Indoor Air Quality

There are several ways to improve your indoor air quality. A practical action to combat poor indoor air is regular professional maintenance of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, including regularly changing your air filter.

In addition to routine maintenance, our experienced professionals recommend different air quality systems to help keep your indoor air clean. Though we work with a wide variety of systems, here are the ones we frequently recommend:

*Humidifiers – If your home is too dry and is missing the necessary moisture for a healthy home and body, you can create many problems—both for you and inside your home. This is an issue that crops up frequently during the winter months. Having one of our professionals install a whole-house humidifier to work in tandem with your current HVAC system will keep your humidity level right where it should be.

*Dehumidifiers – Having too much moisture indoors equally causes problems. Summer humidity in particular can create problems, especially if your air conditioner is not continuously running to help address the humidity. With excess humidity, you may see condensation on your windows, furnishings, and other parts of your home. This causes mold and mildew growth as well as damage to your home and contents. A whole-house dehumidifier can be helpful in addressing too much indoor humidity.

*Ventilators – These systems help bring essential ventilation into your home, providing fresh air. Like humidifiers and dehumidifiers, we install these systems in conjunction with your heating and cooling systems. Depending on your needs, there are heat recovery ventilators (HRVs), energy recovery ventilators (ERVs)

*Air Purifiers and Cleaners – Both of these air-cleaning devices filter unwanted impurities from your home’s air, but in different ways. Air purifiers remove contaminants from the air by destroying them using an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal lamp. Air cleaners, on the other hand, have air pass through their specialized air filters, which separate the unwanted particles. Talk to one of our knowledgeable professionals to know which system is better suited for your home and needs.

*Ultraviolet (UV) Lamps – These UV lamps install directly inside your HVAC system so the light destroys the air microbes as soon as the air passes through the lamp. The cleaned air then circulates throughout your home.

*Air Filters – Air filters are a necessary part of your HVAC unit. Your filter will catch particles and debris, preventing them from entering your home’s airflow. Filters have various thicknesses, are made from different materials, and have different filtration grades. Your type of filter is contingent on your HVAC system and your needs. It’s necessary to change them regularly—we recommend at least every three to six months.

*Carbon Monoxide Alarms – Our experts install carbon monoxide alarms throughout your home to alert you immediately in the event of a dangerous, even potentially lethal, carbon monoxide leak.
