Indoor Air Quality
The Cleanliness of your System Can Affect HVAC Performance and Your Family’s Health
Did you know that each day your heating and cooling system circulates an average of 1.4 million cubic feet of air? That’s huge! So, it’s no wonder that over time the dust, dirt, pet dander, and even biological organisms drawn into the system would accumulate there and affect the air passing through.
These tiny particulates circulate in even the cleanest Nashville-area homes. They build up and drag on system performance and expose your family to increasingly dirty air. If any in your family struggle with allergies or asthma, keeping your air clean is even more important.
At Copeland and Son, we partner with thousands of mid-Tennessee homeowners each year to tackle these concerns by providing preventive maintenance on their system. That’s our part. But, the first line of defense starts with you.
Change Your Air Filters!
Whether heating or cooling your home, if your system has a filter, check and change it regularly. A dirty filter reduces airflow and makes your system work harder and use more energy to do its job. The strain can lead to costly repairs and shortened equipment life. Better than a standard filter, we offer high efficiency air cleaners and filters not available through retail stores. Ask us!
Have Your System Maintained Annually
This is where we come in. At Copeland and Son, our maintenance technicians inspect Nashville-area systems every day for common points of failure, and clean the components subject to build up. This includes your system’s blower wheel and coil. The cleanliness of these components significantly impacts your operating costs and the life expectancy of your equipment.
Both your family and equipment are healthier with the proper routine care. Your HVAC systems work day in and day out and are expensive to replace. Getting the most out of your investment just makes sense. And, if you subscribe to one of our annual preventive maintenance programs, we’ll make it easy by contacting you so you don’t forget.

The Cost of Dirt
and operating costs go up:
- “A dirty filter will slow down airflow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool – wasting energy and leading to expensive repairs and/or early system failure.” – Energy Star
- “11/8 of an inch of dirt and dust buildup on the blower wheel can reduce airflow by up to 30%” – Texas A&M Study
- “A buildup of .042 (1/20) inch of dirt on the heating or cooling coil can result in a decrease in efficiency of 21%” - Environmental Protection Agency
