Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Air quality testing can reveal many indoor air quality issues in a home. That includes problems with household allergens, more serious pollution, and issues related to your HVAC equipment. Often, one of the easiest ways to improve air quality in a home is to upgrade the HVAC filter.
We recommend using a high-quality filter that you won’t have to swap out as often. You should also consider the filter’s minimum efficiency reporting value. Modern HVAC systems typically support a MERV rating of at least 8 and as high as 13. A MERV 8-13 filter can trap significantly more allergens than a basic filter, which often has a 1-4 rating.
Homeowners should also schedule seasonal HVAC tune-ups in the spring and fall. This is beneficial for comfort, efficiency, and system longevity. It also improves indoor air quality because our technician will clean the system of dirt and microbial growth.
Don’t forget about your ductwork. You should schedule a duct inspection at least every other year. During a camera inspection, we can identify any air leakage. Leakage not only affects your comfort and operating costs; it introduces pollutants that undermine air quality.
While your HVAC system provides some filtration, it isn’t as effective as a whole-home air purifier. These in-duct systems filter all the air in a home multiple times an hour. They often have a high-MERV or HEPA filter. A HEPA filter, in particular, can trap more than 99% of all particles. These systems often have activated carbon for the removal of odors, gases, and chemicals. You can also opt for a UV lamp to eliminate most pathogens.
Excessive moisture is often a contributor to poor air quality. To eliminate that excess moisture, you can install a whole-house dehumidifier. It will make it easy to achieve an ideal relative humidity, which is 40-50% for most people.
An air quality test can reveal many issues:
- Mold
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Excessive dust
- Carbon monoxide
