Residential IAQ service is a great way to determine which contaminants plague your house, and in what concentrations. This is an ideal starting point so that you can choose IAQ products that specifically target those unwanted indoor contaminants.
There are numerous common contaminants we may find in your home:
Mold
Dust
Bacteria
VOCs
Viruses
Pet dander
Pollen
One of the best places to start enhancing your indoor air quality is with your existing HVAC unit. Choosing a filter with a MERV rating between 10 and 13 can offer more filtration for these unwanted airborne contaminants while still offering efficient operation for your heating or cooling system. This is a very low-cost option that can make a big improvement in your household’s air quality.
Another option is an extended media filter in addition to your normal HVAC filter. This media filter goes directly inside your return ducting to treat all the air flowing back into your system. This filtration method has multiple filters that all work to remove different types of airborne contaminants. You can even get one with an activated carbon filter to remove unpleasant odors from your indoor air.
A popular improvement to boost indoor quality is a whole-home air purification system. One technology that’s very common for these systems is UV germicidal lighting. The UV-C spectrum disrupts the nucleus of DNA in biological pollutants like spores, viruses, and bacteria to prevent reproduction. This will significantly reduce the amount of living contaminants in your home.
There are two different styles of whole-home air purification systems: air sanitizing and coil sanitizing. Air sanitizing systems have a UV-C germicidal light inside of your return ducting to treat all the air as it flows through the air duct. Coil sanitizing systems use a specialized light above the evaporator coil inside your indoor air handler unit. This is ideal for preventing unpleasant mold and mildew growth on the evaporator coil.
Both of these methods offer easy treatment of unwanted indoor airborne contaminants, but the second method does an even better job of protecting your HVAC system itself. They require professional servicing every six months to one year, depending on your home’s indoor air quality level.
