Each upgrade works to improve energy efficiency, protect your system from potential damage, and ensure cleaner air in your home. At Phillips Family Air, we’re dedicated to helping you get the most out of your HVAC system with reliable, professional installations of these upgrades.
Surge Protectors
Southwest Florida is the #1 lightning capital of the world! Power surges caused by lightning or electrical malfunctions can severely damage your HVAC unit. Installing a surge protector can shield your system from these unpredictable spikes, helping to prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
UV Lights
UV lights inside your HVAC system are a powerful way to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and mold spores that can circulate through your home. By installing a UV light system, you can significantly improve indoor air quality, reduce allergens, and create a healthier living environment.
Air Purification Systems
An air purification system works in conjunction with your HVAC unit to filter out pollutants, dust, pollen, and pet dander from the air. This system will kill 99.9% of COVID-19 causing virus AND 88% of mold spores within 24 hrs and 99.9% after that. This upgrade is especially beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory conditions, as it ensures cleaner, fresher air in your home. We only sell OZONE FREE SYSTEMS!
Turbo Capacitors
A turbo capacitor can provide extra starting torque for motors and compressors, helping them start up more efficiently and with less strain. This upgrade is especially beneficial in hot climates like Southwest Florida, where HVAC systems are frequently running at full capacity. It helps reduce the wear and tear on your system, leading to fewer breakdowns.
Hard and Soft Start Kits for Compressors & Motors
Upgrading to a hard or soft start kit can protect your system’s compressor and motors by reducing the initial surge of electricity required when starting up. Hard start kits give the compressor a powerful boost to help it start quickly, while soft start kits gradually ease the system into operation, reducing stress on components and preventing overheating. Both upgrades help your system run more smoothly and extend its lifespan.
WiFi Thermostats
With a Wi-Fi thermostat, you gain complete control over your home’s climate from anywhere. This is especially important for vacation homes for when humidity and tempature needs to be monitored daily to avoid any mold growth. Adjust your home’s temperature remotely, set energy-saving schedules, and monitor performance with ease. Many modern Wi-Fi thermostats even learn your preferences and optimize settings to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency.
Corrosion Inhibitors for Outdoor Units
Outdoor HVAC units are constantly exposed to the elements, making them vulnerable to rust and corrosion. Installing corrosion inhibitors protects the metal components of your outdoor unit, particularly in coastal areas with salty air, which can cause significant damage over time. This simple upgrade helps extend the life of your system and maintain its efficiency.
Coil Guard
Coil guard offer essential protection for the delicate coils in your HVAC system, which are responsible for heat exchange. This protectant help prevent damage from debris, dirt, and physical impact, ensuring your system runs smoothly and maintains its efficiency over time.
