Indoor Air Quality Services
What is Indoor Air Quality?
While a lot of people believe air pollution is exclusively an outdoor problem, studies actually show the air inside our homes can be far more polluted than even in the biggest most industrialized cities today. To top it off, the average American spends an estimated 90 percent of their time indoors. Because the air indoors often lacks proper filtration, indoor air pollution is something homeowners should take seriously.
The EPA defines Indoor Air Quality as the quality of air inside a building or home and how it relates to the building or home’s occupants. Indoor Air Quality has a direct and sometimes negative effect on our health in addition to our overall mood, well-being and energy levels.
Why is Indoor Air Quality Important?
Health officials say the air we breathe in our homes can be 2 to 5 times more toxic and polluted than the air outdoors, where nature has a way of taking care of it through a host of processes unbeknownst to the average person. When you take into consideration how tightly insulated most homes and workplaces are intentionally made in order to keep treated air inside, it becomes obvious why HVAC experts and health officials suggest some homeowners consider certain indoor air quality products to go in conjunction with their heat pump, furnace or air conditioner.
All too often household air pollution is unable to escape because modern dwellings are fairly airtight. In the confined spaces of a house or office building or work environment, pollutants can get trapped without adequate filtration or the circulation of outdoor air. Even with the HVAC system’s air filter, often these pollutants are merely recirculated. Sometimes, getting a humidifier, dehumidifier or air purifier makes a world of difference, in addition to UV Lights and other air filtration products.

Benefits of Humidifiers
Breathe Cleaner Air with a Humidifier
Living in a dryer winter climate like Ohio, whole-home humidifiers can become a necessary add-on component. Here are 4 benefits of owning a humidifier:
Healthier Pet & Plant Life
We aren’t the only ones affected by winter’s dry air. Our pets and plants living in the home are affected as well. Plant leaves begin to look droopy, and the soil seems dryer than normal. Pets, depending on the type, are affected in other ways. Humidifiers help keep you and your pets and plants healthy.
Reduce the Risk of Illness
Bacteria and viruses can’t travel as well in moist air. It is possible that using a humidifier might prevent you from catching a bug during the cold season. In any case, dry air can cause a host of health-related problems.
Protect Your Furniture
Not enough moisture in your home’s air can cause wood furnishing, woodwork, and wood flooring to crack and even split. Using a humidifier helps preserve the integrity of the wood in your home.
Minimize Static Electricity
With dry winter air in Southern Ohio, there also comes static electricity in the form of shocks that are almost inevitable in some homes during the winter. No one likes a jarring jolt of a static shock or having their clothing stick to them. It’s not good for your electronics either. Using a humidifier helps reduce, if not eliminate, static electricity in your home during winter.

How to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

2.) Preventative Maintenance
Keeping up on your home comfort systems with maintenance is essential for comfort and air quality because being proactive with this equipment allows it to run smoothly and do its job the way it was designed to do it.
3.) Keep Up with House Cleanings
In addition to keeping rugs and carpets clean to improve air quality, including regular cleaning and vacuuming into your regular routine will go a long way in helping keep your home’s air quality optimal. Doing so prevents this stuff from building up.
