Indoor Air Quality Systems – Humidifiers, Air Cleaners & Purifiers
We offer humidifiers, air cleaners and air purifiers as part of our residential HVAC system services. We can address your concerns on the air in your home. Humidity can play a big part in determining the air quality in your home. Excessive humidity can help mold to grow. Not enough humidity can cause other problems such as dry throat, dry skin and irritated sinuses. Air humidifiers can provide a number of other benefits as well, such as:
- Relieving coughs, cold, flu, and hay fever
- Decreasing static electricity
- Improving the atmosphere and air quality of your home
- Moisturizing the respiratory system, allowing easier breathing for asthma sufferers
- Reducing dust particles and killing bacteria
- Protecting wooden objects such as floors as furniture from cracking or warping
When installing your new humidifier, you should keep a few things in mind. First, make sure that the humidity level is kept at around 30% - 40%. This will keep your room comfortable without encouraging the growth of mold spores. Next, make sure your humidifier has a slightly larger coverage area than the room it is placed in, as manufacturers tend to exaggerate their coverage.
If you want to improve the air quality in your home, but you don’t think a humidifier is right for you, consider an air purifier. Air purifiers improve air quality by pulling microbes, odors, gasses, chemical fumes and particulates out of the air. Air purifiers can provide wonderful health benefits to people with asthma, allergies, COPD or other respiratory problems. There are many different models of air purifiers on the market, and all of them target different pollutants in your air, so be sure to take your own needs into account when you are investing in an air purifier. For instance, if your primary concern is allergens (pollen, pet dander, etc.) you will want to go with a HEPA filter air purifier. If odors are a problem in your home, an ozone or carbon filter air purifier will benefit you more. And if you are concerned by the amount of bacteria or viruses in your air, an ultraviolet light air purifier will sterilize them, meaning microorganisms will no longer be able or reproduce and grow.
We also offer the Sanuvox UV Air Purifier Products. UV light is used to eliminate germs and odors from the air you breathe. We also offer several options of Indoor Air Cleaners for removal of dust, pollen, pet dander and other contaminates.
We spend so much time indoors, especially in the colder months, it just make sense to do all we can to keep the air clean as possible.
