Clean Air/Indoor Air Quality
Cleaner Air
The Environmental Protection Agency now estimates the air inside of our homes is 5 times more polluted than the outside air! Due to modern building practices, the problem is only getting worse. With such a large emphasis placed on energy efficiency, national and state building codes are requiring our homes to be built tighter and tighter. This eliminates the natural ventilation that would normally wash away pollutants that typically accumulate.
Every day we introduce air borne pathogens and particulates into our homes. Dust, dust mites, pet dander, viruses, bacterias, mold, volatile organic compounds, pollen are just a few. Without the ability to naturally exchange the contaminated air with fresh air, the level of pollutants only multiply, resulting in chronic respiratory illnesses, allergies, headaches…the list of illnesses triggered by poor indoor air quality grows day by day.
Being able to understand there is a problem with the quality of our indoor air is only the beginning.
Your air conditioning system is actually an extension of the entire building envelope or structure.

Here are just a few of the ways we can help:
- Air Purifiers

Indoor Air Quality
Superior air quality at home is an essential component of your family’s health and comfort.
Many allergies are caused by indoor contaminants, but the proper air filtration system works to eradicate these bothersome elements from the air you breathe. It also prevents dangerous viruses and molds from circulating through your home. We can install air filtration that works in conjunction with your existing heating and air conditioning system. The filters greatly reduce the percentage of dust, pollen and allergens, viruses, bacteria, molds, pet dander, and tobacco smoke in the air in your home. They also eliminate pesky odors; the smell of frying onions in the kitchen won’t be transferred to every room in the house.
Since heating and air conditioning ducts may foster the growth of certain bacteria and allow for dust and particles to collect, air filters are an essential addition to your home comfort system.
