Your HVAC system inside your home is one of the greatest mysteries of home ownership. As a homeowner, most people don't understand the damage that can be done to your system during simple remodeling projects or even the basic maintenance that is required to keep it running efficiently.

We bring in Mark Woodruff, Product Manager with American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning to get from the source what you can do as a homeowner to keep your system working at its peak efficiency.

We also talk about what you should be looking for if you are thinking about upgrading to a new and more efficient system. What is important when you have estimates in your hand and what you should be looking for.

Humidity and air quality are two things that you should be paying attention to in your home as both can do a significant amount of damage to you and your home if it is not managed. With today's technology it might not be as hard as you think. All this and more coming up on this new episode of Around the House with Eric G.
