Indoor air quality matters. In fact, it can make a big difference to your comfort at home—especially if you or your family members have asthma or allergies. That’s why it’s important to have certified professionals install your air quality equipment, whether it’s a single unit or a whole-home air quality system.
The Importance of Indoor Air Quality
- According to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), the level of indoor pollutants is usually two to five times higher than that of outdoor levels. In some cases, indoor pollutants can be 100 times more damaging than outdoor equivalents.
- On average, people spend 90% of their lives indoors.
- Good indoor air quality in workplaces enables an ideal working environment for staff to complete tasks with a clear head and, in turn, is likely to lead to a greater standard of work being done.
- Poor air quality can lead to coughs, eye irritations and headaches in the short-term, and possibly more serious long-term problems if exposure to indoor air pollution is continuous.
- Exposure to indoor air pollution could lead to prolonged illnesses which would result in a person needing to take time off work, thus hampering productivity. Indeed, poor air quality results in a loss of productivity estimated to be worth tens of billions of pounds worldwide.
UV Light Air Cleaners
A UV light cleaner is installed into the ductwork of your HVAC system. The rays radiated by an ultraviolet lamp break up the cellular structure and destroy microorganisms such as germs, viruses, bacteria and mold. UV air purifiers can practically eliminate germs inside your ventilation system, significantly reducing the amount of unclean air delivered into your home. See our page about UV Air Cleaners.
Whole-House Humidifiers
Unlike portable humidifiers, whole-house humidifiers monitor the relative humidity in your home and produce exactly the right levels of moisture. Another advantage is that the filter only needs to be replaced once a year, versus the daily cleaning and disinfecting that portable units often require. See our page about Home Humidifiers.
Whole-House Dehumidifiers
Do you need a whole-house dehumidifier? The warning signs of excessive humidity include sticky or sweaty floors, mold or mildew anywhere in your home, musty odors, condensation on your water pipes or a clammy feeling on your skin. See our page about Home Dehumidifiers.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
You can protect your family by having carbon monoxide detectors installed in your home. A carbon monoxide detector senses when an unsafe level of the gas is in the air, and sounds an alarm. Just like smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors should be placed in different rooms, hard-wired into your home’s electrical wiring, and tested monthly. See our page about Carbon Monoxide Detectors.
