The quality of the air we breathe top of mind for all of us. Frequent house cleaning, portable air cleaners and room dehumidifiers don’t address the issue of whole home air quality. By looking at the house as a system, we can help you to have truly Healthy Home Air. This includes:
- Consider a Dehumidifier
Too much humidity in your home and you can end up with mold or mildew. More than 60% is a cause for concern. A whole-home dehumidifier could assist by preventing your home from becoming overly humid. The Aprilaire whole house dehumidifier is a professional grade solution to the problem of too much humidity
- Install a whole home humidifier
Too little moisture in the air can cause allergies, asthma and other respiratory issues to feel worse. Humidity levels below 30 percent are a cause for concern. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, 24 million people are affected by asthma—while allergies are classified as the sixth leading cause of chronic illness. If your home feels too dry, an Aprilaire whole-home humidifier could provide the appropriate balance.
- Get some fresh air into your home.
The fresher the air flowing inside a building the better. Fresh air dilutes contaminates, including viruses, reducing exposure to everyone inside. You could prop open your windows for a few minutes every day but many of us forget to open it – or to close it. And who wants an open window in the middle of winter and let that expensive heat out?
A better solution might be the Aprilaire Fresh Air system. This device brings in a measured amount of fresh air on a regular basis to keep the air in your home as fresh as possible.
- Upgrade your HVAC filter .Hidden away in your basement or attic, the air filter in your HVAC system is something you probably don’t think about much. But a good air filter keeps your furnace and central air conditioner humming along by protecting the mechanicals from dust and debris. And the best filters trap indoor pollutants such as dust, pet dander, and pollen, helping to clean the air in your home.
The Aprilaire Healthy Air Purifier is designed to plug into your existing or new heating and cooling system to ensure that even virus sized particles, allergens, dust mites, mild spores and other unhealthy airborne substances are caught and out of (air) circulation. It was chosen by Consumer Reports as the best on the market.
- Schedule routine professional HVAC maintenance.
Schedule a professional HVAC maintenance visit at least once a year. Planned maintenance not only ensures your system runs efficiently—it also allows our team to catch any issues that could compromise your system and indoor air quality. Plus, an annual tune-up helps restore your system so that you can count on it when you need it most.
