If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you might have a problem with your Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). We're here to help! It is extremely important that the air your breathing is safe and comfortable, at work and at home. Did you know: air inside your home is usually 4-5 times more polluted than the air outside your home?
 How is this possible? There is a growing need for energy-efficient homes in order to minimize higher energy costs. This is accomplished by "tightening" the homes when built, reducing the exchange of outdoor and indoor air. In this case, fresh outside air stays out, while air contaminants, high levels of humidity and/or excessively dry conditions get trapped inside. The air indoors can be filled with contaminants such as: Pollen, Bacteria, Pet dander, Dust mites, Mold, Lint, and more.

Why is Indoor Air Quality Important?
Poor Indoor Air Quality has been proven to cause and/or worsen many health problems. It can affect everyone, so everyone should be well-educated about the matter.
There are a number of immediate short term health effects such as: eye, nose, and throat irritation; frequent headaches; periods of dizziness and fatigue. After years of repeated or long exposure can have very serious long term effects: asthma, respiratory diseases, heart disease, and even cancer. |

What can I do to improve my IAQ?
Often times, home and/or business owners believe plug-in space purifiers and duct cleaning are complete solutions to their Indoor Air Quality problems. We'll show you this is usually never the case. Indoor Air Quality is properly maintained in a combination of three ways: Filtration, Ventilation, and Source Control.
Filtration
There are many products on the retail market that claim to provide significantly cleaner air. These products simply do not measure up to the complete air filtration systems that we offer. Whole-house air filtration systems  provide superior air quality, and safe breathable air. See how these filters work here!
- An industry-leading clean air delivery rate
- Low operating costs, with no replacement filters to buy
- Easy to clean filters
- Easy installation
- Quiet operation
- Low pressure drop
Ventilation
Ventilation is the process of replacing a portion of the indoor air with fresh outdoor air. Simply opening windows is one way to increase circulation of fresh air into your home. This however, this is an energy-wasting solution, as the energy used for heating or cooling is lost. The most efficient way to accomplish this is with a ventilation system. It automatically controls the exchange of indoor and outdoor air while recovering most of the energy used to heat or cool the air being exhausted. |
Source Control
Stop poor indoor air quality at the source, by eliminating air pollutants before they enter your home or office. Whole-house humidifiers and dehumidification systems help stop the problems before they start! When humidity levels are maintained properly, harmful contaminants such as mold, bacteria, mildew and viruses are kept from forming.
As mentioned before, Duct Cleaning is usually not a complete solution. For example, some believe the solution to mold in the ductwork or dust around registers is to clean the ducts. Makes sense, right? Wrong.
If the ducts are cleaned, the mold or dust will go away temporarily. High levels of humidity or poor filtration will inevitably make these issues return. This is because the root of the problem is not addressed. Finding the source is the first step in solving an IAQ problem. We offer complete solutions to prevent similar issues from occurring in the first place.
