About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Christopher Mickey Discusses Simple HVAC Upgrades for Better Indoor Air Quality

By: Zexprwire

Florida, US, 2nd April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a crucial but often overlooked factor in maintaining a healthy home. In a recent feature article, entrepreneur and HVAC expert Christopher Mickey shares valuable insights on how homeowners can improve their indoor air with simple HVAC upgrades. With years of experience in real estate and HVAC, Mickey has seen firsthand how neglected or outdated systems can negatively impact air quality.

“Your home’s air quality affects everything from allergies to long-term health,” says Mickey. “Fortunately, small changes can make a big difference, and it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.”

The Importance of Upgrading Air Filters

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve IAQ is by using high-quality air filters. Many homes rely on standard filters that only catch large dust particles, but upgrading to high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters or filters with a high Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating can significantly reduce allergens and pollutants. Mickey emphasizes the need to choose a filter compatible with your HVAC system to avoid restricting airflow.

Whole-Home Purifiers and Smart Thermostats

For those looking to take air quality to the next level, whole-home air purifiers are a great option. These systems integrate directly with HVAC units, eliminating airborne contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.

Mickey also highlights the benefits of smart thermostats, which monitor air quality, track humidity levels, and alert homeowners when it’s time to change air filters. “A smart thermostat can help homeowners take better control of their indoor air quality,” he explains. “By automating maintenance reminders and optimizing airflow, it’s an easy upgrade that offers long-term benefits.”

Improving Ventilation and Humidity Control

Another key factor in air quality is ventilation. Many modern homes are tightly sealed for energy efficiency, which can lead to stale air and pollutant buildup. Mickey recommends solutions like Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) to ensure fresh air circulation. Simple steps like using exhaust fans and opening windows when weather permits can also make a difference.

Controlling humidity is another essential step. High humidity can encourage mold growth, while air that’s too dry can cause respiratory irritation. Mickey advises homeowners to consider dehumidifiers or humidifiers, depending on their climate, to maintain optimal humidity levels between 30% and 50%.

Regular HVAC Maintenance Matters

Mickey stresses the importance of routine HVAC maintenance, which includes cleaning air ducts, inspecting components, and sealing air leaks. “Your HVAC system is the heart of your home’s air quality,” he says. “Regular servicing keeps it running smoothly and prevents problems that could impact your health and comfort.”

Conclusion

Improving indoor air quality doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By making a few simple HVAC upgrades—such as installing better filters, using smart thermostats, improving ventilation, and scheduling regular maintenance—homeowners can create a healthier living environment.

For those looking for personalized solutions, working with a trusted HVAC professional can ensure the best results. As Mickey puts it, “Small steps today lead to a healthier, more comfortable home for years to come.”
