If the air quality in your home is suffering from high concentrations of particulate matter, VOCs, and other contaminants, this can impact you and your family in several ways. People who suffer from allergies may notice an increase in symptoms. Poor indoor air quality can also result in frequent headaches, fatigue, problems sleeping, and mood issues.
There are several methods of improving and maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
Maintain air circulation
Air purification
UV sanitation
Humidity control
Frequent cleaning
Your first line of defense is the air filter. This is usually a disposable filter at the air intake vent. You should change this filter every 60 to 90 days, or more often if you have pets. This traps particulates before they enter your HVAC equipment. These air filters carry a MERV rating; the higher the number, the better they clean the air. Most home systems can’t handle greater than MERV 13 because it blocks the airflow the HVAC system needs to work.
Air purifiers use high-efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA), equivalent to MERV 17 or greater. While portable air purifiers can address a small area of your home at a time, a whole-home unit is ideal. We install this equipment onto your HVAC system, filtering the air that passes through your system as your heating and cooling equipment runs.
Some whole-home purification systems also include a carbon filter. These effectively catch odors and harmful gases, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). You can also opt for UV air sanitation. These devices can render airborne pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and mold spores harmless.
Balanced relative humidity is a significant factor in your health and comfort. Our Bellevue HVAC technicians can install a whole-home dehumidifier or humidifier to remove or add moisture to maintain a relative humidity level between 35% and 50%. Monitor your indoor humidity using a hygrometer or a smart thermostat with hygrometer capabilities. Run exhaust fans and ventilation equipment to cycle old air out of the home and bring clean air in. Common areas for these fans include bathrooms and kitchens, where a lot of particulate matter exists along with odors and humidity.
Finally, small changes in your behavior and choices can make a big difference in the air you breathe. You can also avoid using chemical cleaning products in your home and make greener choices for home construction to reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds in your indoor air.
