Benefits of Healthy Indoor Air
Home-sweet-home — it's your private domain, a place where you should never have to worry about air pollution. Ensuring the air inside your home is free of harmful contaminants offers a broad range of health benefits for you and your loved ones.
How Poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Impacts Your Health
From dust mites and pet dander to chemicals emitted from synthetic furnishings, airborne irritants are ubiquitous in the average American home. The smaller the particulate, the greater its effect on your health. That’s because particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter get inhaled deep into your lungs and can even enter your bloodstream. While prolonged exposure to pollutants impacts every family member, those with existing heart or lung disease are especially vulnerable to poor IAQ.
Adding Up the Benefits of Healthy Indoor Air
Removing pollutants from the air you breathe helps keep your lungs healthy. It also safeguards your well-being against allergens that can take a toll on your health over time. Breathing unpolluted air also makes it easier to get a good night’s sleep. In addition, filtering our particulates from the air helps to eliminate odors, making your home a more pleasant place to inhabit year-round.
Explore Your Indoor Air Quality Options
By improving ventilation and air filtration, a quality HVAC installation lets you breathe cleaner, healthier air. Our licensed HVAC contractors also offer a variety of effective IAQ products, including:
- Installed near an AC system’s evaporator coil, UV lights eliminate harmful bacteria at the source.
- Air purifiers installed in your HVAC ductwork help keep pollutants from circulating through your home over and over.
- Air humidifiers and dehumidifiers balance humidity levels, reducing the number of biological pollutants present in the air you breathe.
