What is the indoor air quality like in your home or office building? Are germs and pollutants being recycled through your hvac system with no way out?
A study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that indoor air can actually be more polluted than the air outdoors (read the report). Considering that most Americans spend up to 90 percent of each day indoors, you may be experiencing indoor air pollution without even knowing it.
Today, homes and buildings are sealed more tightly to conserve energy. Unfortunately, this seals in mold, pollen, bacteria and other pollutants. Since the EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health, many are concerned.
Ventilation systems, air treatment systems, air cleaners and even humidifiers can help improve air quality for a total comfort solution. Each offers a distinct method to help families breathe a little easier. Read below for additional information:
Ventilation Systems replace a portion of stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, reducing energy loss in the process. Air exchangers for instance, let users manually or automatically adjust the fresh air flow. The units retain energy used to heat or cool, saving money on utility bills.
Ultraviolet Air Treatment Systems are designed to prevent mold spore growth on air conditioning coils. This technology, used for decades in water treatment, helps reduce allergic reactions to mold while enhancing overall air quality.
Air Purifiers offer an effective way to remove up to 94 percent of the particles - dust, pollens, pet dander, plant spores, fungi, bacteria, tobacco smoke, etc. - from the air that passes through the home. York offers both electronic and media air cleaners.
Whole-House Humidifiers replenish the much-needed moisture in the air inside. This is important because warm, dry air absorbs moisture from everything around it, and breathing this air can be difficult.
