Wondering how you can improve the indoor air quality at your home or business? Read on to learn about the professional services from your local Aire Serv that can help you take control of the air you breathe and improve your indoor air quality (IAQ).
Recommended indoor air quality services may include:
Changing air filters regularly—at least once every two to three months for typical filters—improves air quality inside your home, cuts down on energy use, and prevents damage while prolonging the life of your heating and cooling system by reducing resistance.
Higher efficiency filters (HEPA, polarized-media air cleaners and media filters) can even reduce irritants such as mold spores, pollen, and bacteria—but they may not be compatible with your current HVAC system.
Be sure to check with an Aire Serv professional or in your owner’s manual before installing specialty filters. Installing an incompatible filter may cause damage to the HVAC system. Get the most out of your air filter with these tips.
Air cleaners improve air quality by removing harmful pollutants such as smoke, mold, viruses, pet dander and allergens. Whole-house air purifiers are more effective than portable varieties and can be added to your heating or cooling system to trap and filter pollutants. They often include features such as HEPA technology for improved filtration of the smallest particles; carbon filtration for gaseous pollutants; and UV light for disinfection.

A media filter is an HVAC filter installed between the main HVAC return duct and the blower. These filters are pleated, dense, and much more efficient than standard filters at filtering the air being circulated throughout a space.
High temperature and humidity can increase the levels of indoor pollutants. Controlling mold with a whole-house dehumidifier can help reduce allergy-causing mold and mildew. Used in conjunction with your central heating and air, whole-house dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air in your home, improving indoor air quality.

Bringing fresh air into a home or business can help to freshen the air and remove indoor contaminants. Mechanical ventilation via window fans, attic fans, energy-efficient heat recovery, and whole-house ventilators not only boosts indoor air quality, they keep your home more comfortable.
