Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Air quality is highly susceptible to change because of multiple influencing factors. It’s a good idea to schedule IAQ testing at least every other year. Through testing, we can identify the pollutants and contaminants present in your home. That includes radon, which is a leading cause of lung cancer. Our tests can also reveal problems with allergens, mold, moisture, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and much more.

A whole-house air purification system is one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s IAQ. These air cleaners usually have mechanical filtration, such as a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. HEPA filters remove over 99% of all particulate matter. Often, these systems will also have charcoal to absorb unpleasant odors, gases, and chemicals. We also recommend in-duct UV lamps. These emanate a light that kills bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises targeting a relative humidity (RH) of 30-50%. If you can’t achieve that goal naturally, we offer whole-house humidity control. Dehumidifiers help keep the RH at 50% or below. Humidifiers help keep it at 30% or above.

Your ducts play an integral role in IAQ as well. Dust and other pollutants can accumulate in the ducts. We recommend scheduling an annual inspection and having us clean them as needed. Another concern is air leakage in the ducts. It not only affects air quality but impacts heating and cooling efficiency by as much as 40%. Our team performs duct repairs and can reseal your ducts through the EPA-approved aerosol method.
