Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the cleanliness and healthiness of the air inside a building or home. It’s an important factor in ensuring a comfortable and safe living environment. Good IAQ means the air is free of pollutants, allergens, and contaminants that could affect your health or comfort.

Key Factors That Affect Indoor Air Quality:

  • Pollutants:
  • Biological: Mold, pollen, pet dander, bacteria, and viruses.
  • Chemical: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products, paints, or furniture.
  • Particulates: Dust, dirt, and smoke.
  • Ventilation: Poor airflow can trap pollutants indoors, leading to stale or unhealthy air.
  • Humidity Levels: High humidity promotes mold growth, while low humidity can cause dryness and discomfort.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can make air feel stale and uncomfortable.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters:

  • Health: Poor IAQ can cause or worsen respiratory issues, allergies, and asthma. Long-term exposure can lead to more serious conditions.
  • Comfort: Clean air makes your home feel fresh and comfortable.
  • Energy Efficiency: A properly ventilated and filtered HVAC system works more efficiently, reducing energy costs.
  • Productivity: Good IAQ in workplaces and homes can improve focus, mood, and overall well-being.

How to Improve Indoor Air Quality:

  • HVAC Maintenance: Regularly service your system to ensure it’s circulating clean air.
  • Air Purifiers: Install systems like the HALO Reme for advanced air cleaning.
  • Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow by opening windows or using mechanical ventilation systems.
  • Dehumidifiers/Humidifiers: Maintain balanced humidity levels (ideally 30-50%).
  • Cleaning: Regularly clean floors, furniture, and air ducts to reduce dust and allergens.
