How to Improve Your Home's Air Quality
Helpful tips to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in your home
Between school, work and home life, we spend most of our time indoors – this fact makes it important to know household air can contain anywhere from two to five times the amount of pollutants of outdoor air*.
When a home has poor air quality, the chances of respiratory issues, allergies, asthma, headaches, and other illnesses increase. Ensuring your indoor air is clean is the first step to boost the health of your home. And the first step to improve home indoor air quality starts with your HVAC system.
When your home's IAQ improves, airborne irritants and bacterial or viral growth are mitigated.
Improved IAQ reduces the need for constant temperature adjustment, which helps boost energy savings throughout the year.
Improved humidity control and fewer airborne irritants can help make your home more comfortable.
Control Indoor Humidity Levels
The amount of humidity in your home directly affects your comfort level. Higher humidity causes your home to feel too hot, and lower humidity levels can cause it to feel too cool. Humidity imbalance also acts as a breeding ground for irritants like mold, bacteria, and viruses. Our humidifiers and dehumidifiers integrate with your home HVAC system for quiet and effective adjustment of humidity levels. With optimal humidity levels, your air becomes more healthy, your comfort more consistent, and your energy costs reduced.
Balance Indoor Air with Outdoor Air
While a well-sealed home can maintain desired temperatures more consistently, an air-tight seal can also result in irritant and pollutant buildup. By allowing fresh air in your home, you can improve indoor air quality. The best way to introduce fresh air, regardless of outdoor conditions, is through the use of a ventilator. A ventilator allows for fresh air year-round while also removing stale air from the home. Ventilators can also boost HVAC system efficiency thanks to the recovery of warm or cool exhaust air for heating and cooling.
Indoor Air Purifying
No matter how clean your home, indoor air can still be dirty. Whole-home air purification systems are an integrated, seamless way to reduce irritating airborne particles by up to 98%. By capturing irritants like pollen, pet dander, dust, most bacteria, and some viruses, you can improve IAQ. Air purification is particularly useful for pet owners, asthma suffers, or if interested in how to reduce allergens in home.
Your HVAC system keeps you cool during the summer via the indoor coil. Coils produce condensation, which can become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. An ultraviolet germicidal light destroys the DNA of mold and bacteria. Ultraviolet germicidal lights are easily installed in the ductwork of your system and help improve the efficiency of your system.
The integration of indoor air quality products into your home HVAC system, rather than stand-alone, single-space products, helps continually improve IAQ in every room. Plus, with HVAC integration, you benefit from an increase in HVAC system efficiency and improved energy savings.
Why is Indoor Air Quality Important?
Ideal for people sensitive to airborne viruses, bacteria or mold particles. Reduces allergens and mold particles by up to 99%. Cuts airborne dust by 98%.
Saves energy. Cleans air every time your HVAC system is running. Lower air flow resistance, which decreases fan energy use.
Easier to maintain. Annual filter replacement. No moving parts in filter media.
