Indoor Air Quality in Havertown, PA
How Are You Treating Your Indoor Air?
There are a number of methods we use to improve the air quality in Havertown, PA homes. Our service professionals provide installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance services for your indoor air quality systems. You may benefit from one, or some combination, of the following.
- Air Filtration Systems and Air Purifiers: The standard air filter in your HVAC system is not enough to truly improve your indoor air quality. You may benefit from a high-efficiency air filtration system or even an air purification system such as a UV air purifier to eliminate bacteria from your ductwork before it enters your home.
- Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers: The ideal relative humidity levels in your home rest between 30%-50%. Anything outside of this range means you’d benefit from a whole-house humidifier or dehumidifier, depending on the season and the specific needs of your individual home.
- Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilators: Does your air feel stale in the summer or winter? While opening your windows and doors while running your HVAC system is inefficient, you can still get adequate ventilation with an ERV or HRV system.
- Duct Services: Did you know that breached ductwork can account for up to 30% of air loss? This means that conditioned air you’re paying for is escaping into areas like your attic or crawlspace, instead of making its way through your vents and into your home. What’s more is this invites contaminants into your home. Ask us about our duct sealing, repair, and replacement services to restore proper air quality.
Threats to Your Indoor Air
The right air quality systems can make all the difference in improving the air you breathe in your Havertown or Delaware County home. But it’s also important to know why and when you may actually need professional indoor air quality services.
One of the most common culprits of reduced air quality is a lack of ventilation that modern residential buildings often suffer from. The insulation, tight construction, and other sealing methods used on your home during construction are in place to boost the efficiency of your HVAC systems, but it also causes a concentration of contaminants.
There are a number of household sources for air pollution—from gas combustion systems like your heating system, to cosmetics and cleaning products. With the right team on your side though, you can effectively and efficiently solve this air quality problem and get back to breathing healthy, clean air.
