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:
Benefits of 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.
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.
