Indoor Air Quality Products & Services

Many homeowners think of indoor air quality simply in terms of heating and cooling, but there is actually a bigger picture which includes air filtration, humidification and the way all of these systems work together. Some homes have problems with pet hair, cooking smoke or pollen, while others have air that becomes too dry or humid in the summer. Every family and every home is different. In order to determine the unique needs of your home and how you can improve your indoor air quality, consider the following:

1. Are your heating and cooling bills too high?
2. Do you have pets or family members who suffer from allergies?
3. Is your indoor or outdoor unit (or both) too noisy?
4. Do you have a problem with humidity in the summer? Or dry air in the winter?
5. Are there any rooms in your home that are often too hot or too cold?
6. Do you have problems with lingering cooking odors?
7. Does your system run all the time?
8. Is your furnace constantly turning itself off and on?
9. Is your system easy to maintain, with a filter that's easy to change?
10. Do you use air fresheners in your home?
11. Have you made any recent home improvements?
12. Do you notice a lot of dust in your home?
13. Are there any smokers or hobbies that create chemical fumes?
14. Are there rooms that nee more or less heating than the rest of your home?

Air Filtration

Environmental Protection Agency studies have shown that poor indoor air quality is a factor in 50% of illnesses and that indoor pollutants can be more than 100 times higher than outdoors. Since Americans spend over 90% of their time indoors, it is not surprising that 60 million people suffer from allergies and asthma.

These problems are worse than ever before because of new construction methods that were developed to conserve your home's energy. Conserving energy is a good thing of course, but one of the unintended drawbacks of a better insulated, more tightly sealed home, is that fresh air stays out and indoor air pollutants stay trapped inside. New homes, and older homes that have been renovated, also contribute to polluted indoor air through the off-gassing of toxins embedded in carpets, paint, construction materials and new furniture.

In fact, one of the worst mistakes many parents make is renovating a nursery for a new baby and filling it up with new bedding and furniture, without including an air filtration system to deal with all the toxins that have just been added to the baby's room. Children are especially at risk when exposed to polluted air because they breathe up to three times more air per pound of their body weight than adults. High temperature and humidity levels can make the situation even worse by increasing the concentration of some pollutants.

Air filtration systems can eliminate up to 99.98% of airborne contaminants in your home, greatly reducing your family's exposure to pollutants. This means fewer colds, coughs, runny noses, itchy eyes, headaches, asthma and allergy reactions.
