Understanding Indoor Air Quality
If you’re looking to improve the quality of air in your home, it’s essential to understand the importance and benefits of IAQ.
What is indoor air quality?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is defined as the quality of air within a residential dwelling or other building, and how this relates to the health, general well-being, and comfort of the people who are breathing the air.
Why is Indoor air quality important?
Because a growing body of research is indicating the air inside our homes and workplaces is often by far more polluted than the air we are breathing outdoors, health officials are trying to raise awareness about the importance of Indoor Air Quality. Being circulated throughout the typical home, researchers find all sorts of things that are harmful to be breathing, things like smoke from tobacco, lead particles, bacteria, asbestos, fire-retardants, formaldehyde, radon, carbon monoxide, and other hazardous gases and chemicals, on top of mold and mildew. Even chemicals that are considered volatile used daily in certain household cleaners are more prevalent than most residents realize.
With so many people spending so much of their time inside (and especially now since COVID-19), Indoor Air Quality is something everyone would benefit from being aware of, especially since modern homes are sealed so air tight. Unless you have sufficient air filtration mechanisms in place with adequate ventilation, indoor air pollution particles, gases and smoke are unable to escape. Because of this, health officials are raising awareness to warn people about Indoor Air Pollution as it has a far greater effect on our health, well-being, energy levels, and mood than previously thought.

4 Easy Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality
"No Smoking" Zone
Vacuum Regularly
Use proper ventilation
There are two places that cause issues: kitchens and bathrooms. Gas stoves are known to release dangerous gases such as nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. Electric burners and stoves are no exception. Bathrooms need proper ventilation to control humidity levels.
Preventative Maintenance
Our certified technicians perform an extensive list of procedures that include cleanings and examinations; they carefully analyze your HVAC system and conduct a list of system checks and inspections; they analyze the condition of your air ducts and check your system’s air filters and look for any other area that merits attention.

Health Effects of Poor Indoor Air Quality
By reducing or eradicating airborne contaminants floating around we might not be aware of, we decrease associated health problems. However, the problem with indoor air pollution, what makes it insidious, is that a great deal of the health problems aren’t evident immediately after exposure. Because some forms of indoor air pollution can linger for years and cause severe health problems down the road, it would behoove a homeowner not to investigate, or to educate themselves, and to find out what’s floating around in the air in their home.
