In addition to Aire Serv’s professional indoor air quality packages, we offer solutions to improve ventilation and regulate humidity so you and your family can breathe easier.

Your HVAC system circulates more than 1 million cubic feet of air through your home daily. That’s why it’s the ideal place to improve indoor air quality and combat the three phases of airborne contaminants: particles and allergens, germs and infectious agents, and chemical gasses and odors.

All three phases of indoor air contamination can contribute to poor efficiency of your HVAC system and reduce the quality of the air inside your home. Reducing them is an important part of maintaining safe, healthy indoor air quality for your family.

Poor indoor air quality can cause eye and throat irritation, headaches, irritability, fatigue, congestion, nausea, and dizziness. In addition to these symptoms, indoor air pollution can worsen allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues while putting undue stress on the heart and lungs.

Indoor air quality can be affected by temperature, humidity, ventilation, and indoor pollutants like cleaning products, paint, and other unseen toxins. Human skin cells, dust mites, and dust mite feces often comprise a significant percentage of household dust. In addition, tobacco and vaping products, pets, combustion appliances, carpet/upholstery, and excess moisture can all contribute to air quality issues.

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 in your home. These indoor air contaminants get trapped indoors and settle into carpeting, bedding, and other soft furnishings, as well as behind walls or under floors with cracks or gaps.

Furthermore, combustion appliances like heaters, stoves, and dryers can produce dangerous indoor pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Contact your local Aire Serv for professional carbon monoxide detector installation or replacement.

Fresh air can significantly improve air quality, so selecting a fresh air ventilation system is an excellent option for long-term improvement. Investing in an air purification system to help remove contaminants from the air is also a smart choice.

Avoid smoking indoors, use cooking vents, and be sure to change out your air filters regularly. You can also request UV lamp installation to rid your air conditioner of contaminants before they circulate in your home.

A well-maintained HVAC system is essential to improving indoor air quality, but you help keep it running optimally by performing simple DIY checks.

While air filtration is part of all central air systems, if you want the cleanest air possible, consider adding a separate air purifier vs. operating central air filters alone. Central air and HVAC filters will remove dust and larger particles, but air purifiers are much more effective than central air at removing other indoor air contaminants.

Yes, air purifiers need regular cleaning and maintenance to perform at peak efficiency. Schedule air filter replacements with Aire Serv at least four times a year and book repairs whenever you notice a decline in indoor air quality.

While some systems intentionally create safe levels of ozone, there are also newer, ozone-free air purifiers available if you have any concerns.

Residential air purification improves your quality of life. If anyone in the household has allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, an air purifier may help reduce symptoms. Not only does air filtration help keep your family healthy, but it protects your HVAC system and ensures it runs at peak efficiency.

Air purifiers can also help neutralize odors and eliminate contaminants in the air, including:

• Aerosols
• Bacteria
• Cat litter
• Cooking smells
• Dust mites
• Fungi
• Mildew
• Mold
• Pathogens
• Pet hair/dander
• Pesticides
• Plant spores
• Pollen
• Tobacco smoke
• Toxins
• Viruses
• Volatile organic compounds

Schedule a thorough air quality evaluation with Aire Serv. With our comprehensive air purification services and HVAC system maintenance, everyone can breathe more easily.

Some air purifiers, such as portable models, may not be strong enough to properly filter the air in a space, so they may not be worth the money. However, choosing a home air purifier that’s properly rated for the space can certainly improve your quality of life.

No, air purifiers typically don’t use a lot of electricity. Factors such as the type of air purifier and the age of the filter determine how much energy an air purification system uses.

Yes! Here are some DIY steps you can take to maintain indoor air quality: 

•  Change your air filters frequently
•  Schedule an air duct cleaning to reduce irritants such as mold and dust
•  Install a dehumidifier or humidifier, depending on the environment, to regulate indoor moisture
•  Circulate fresh air with a fresh air ventilation system to improve indoor air quality
•  Dust and vacuum often to remove contaminants and ease the burden on the HVAC system, prolonging the equipment's life and saving money on electric bills
