What's Your IAQ?
What does IAQ stand for? How do I find out what my IAQ is? Can my IAQ be improved and how?
If you find yourself asking these questions about your home, you're not alone. IAQ stands for Indoor Air Quality, and every home or buildings' is different. With tighter home construction, indoor air quality has declined dramatically. Statistics show that the most common problem is particle allergens (dust, dander, pollen, spores, bacteria, etc.) which can be found in 91% of all homes. This is because air inside your home can contain up to 70 times more pollution than the air outside. These contaminants are found in drip pans, ductwork, coils and humidifiers of the HVAC system or drawn in from outdoors.
Imagine your ductwork as the respiratory system of your house. All the things that affect your breathing such as dust, mold, pet hair and dander also affect your heating and cooling system. They create decreased flow in the duct work and they also decrease the efficiency of your unit. The best way to combat this is multi-tiered and custom to your homes' needs. Duct cleanings, UV lights, high efficiency air filtration, dryer vent cleanings, and Whole House Comfort Checkups are just a few of the many solutions we offer.
