Indoor Air Quality Services

How Clean is Your Air?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that indoor air quality is often worse than outdoor air quality. There are three categories of pollutants that can build up in your home: chemical contaminants, particulates (very small organic and inorganic compounds), and biological pollutants like bacteria and airborne viruses, including COVID-19.

Do you have pets in your home, suffer from allergies or asthma, or experience dry throat, skin, or eyes? If so, your home may have issues with indoor air pollution.

Here are some questions to ask yourself if you aren’t sure if your IAQ is up to par:

• Does my home have a healthy level of humidity?
• Does air circulate throughout fairly easily?
• What ventilation methods am I using at home?
• Are there chemicals and other volatile products stored inside?
• How many people are sharing this space?

You may find there are some sources of contamination lurking around your home, but don’t fret, there’s plenty you can do about it.

Improve Your IAQ

There are steps you can take right now to make way for cleaner, healthier air. First, promote ventilation the natural way by opening windows and doors to allow fresh air in. Next, use fans or window air conditioners with the vent control open to circulate air within your home.

Be sure to run the exhaust fans in your kitchen and bathrooms to help remove local contaminants (you need to open a window to let fresh air circulate inwards, too), and stick to your cleaning routine, focusing on carpets and floors where allergens can easily gather.

Regular HVAC maintenance

System maintenance will keep you one step ahead. Maintenance doesn’t only improve efficiency and extend the life of your system, it can also help your system clean your air and keep it fresh.

Regular HVAC system maintenance can include frequent filter changes, cleaning, and professional tuneups to help your HVAC system and accessories work better for you.
