IAQ Solutions That Improve Indoor Air Quality Quickly

Do you feel sick inside your house? Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) contains thousands of harmful particles. If you don’t change your HVAC system’s filter regularly, you’ll let them settle on your home’s surfaces and recirculate around your living spaces dozens of times daily. Replacing the filter isn’t enough to keep your home’s air supply clean. Here are some effective IAQ solutions that improve indoor air quality for homeowners in New Bern, NC:

Air Purifiers and Air Cleaners

Purifying your indoor air helps you breathe easier, sleep more soundly and enjoy a higher quality of life. A whole-home air purifier installs easily within your HVAC system, purifying all the air that passes through when it operates. Air purifiers are proven effective against common pathogens like the common cold surrogate and human influenza.

Dehumidifiers and Humidifiers

Balancing your home’s humidity is critical to preventing problems stemming from excessively moist or dry air. A humidifier adds moisture to the air supply, while a dehumidifier removes it. Aim for a humidity between 40% and 60%.

Energy Recovery Ventilators

Newly constructed houses in New Bern, NC, have tight thermal envelopes. While good for energy efficiency, it’s bad for indoor air quality. That’s because tightly sealed homes trap more indoor pollutants. With an energy recovery ventilator installation, you’ll exhaust stale indoor air around the clock, replacing it with fresh air from outside.

Don’t Forget About CO Alarms

When operating your furnace in the winter, there’s always the threat of carbon monoxide impacting your family’s health and safety. Ensure your home has working carbon monoxide alarms. Test them and replace the batteries if needed.
