It’s National Parks and Recreation Month!
Parks are instrumental to our communities, providing environmental and health benefits. They also offer clean air, which is an invaluable perk—and here’s why.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American only spends 7% of an entire lifetime outdoors. The other 93% is spent indoors. Why is that a problem? Well, the EPA found that indoor air pollution levels are often two to five times higher, and sometimes up to 100 times greater, than outdoor air. This means you spend the majority of your life breathing in pollutants and other harmful airborne contaminants that are proven to take a toll on your health.

From replacing an aged, inefficient air conditioner to performing a whole-house repipe, we have the expertise to resolve any HVAC, plumbing or electrical problem that challenges the comfort, safety and efficiency of your home.
