites which can spread rapidly when air ducts are in actual use to cool your home.  Pet hair, pet dander, dust mites’ feces, pollen, decaying organic matter, residue from chemicals and household products, viruses, bacteria, skin flakes, etc. are typically trapped within your home – your home’s “indoor air” – specifically, your home’s air ducts.  Gillece Services knows that many of these unwanted elements cause discomfort and infections, and can trigger and often enhance allergy and asthma problems and symptoms.

Cleaner cooling air ducts always lead to better air quality within your home.  Have your air ducts cleaned by a professional Gillece HVAC Cooling Technician now.  Our technicians are skilled certified to thoroughly assess and clean the ductwork of your entire household and we come prepared with all of the right equipment and tools necessary.  If you’re not completely convinced by this point, there are other reasons in addition to health benefits to get those air ducts cleaned properly.  The operation of your ductwork will actually improve due to the fact that air flow is pushing through effectively, which yes, can indeed assist in reducing your utility bills.  You’ll also see a noticeable difference in the amount of dust in your home.  Plus, clean air ducts mean clean-smelling – no musty odors.  Finally, air is more evenly distributed, so rooms are more balanced and comfortable.

Gilley says, “Fly south for winter? What winter? I’m sticking around for spring with Gillece!”

Posted on by Gillece

Believe it or not, spring is less than one month away – March 20, 2012 – and with such a mild Pittsburgh winter this year, we’ve barely even noticed that we had one – a winter, that is!  Pretty soon we’ll be springing our clocks forward, putting away our next-to-hardly-used shovels and salt bags, changing our smoke alarm batteries, preparing our flower gardens for what’s to come….. but, sometimes we overlook a few very critical household issues.

Sometimes we overlook that our Central Air Conditioning System has been asleep for at least 3 months.  Not used; not checked – without maintenance.  How do we honestly know if it will even turn on when we click the switch?  Does it still match up to manufacturer’s standards?  Will it live up to its own efficiency and/or is it time to consider something even better?

A great place to start is with Gillece’s $19.95 A/C Maintenance Check.* Just like your vehicle, your Central Air Conditioning System needs cared for; needs maintenance; needs kept up with…  Get a complete overall A/C inspection, complete A/C safety inspection, freon checked, all controls checked, drains checked, and filter checked for only $19.95 with Gillece Services.  An ounce of prevention can actually help save you time and money in the upcoming spring and summer seasons.  Getting you’re A/C  Check-Up before you turn it on can prevent potential major damage in the near future as beginning symptoms can be evident during the maintenance service.

Another key thing to remember is the very pathways through which cooled air travels and is delivered to the rooms in your home.  So, you’ve got the A/C checked and working, but…have you considered your air ducts?  Dirty air ducts affect the quality of your home’s air.  Pet hair, pet dander, dust mites’ feces, pollen, decaying organic matter, residue from chemicals and household products, viruses, bacteria, skin flakes, etc. are typically trapped within your home’s air ducts and can trigger and often enhance allergy and asthma problems and symptoms.

The cleanliness of your ductwork system actually improves its operation as air flow is pushing through more effectively, which can assist in reducing utility bills.  You’ll also see a difference in the amount of dust in your home; and, clean air ducts means no musty odors.  Air is more evenly distributed, and rooms are more balanced and comfortable.

So, get ready now to spring forward – Call Gillece!

Gilley asks, “Don’t you and your family deserve to breathe cleaner, healthier air?

Gilley Says, “Be sure to check with your utility companies about rebates for purchasing energy-saving equipment – Gillece has qualifying products!”

Posted on by Gillece

How old is your furnace?  Boiler?  Water heater?  Are you finding that these major pieces of household equipment require annual repair… or, perhaps they are just not performing up-to-speed?  Well, how would you like the opportunity to purchase a new furnace, or new boiler, or new water heater for performance efficiency and energy efficiency while saving on your utility bills?  And, how would you like all of this, plus… a monetary rebate!  Who wouldn’t?

