Excess moisture in your home can lead to some serious issues. Did you know that water is continuously looking for a dry surface to penetrate? Even if you’re not experiencing visible signs of moisture in your home, that doesn't mean it isn't present. It could be in your walls, subfloors, carpet, or furniture.

There are a few telltale signs that your home has too much moisture in it. If you have excess moisture you may experience a damp or musty smell. You may also notice moisture in your windows or water damage or stains on the walls and ceilings. At its worst, mold may have started to grow. A whole house dehumidifier can help.

The official start of summer is drawing near, but the heat of summer is already upon us. As it starts to warm up outside, you may have realized your home isn't quite the cool respite that it used to be.

It's no secret that having an efficient heating and cooling system is essential. You and your family need relief from hot summer days and chilly winter nights. However, one thing many homeowners don't often think about is everything that goes into an efficiently functioning HVAC system.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency the air in most people’s homes is two to five times more polluted than the air outside. Despite the cleanliness of a home, often the air is filled with toxic chemicals and allergens.

Just because your air conditioner was working fine when you shut if off last season does not mean it's going to work well this year. Worn parts could be on the verge of breaking. Air conditioner maintenance from Oliver can nip problems in the bud, keep you comfortable all summer, and reduce cooling costs.

With the weather slowly warming up and the hottest summer days ahead, it's more important than ever to have a properly working air conditioner. You do not want to end a fun day out in the scorching sun in an unbearably hot home.

Now that it’s officially spring, the end of the cold weather is in sight. With warmer weather coming, there are a lot of fun things to look forward to, such as barbecues and nice evening walks. Before the heat hits, don’t forget to schedule your attic AC tune up!

Winters can be brutal. In the case of a winter storm power outage, your pipes can be at risk for freezing if they're located in unheated areas of your home. Frozen and burst pipes can cause flooding, and repairing the damage can cost thousands of dollars. If you're able to keep your thermostat set to a warmer temperature during an icy winter, you minimize the risk of flooding caused by frozen or burst pipes.

We all enjoy being comfortable in our own home. After all, that’s what home is for. Home is the center of our family life, where we get to relax and spend quality time with the ones who matter most to us. While we’re busy kicking back and entertaining ourselves, our heat pump services us.
