Commercial Indoor Air Quality Solutions

Your local Aire Serv service professionals will identify air quality issues and make recommendations to improve your facility’s air quality as needed. Aire Serv uses the most innovative tools and technologies to create custom commercial air quality solutions that are tailored to your property’s specific needs and budget.

Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, and indoor air can be 2–5 times—even up to 100 times—more polluted than outdoor air. Custom commercial indoor air quality solutions from Aire Serv improve ventilation, regulate humidity, and reduce airborne contaminants so occupants in your facility can breathe more easily.

A lack of appropriate ventilation is a common culprit behind indoor air quality issues. When air can’t circulate properly, allergens, dust, and other pollutants build up inside. Tobacco and vaping products, combustion appliances, carpet/upholstery, and excess moisture can all contribute to air quality issues.

Poor indoor air quality may cause eye and throat irritation, headaches, irritability, fatigue, congestion, nausea, and dizziness. It can also worsen allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues while putting undue stress on the heart and lungs.

Commercial air purification systems come with a number of benefits. For starters, they neutralize many of the most harmful kinds of chemicals. While it’s easy to assume that harmful chemicals are only found in manufacturing facilities and production plants, even the most innocuous of chemicals can pollute the air. An air purifier helps to neutralize these chemicals, keeping them out of the indoor air we breathe throughout the day.

Commercial air purification can also help keep odors at bay. Even the most delightful smells of flowers, fresh baked goods, and perfumes can become overwhelming over time. Other less pleasant smells from production and cleaning equipment can also permeate the air. With a commercial air purifier in place, you can eliminate these scents and keep your commercial space smelling fresh.

Clean, fresh air helps to reduce the risk of airborne diseases, too. As we’ve seen in recent years, airborne droplets can spread disease fast. By killing airborne pathogens, a commercial air purification system helps reduce the odds of breathing in germs and getting sick.

Air purifiers are also great at reducing airborne particles like dust. This means less vacuuming and dusting for your cleaning staff. This helps reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system since it won’t need to work as hard to push out cool air.

There are several commercial air purification strategies you can employ to keep your commercial space fresh. Many HVAC systems now feature air filtration capabilities. These systems rely on powerful fans to circulate the air in the building through a large filter. The filters help trap particles of contaminated air pollutants and prevent them from being inhaled by people in the building, protecting the health of everyone inside.

Indoor air quality can be affected by temperature, humidity, ventilation, and invisible toxins. Common pollutants include dust, smoke, mold/mildew, and volatile organic compounds, which are found in cleaning products, pesticides, and fragrances. Often, these pollutants get trapped indoors and settle into carpeting and other soft furnishings, as well as behind walls or under floors with cracks or gaps.

Furthermore, combustion appliances like furnaces, water heaters, and boilers can produce dangerous indoor pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, especially when faulty. Contact your local Aire Serv if you need carbon monoxide detectors for your commercial property.

Commercial indoor air solutions from Aire Serv help address these issues before they affect the health of facility occupants. We offer innovative indoor air quality solutions you can trust to keep the air in your commercial property clean, safe, and healthy.

How do you know if your facility has indoor air quality issues? Musty odors can be a sign of mold caused by excess moisture from improper ventilation, high humidity levels, and latent water damage.

Regular HVAC system repair and maintenance reduces the chance of mold developing. However, if you are experiencing a mold infestation, it should be addressed with professional removal immediately, as it can cause serious health problems.

You can also look for other common signs of poor indoor air quality, which include:

• Lingering, unpleasant odors
• Excess dust buildup, especially around air vents and ducts
• High humidity levels
• Discolored fabrics and furniture
• Visible mold growth
• Poor ventilation

Furthermore, compromised indoor air quality can cause respiratory and other health issues for commercial property occupants, including:

• Headaches
• Sore/itchy eyes
• Burning/runny nose
• Congestion
• Fatigue
• Trouble with concentration
• Worsening allergies/asthma
• Flu-like symptoms
• Heart disease
• Lung disease
• Cancer
• Other serious, long-term conditions

Have questions about which kind of air purifier is right for your commercial space? Talk to the professional air purification experts at Aire Serv. Many of the best air purifiers require professional wiring and installation. Others may be simpler to install, but the convenience comes at a price—they’re often much less effective.

Public indoor spaces require a degree of air purification that can’t be captured by the residential units often used in homes. Schools, gyms, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and other huge indoor spaces rely on commercial air purification systems to remove pollutants. Viruses, bacteria, dust, and allergens thrive in these spaces. Without proper ventilation and purification strategies in place, visitors may find themselves suffering negative health effects. That’s especially true for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like cigarette smoke and traffic exhaust.

A quality commercial air purifier benefits both employees and the general public. Occupants may not immediately notice the presence of such equipment but may certainly feel the impact of its absence. An efficient system ensures a better environment for everyone. That’s why so many businesses have come to rely on them throughout the years.

Given how important it is to choose the right brand and type of air purifier for your business, it’s best to talk to a service professional before making a final decision. Our pros can help review your options and give you expert advice on which system is right for your commercial space.
