Welcome to HQ Solution LLC’s Tips of the Week! 🌟 Living in Myrtle Beach means battling high humidity, salty air, and seasonal allergens—all of which impact your home’s air quality.
Each week, we’ll share actionable tips to:
✅ Improve indoor air quality
✅ Extend HVAC lifespan
✅ Prevent mold & odors
✅ Save money on energy bills
Let’s dive in!
Tip #1: Change Your HVAC Filter Monthly (Especially in Summer!)
Why It Matters:
- Clogged filters reduce airflow, forcing your AC to work harder
- Dust & allergens recirculate, worsening allergies & asthma
Pro Tip:
- Use MERV 8-11 filters for optimal balance of airflow & filtration
- Set a phone reminder every 30 days
Myrtle Beach Hack:
After beach days, vacuum around vents—sand & salt accelerate filter clogs!
Tip #2: Run Bathroom Fans for 30+ Minutes After Showers
The Problem:
- Excess humidity leads to mold growth (common in coastal bathrooms)
- Peeling paint or warped baseboards? That’s moisture damage!
Solution:
- Timer switch upgrade: Automates fan runtime
- Annual duct cleaning: Prevents mold in exhaust vents
Did You Know?
60% of Myrtle Beach mold cases start in bathrooms!
Tip #3: Schedule Dryer Vent Cleaning Before Peak Summer
Danger Signs:
- Clothes take 2+ cycles to dry
- Burning smell when running
- Excess lint around the outdoor vent
Why Urgent?
- Lint fires spike in summer (SC sees 150+ yearly)
- Clogs overheat your dryer, cutting its lifespan
