Morning, everybody! I'm here with your Saturday edition of the Huntsville Patch newsletter, filled with all the things you need to know about what's happening locally.

Also, FYI: Patch is looking for a local writer and entrepreneur to take the helm of the Huntsville Patch newsletter and make it their own. We want to pass the torch to someone truly local and in-the-know to write about Huntsville long term. So if you’re interested in earning extra income while making this newsletter a more valuable resource for your neighbors, learn more and apply here.

Today's newsletter is sponsored by Aire Serv

How to ensure you have comfortable, clean air in your home

Home heating and A/C has come a long way. Old systems used simple slide-in box filters that captured only large particles and that any do-it-yourselfer could change.

Today’s systems are more sophisticated — and much more effective. They utilize electrostatic or even HEPA filters, UV and UVC light to kill mold, bacteria and viruses. The result is much cleaner indoor air — a boon for pet owners, people with allergies and anyone concerned about airborne pathogens, like Covid.

But to take advantage of this technology for your home, you need the highest quality HVAC experts and technicians. That’s where the folks at Aire Serv of Huntsville come in. Scott Taylor and his team have over 30 years of experience in HVAC systems and work with the latest technology. They can install a new air quality system, or — for just $13.25 a month — maintain your current system, to make sure it’s running efficiently.

As a member of the Neighborly family of companies, Aire Serv offers up-front pricing, red carpet customer service and the ‘Done Right Promise’: if you’re unhappy for any reason, call within 60 days and Aire Serv will make it right.

For clean air in your home, reach out to Scott and the Huntsville Aire Serv team today.

Here are the top three stories in Huntsville today:

1. For the second time in less than a year, a car has crashed into Bramlett's Hair Images in south Huntsville. On Friday morning, the Huntsville Police Department arrived at the scene after receiving reports of a vehicle through the building. Despite the accident, the business continued to operate; no charges are expected as the incident is classified as an accident. (WAFF)
2. Huntsville International Airport (HSV) has teamed up with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to assess technologies that aim to improve aircraft protection from unmanned aircraft systems, commonly referred to as drones. The FAA will conduct tests on systems designed to identify and/or minimize potential aviation safety hazards posed by drones. HSV is among the five airports where the assessment will be conducted. (WHNT News 19)
3. The Huntsville Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in finding a construction vehicle reportedly stolen over the weekend. The silver 2005 Ford F-350, emblazoned with a business logo reading "Budget Roofing," was allegedly taken from the parking lot of 200 Oakwood Avenue on Mar. 11. Anyone with information is asked to contact the department at (256) 722-7100. (WHNT News 19)
