What is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and Why Does It Matter?

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce your risk of indoor health concerns.

We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, where pollutant levels can be significantly higher than outdoors. Poor IAQ can affect your health, comfort, and even your home's structural integrity. Investing in IAQ solutions is an investment in your family's well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About IAQ

Find answers to common questions about indoor air quality and our services.

How do I know if my home has poor indoor air quality?

Common signs include persistent allergies, frequent headaches, unusual odors, excessive dust, or visible mold growth. An IAQ test by our professionals can provide a definitive assessment.

What is the most effective way to improve indoor air quality?

The most effective solution depends on your specific issues. A combination of source control (reducing pollutants), proper ventilation, and air cleaning (filtration/purification) is often best. Our experts can recommend a tailored strategy.

How often should I change my HVAC air filter?

Standard 1-inch filters should generally be changed every 1-3 months. Higher-efficiency media filters may last 6-12 months. Factors like pets, allergies, and local air quality can affect frequency.

Is professional duct cleaning really necessary?

Duct cleaning can be beneficial if you've had recent renovations, pest infestations, visible mold in ducts, or unexplained allergy symptoms. We recommend an inspection to determine if duct cleaning is right for your home.

Can IAQ solutions help with pet allergies?

Yes, high-efficiency air purifiers with HEPA filters are very effective at capturing pet dander. Proper ventilation and regular duct cleaning can also significantly reduce pet-related allergens in your home.

What are VOCs and why are they harmful?

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids, like paints, cleaning supplies, and new furniture. They can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, and have long-term health effects. Ventilation and air purification can help reduce VOC levels.
