Indoor Air Quality

Every individual responds differently to the quality of Indoor air. Consistent issues with humidity levels and allergens can cause IAQ problems that could lead to health issues

The severity of these issues depends on where you live, season, lifestyle (smoking etc), activities, condition of HVAC equipment, and presence of building materials

In the Spring, pollen is a major factor in air quality which severely impacts a significant number of individuals every year in the US. Leaky or dirty ductwork can impact the quality of the air. Building materials are capable of releasing VOCs, which could be carcinogenic

Electronic Air Cleaners (EAC): Also knows as ionizers or Electronic Air Purifiers, they traps large particles via a pre-filter. Then, electrically charged filter like components trap smaller particles (such as bacteria and mold) to prevent them from recirculating through your home

Humidifiers: Low levels of humidity allow air pollutants to remain in the air. Installing a humidifier will help decrease these instances and improve your health. The different types of humidifiers are Manual Bypass, Fan-powered and Steam. Steam humidifiers offer the best humidification possible. However, they are pretty expensive

DeHumidifiers: High levels of humidity facilitate the growth of mold, and mold spores could be dangerous to your health. The chances of this is high especially in basements. Operating a De-humidifier pulls the water content from the surrounding air and empties as condensation into a drain. This results in a decreased chance in the  growth of harmful bacteria and mold

Air Scrubber Plus: Air Scrubber Plus® is an exclusive new system designed to help improve air quality by reducing air pollutants, VOCs (chemical odors), cigarette smoke, dust, pollen, mold, odor-causing bacteria, and odors caused by pets and cooking. ActivePure™ technology cleans, freshens, and purifies the air using a specialized germicidal light along with a proprietary catalytic process that creates enviroscrubbing molecules of oxygen and hydrogen, just like nature’s outdoor scrubbers

Fresh Air Exchanger (ERV/HRV): Moving stale air outside your home or business is a must to improve indoor air quality. For most businesses, it is required by local codes. Mechanical ventilation systems let air in and exhaust contaminated air out at a set rate. This helps prevent allergies and other air borne diseases especially in a closed setting

UV Lamps: Germicidal UV lights installed in the main ductwork destroy dangerous bacteria as they pass through these lights. For effectiveness of these lights, the air movement should be relatively slow to give sufficient time for the germs to be exposed to the UV light
