Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality

Do you have pets in your home?
Do you have dust accumulating around your vents? 
Does anyone have allergies or asthma?
Do you ever suffer from dry throat, dry skin, or excessive static electricity?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may have a problem with your indoor air quality (IAQ for short). Well, we're here to help! It is important that the air you are breathing is Comfortable, more importantly Safe. Did you know the air indoors is typically 4-5 times more polluted than the air outside?

How is this possible? There is a growing need for energy-efficient homes and buildings in order to minimize higher energy costs. This is accomplished by "tightening" 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 all of us 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.
