Professional Indoor Air Quality Services

It’s common for poor indoor air quality to cause several issues, including headaches, coughing, pain, fatigue, allergies, and dizziness. Your symptoms may come and go, but they’ll generally worsen when you’re home and your exposure increases. Homeowners don’t often realize that their indoor air quality is to blame.

Installing indoor air quality equipment has many benefits, including:

Fresh-smelling home

Longer-lasting HVAC equipment

Better sleep quality

Fewer allergies and respiratory illnesses

Rather than using a portable air filtration device to remove small amounts of particulate matter from single rooms, you can upgrade to a whole-house model. All the air moving through your HVAC system will go through this unit, removing up to 99.9% of the present particulate matter in some cases. The type of particulates your equipment removes will depend on the type of filter in your unit. For example, high-efficiency particulate air filters, or HEPA for short, can remove pet dander, mold spores, and even bacteria from your air.

The humidity in your home should always be between 35% and 50%. Very humid air can feel oppressive, but also hold onto more pollution. Dry air can irritate your sinuses, making you more susceptible to allergies and illnesses. You can remove excess moisture from your indoor air using a whole-house dehumidifier. You can add moisture back in using a whole-house humidifier. You can install both units and switch between them as necessary, without the hassles of portable units that need constant water emptying or refilling.

Make sure that you have a good exchange of air between the inside of your house and the outdoors. You can have our team install ventilation equipment to promote this exchange. Use any other ventilation methods you have available already, such as exhaust fans in your bathrooms and kitchen. This will help remove stale air that’s heavy with contaminants, replacing it with cleaner air.

Ductwork can become dirty over time, which results in particulate matter circulating through your home as your heating and cooling equipment functions. You should schedule a routine duct cleaning once every three to five years. Having our team perform duct sealing every couple of years can help prevent contaminants from coming into your ducts and boost energy efficiency. Our team can routinely inspect your ductwork for issues that require professional repair.

You can also protect the longevity of your heating and cooling equipment and boost air quality by reducing the amount of dust, dander, and gunk that accumulates on interior components. Make sure you change your filter regularly and stick to a filter with a MERV rating between 8 and 12.
