The air you breathe indoors can contain harmful particles. Some of them can build up inside your home, such as mold spores, pet dander, dust, or tobacco smoke. Others can come from the outside, including pesticides, pollen, and other allergens or pollutants.
Poor air quality can take a toll on your health. Exposure to high levels of indoor pollutants can increase your risk of developing respiratory diseases like asthma, COPD, or even certain types of cancer. Young children, the elderly, and pets are particularly vulnerable to poor IAQ.
If you have been experiencing headaches, congestion, unexplained fatigue, and other respiratory symptoms, you should consider improving your IAQ immediately.
Air quality issues usually indicate that your home or place of business lacks proper ventilation or insulation. Addressing this problem should be a priority since it can lead to harmful particles building up over time and can even increase the risks of outbreaks, especially in high-occupancy buildings.
There might also be issues with a fuel-burning appliance releasing pollutants into the air you breathe or humidity problems causing mold to spread.
Keeping your HVAC system in optimal shape is important for preserving indoor air quality. An outdated or malfunctioning A/C system can draw in pollutants from the outside and allow harmful particles to build up inside your home or place of business.
We can help improve your IAQ by testing your home or place of business. Our experts can look for traces of mold and other common culprits before developing a remediation plan.
As part of our HVAC maintenance services, we can also change your AC filters and clean clogged ducts. These simple steps can significantly improve IAQ by preventing dust and other debris from building up inside your ducts.
If poor indoor air quality is a recurring issue, we offer ductwork design services to create a more effective A/C system and improve ventilation. We can also upgrade your home or place of business with a ductless system to avoid drawing pollutants from the outside.
Another common solution we offer is the installation of air cleaners and air purifiers. For instance, we can install Aprilaire Humidifiers and Air Cleaners to enhance comfort, maintain healthy humidity levels, and purify the air you breathe.
Alternatively, Guardian Air Purifiers feature advanced filtration systems to remove harmful particles from your indoor air and create a healthier environment.
