Spring Clean the Air in Your Home

If you want a truly clean, healthy home this spring, you need to do spring cleaning on more than just the surfaces in your home. The air your breathe day in and day out may be dirtier than any forgotten corner in your home. Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that most homes have five times the pollutants in the air than outdoor air? It is time to spring clean the air in your home with a new air filtration system.

Improve the Air Quality in Your Home

Most homes have a plethora of contaminants that can be hiding in the air, from dust and mold to pet dander and chemicals. For many people with allergies or respiratory problems, these elements can cause serious health problems. The best way to reduce these contaminants and produce clean, healthy air in your home is to install a whole home air filtration system.

Although most HVAC systems have some filtering included to clean the air, these filters are not the same as an air filtration and purification system. With a professional system, even the tiniest particles can be removed from the air, including bacteria, viruses and mold. Not only is the air healthier to breathe, it will also be fresher and odor-free, improving the overall air quality in your home.

This spring, do a real spring cleaning on your home with the installation of a new air filtration and purification system. Many systems can be used in conjunction with your HVAC system or as separate units. Talk to your local HVAC service provider about the best options available for your home.

All About Indoor Air Quality

One of the biggest concerns people have in their homes and offices alike is the indoor air quality (IAQ), which refers to the quality of the air that the occupants breathe.   The quality is impacted by the presence of both naturally occurring items as well as man-made pollutants.  Examples of items impacting indoor air quality include plant pollen, mold spores, germs and fumes given off by building products.   All of these items ultimately impact the health of the building’s occupants with such items as asthma and other respiratory conditions. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are three means to improve indoor air quality in homes.  They include source control, improving ventilation and air cleaners.  A qualified HVAC contractor that specializes in both commercial and residential HVAC service and repair can assist in improving indoor air quality by limiting the source, improving ventilation and air cleaners. 

While the complete elimination of the sources of both naturally occurring, as well as man made pollutants is not possible, they can be greatly reduced by a modern HVAC system that brings in fresh air continuously to condition the air within the home or office building.  As the air is brought in and continuously distributed thru the HVAC system, where it is filtered using modern air filters or state of the art electronic air filters.  This process is continuous, resulting in cleaner and cleaner air for the occupants to breath, which ultimately improves the indoor air quality positively impacting the occupant’s health. 

HVAC contractors have a great deal of experience in designing and installing complete modern HVAC systems that will result in improved AIQ.   In addition, they can also make recommendations to improve and existing system quickly and economically.  There is no need to suffer from the results of bad indoor air quality!