Gillece Plumbers and HVAC (Heating and Cooling) Technicians are experts at professionally diagnosing major household equipment such as furnaces, boilers, water heaters, etc. when problems arise.  They are often sent out to customers’ homes the same day they call in an effort to figure out how to get the heat back on, the air conditioning started, the water hot again, and so forth.  They are also often faced with educating customers that it may be time for a new furnace, a new boiler, or a new water heater, etc. and will offer sound recommendations with pricing, along with the option of applicant credit-approved financing payment plans.

Sometimes repairs can no longer help a situation and/or the equipment is simply too old and needs replaced.  Other times, it just may be that the customer prefers an energy efficient product for their home.  Either way, the possibility of a new purchase may be in order.  And, here is when you’ll want to check with your local utility companies about potential rebates and offerings in exchange for the purchase of an energy efficient furnace, boiler, water heater, etc.  You can also ask your Gillece Technician for assistance and then come to a mutual decision about what is right for you.

For example, right now, Equitable Gas has what’s called the SAVER Program (Smart Audits & Valuable Energy Rebates) wherein “monetary rebates are available to Equitable Gas residential customers in Pennsylvania who improve the energy efficiency of their homes by purchasing and installing qualified energy efficient natural gas home heating and/or water heating equipment.”*  And, the best part is…  Gillece has qualifying products for this program!  Duquesne Light is now providing an Energy Efficiency Rebate Program for its “residential customers for purchasing and installing energy-saving equipment including dehumidifiers, freezers, refrigerators, air conditioning units, ceiling insulation, programmable thermostats, house fans, indoor and outdoor lighting, pipe wrap, insulation, controls, and pool pumps.”**  Gillece also has qualifying products such as thermostats and A/C units.

If your considering making your home more energy efficient, or are simply in need of an emergency replacement, call and ask your gas company or electric company about the possibility of these rebate programs.  Note:  for most up-to-date programs including their offerings and qualifying products, please visit your utility websites and/or call them directly, as everything is subject to change…  and then – Call Gillece!

New Gillece Service – Interior and Exterior Home Waterproofing!

Gilley asks, “Is unwanted water creating problems for your home and family – such as mold, dampness, cracked walls…Call Gillece?”

Posted on by Gillece

Gillece takes Waterproofing Systems to the next level!  The Proof is in The Results…

Have you seen water in your basement – anything from subtle moist concrete to an actual collective puddle, or more?  Have you seen water gathering in areas on the exterior of your home – near and/or around the home’s perimeter?  Much like any problem – the more you ignore it, the worse it could get.  And, it terms of your home’s inner (basement) and outer lower ground levels, water is the enemy!  Unmanaged, out-of-place water can cause a vast array of loss, expense, and damage.  It can create mold, attract unwanted bugs, ruin precious (sometime irreplaceable) personal items, rot wood, rust metals, destruct the finish of plywood and other laminated materials, and worst of all, affect the very foundation upon which your home is built.

Gillece Services Waterproofing capabilities work to remove these problems and “dry things out,” while our MicroPower Guard Air Filtration System cleans your entire household’s air quality to an extraordinary level of purification.  With a purposefully designed and strategically installed Gillece Expert French Drain Indoor/Outdoor Waterproofing Systems with MicroPower Guard Air Filtration – all water and its sources are  discovered, collected, and rerouted to an appropriate, designated location on the outside of your home.  (Interior Waterproofing Systems come complete with Sump Pump.*)

The MircoPower Guard removes 97% of all particle pollutants as low as .3 micron in size – which is amazing, considering that 98% of all airborne contaminants are indeed actually less than 1 micron in size.  An active electromagnetic field captures the smallest, most submicron airborne particles and guards you from the negative health effects of their inhalation.  Not to mention, most standard air filters can’t capture anything less than 2.5 (and up to 5) micron in size.

Your Gillece Waterproofing System takes all water worries away – your home is protected – and, The Proof is in The Results with an exceptional French Drain Lifetime Warranty!*

*Sump Pump applies to Interior Gillece Waterproofing System only.  Warranty applies to French Drain only.  Estimates available from 8:00a.m.– 7:00p.m. No trip charge.  Single-family residences only.  Residential customers only.  Does not apply to rental/landlord-tenant property.  Does not apply to commercial property.  Additional restrictions may apply.  Please call for complete details.
