There have been many changes in the way houses have been built over the years. In an effort to make homes more efficient, your house brings in less fresh air.
The result is many germs and toxins are recirculated into your living space. According to the EPA, the air inside your home is more dangerous than the air outside. VOC s (volatile organic compounds) and mold can aggravate asthma and other conditions.
Many devices are available to help alleviate airborne contaminants. There are electronic filters, UV lights, high efficiency filters, dehumidifiers and many more. This can seem very confusing for us as homeowners.
Contacting a local HVAC contractor to discuss which type of IAQ (indoor air quality) device works for your home is the first step.
The contractor should take a good look at your home. Then the technician will discuss the many options with you. Most of the options are quite simple.
Adding an electronic filter that captures and destroys contaminants can most likely be added to the system you are running now. A UV light can be installed to your existing air handler where it destroys bacteria and mold growth at the source.
An Evaporative Humidifier can provide the perfect humidity for comfort in your home so viruses cannot thrive in your environment.
These are just a few ways we can help keep our home germ free. Setting up an appointment with a local, trusted contractor will help bring you peace of mind when it comes to flu and allergy season.
