How To Improve Indoor Air Quality
The indoor air quality in your home or office can have a big impact on your health. Indoor air quality isn’t only affected by particles and other contaminants. Other factors include temperature, ventilation, and humidity.
There are several things you can do to improve indoor air quality, including:
- Ventilation: Make sure your home is well-ventilated. Open windows and doors when weather permits and use fans to circulate air. Consider installing an air purifier to remove contaminants from the air.
- Air Filters: Clean or change air filters as recommended; HVAC equipment will work more efficiently.
- Air Ducts: Inspect air ducts for dust and dander buildup; pollutants can easily recirculate into your home.
- Humidity: Lower the humidity; that can improve comfort, prevent damaging condensation, and impede mold growth.
- Carpets: Clean carpets and rugs; dust and dirt caught in fibers can be released into the air.
- Kitchen Vents: Use vents while cooking; they remove smoke and airborne toxins, while keeping your kitchen cooler.
- Cleanliness: Keep your indoor space clean and free of dust, mold, and other allergens. Vacuum regularly, using a HEPA filter if possible, and damp mop hard surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals, opt for natural cleaning products instead.
- Plants: Plants help to purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Place a few plants around your indoor space for an added boost of fresh air.
Indoor Air Quality Services We Offer
If you have known indoor air quality issues or unexplained symptoms, our air quality specialists can visit and thoroughly assess your home. Trained technicians will help determine what kinds of services and solutions are needed. You can depend on us for IAQ services such as:
Air Quality Testing:
At Elmer’s Air Conditioning and Plumbing, we have the tools and equipment to check for common sources of indoor air pollution, including Volatile Organic Compounds, construction materials, mold, pesticides, asbestos, cleaning products, and radon. All samples are laboratory tested with a high degree of accuracy. We’ll not only find what is polluting the air in your home; we can also determine how much of it there is and where it’s coming from.
Air Duct Sealing:
Leaking ducts can lose 30% of the air circulating in your home. In addition to straining the HVAC system and increasing the humidity level, leaks also allow in all kinds of pollution. Sealing leak points and repairing cracks resolves leakage and any issues it causes. In addition, we can provide airflow testing to check how your HVAC system is performing in terms of temperature, humidity, and airflow pressure.
Air Duct Cleaning Service:
Ductwork can become very unsanitary. Dust, dirt, mold, pet hair, pollen, and other contaminants can build up inside ducts, clog up HVAC components, restrict airflow, and continuously circulate throughout the rooms in your home. Air duct cleaning allows the system to run more efficiently and can alleviate the symptoms of indoor air quality issues.
Indoor Air Quality Products We Offer
Maintaining excellent IAQ also requires having products that continue to keep your indoor air clean and healthy to breathe. At Elmer’s Home Services we provide some of the top indoor air quality products on the market, including:
- Air Scrubbers: A knowledgeable technician will evaluate your home to determine the best type and size of air cleaner to install. Efficiency is based on how many cubic feet the system is designed for. Call today to learn more about our air cleaners.
- Air Purification System: These air quality systems include everything from smaller one room units to whole-house indoor air purification systems that can help reduce or even eliminate airborne particles, bacteria, and some viruses with the use of medical grade UV technology. They also remove chemical, vapor, mold, and mildew odors.
- Air Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers: The best indoor humidity level is from 35% to 45%. If humidity is too low, the air will be too dry; if it’s too high, moisture can lead to condensation and mold. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers can keep the moisture in your home at an ideal level.
- Ventilators: Home ventilation systems can get rid of humid, stuffy air indoors and bring in fresh air from outside. High-end systems sense the temperature and humidity inside to determine how to operate, which also provides energy efficiency.
