Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a key component of a healthy and comfortable home in Rhode Island. However, with drastic temperature changes and high moisture levels year-round, maintaining healthy indoor air quality can be a difficult task.
At CARJON, we understand the unique climate challenges in the area and specialize in providing comprehensive ventilation solutions tailored to Rhode Island homes. Our ventilation systems are engineered to provide effective air exchange, humidity control, and temperature regulation to ensure a healthy living environment for your family.
The Impact of Ventilation on Indoor Air Quality
Ventilation is essential for removing pollutants, odors, and excess moisture from your home, and without it, your indoor air can become stagnant and contaminated. The EPA reports that unhealthy indoor air can lead to a host of health issues such as respiratory problems and heightened allergies.
Ventilation also plays a crucial role in controlling your home’s indoor humidity levels, which the EPA suggests stay in the 30-50% range. Too much moisture in the air can lead to mold growth, musty odors, and structural damage, while not enough can also result in health concerns and damage to your property.
Ventilation Solutions to Promote Healthy Indoor Air
At CARJON, we understand the importance of ventilation for Rhode Island homes, but we also know there’s not a single solution that can solve every IAQ issue. As HVAC specialists, we know that the best way to promote healthy indoor air is by attacking pollutants in a way that meets the specific needs of your home and the issues you’re experiencing.
Whole-House Air Filtration
While air purifiers can be a good solution for targeted areas of your home, whole-house filtration systems will eliminate pollutants at the source, ensuring fresh, clean air. By connecting directly to your HVAC system, whole-house filters capture particles before they get distributed through your breathing air.
At CARJON, we carry a wide selection of whole-home air filtration systems, many of which have added features like UV technology designed to kill bacteria, viruses, and mold.
Ventilation Systems
Rather than filtering indoor air, home ventilation systems are designed to exchange it with fresh air from outside to significantly reduce pollutants and create a healthier living environment for your family. Simply opening windows is one way to increase the circulation of fresh air, however, that often results in wasted energy and high utility bills.
CARJON can design a high-performance ventilation system that offers a comprehensive solution to indoor air quality issues, balances humidity, and promotes healthy airflow throughout your home.
Humidifiers/Dehumidifiers
If humidity is a recurring problem in your home, humidification or dehumidification systems can help you achieve a perfect balance. CARJON carries several systems that can either connect to your heating and cooling equipment or operate as a standalone system.
Duct Cleaning
Your home’s duct system can be a source of both energy waste and poor indoor air quality. Dust and other pollutants can accumulate in your ductwork, which will affect its performance and compromise your IAQ.
At CARJON, we offer professional duct cleaning services and our experienced technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to thoroughly clean and sanitize your ducts. Duct cleaning does not address the root cause of poor IAQ, which is why we recommend using it as one part of your whole-home plan.
