Paying close attention to the indoor air quality in your Sweet Home, OR home protects your health and comfort. When contaminants like pollen, dust, mold spores, and pet dander circulate through your home in high concentrations, it can exacerbate allergies, asthma, and other chronic health problems. Our team at Mike's Heating and Air can assist with an air purifier installation. We offer various home air filtration options, targeting your specific indoor air quality culprits.
Sweet Home Indoor Air Quality Concerns
The contaminants in a home can vary from one day to the next. Allergy season can impact your residence, even if you’re trying to keep windows and doors closed. Having pets in the home can contribute to IAQ issues, as can allowing people to smoke in the home. A great way to start this process is to schedule indoor air quality testing. This is a snapshot in time of the various contaminants that you may deal with daily. Our team uses this information to determine what improvements are an option.
There are several signs that indicate IAQ problems.
- Increase in allergies or feeling unwell
- Dirty surfaces
- Frequent filter clogs
- Bad smells
While your HVAC system offers minimal filtration when your heating and cooling equipment runs, it’s not effective enough. Higher-efficiency filters, like high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, can damage your system if you simply replace your filter with one. The resulting restriction in airflow could cause permanent damage to interior components, requiring frequent repairs or even replacement. Air purifiers and whole-home systems can manage your air quality without the potential of airflow restriction.
It’s also important to control the humidity in your home. By maintaining relative humidity between 30% and 50%, you can reduce the number of contaminants in the air. A whole-home dehumidifier or humidifier installs onto your HVAC system and removes or adds moisture as your heating and cooling equipment runs.
