According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air can contain up to five times more pollutants than outdoor air. If your home feels stuffy or has a bad odor, poor indoor air quality may be the problem. Denillo Heating & Cooling provides indoor air quality solutions for homes and businesses in Bethel Park, Bridgeville, Canonsburg, Homestead, Pittsburgh, South Park, Venetia, PA, and the surrounding areas.
Importance of Good Indoor Air Quality
Good indoor air quality characteristics include comfortable humidity and temperature, control of pollutants, and adequate ventilation. Good indoor air quality enhances productivity, contributes to good health, and reduces the spread of diseases. Indoor air quality can be affected by poor ventilation, organic growth, dust, and volatile organic compounds emitted from furnishings, textiles and building materials.
Poor indoor air quality can aggravate existing health problems such as asthma, allergies, or heart disease. Some pollutants can cause short-term and long-term health problems. Poor ventilation can make indoor living spaces feel stuffy. High humidity allows dust mites, pests, and other biological contaminants to thrive.
How to Improve the Indoor Air Quality of Your Home or Office
EPA recommends three ways to improve indoor air quality: improve ventilation, remove sources of pollutants, and use air cleaners. As buildings have become more airtight for better energy efficiency, they also trap pollutants that can affect IAQ. Although opening windows brings in fresh air, it may not be practical during some seasons.
Denillo Heating & Cooling offers practical tips and recommendations to help you achieve a healthy indoor environment. We recommend ways to improve ventilation and reduce sources of pollution, such as installing ventilation fans in rooms with high humidity, improving filtration on your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, and neutralizing organic growth that thrives in moist environments.
Air Cleaners and Mechanical Ventilation Systems Purify the Air
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems regulate humidity and filter and circulate air. High-grade air filters capture small particulate matter, such as aerosols, smoke, and biological contaminants. Whole-home ventilation systems expel stale indoor air and bring in fresh outdoor air. Ultraviolet lights installed inside ducts inactivate pathogens that grow on moist HVAC surfaces, including coils and drip pans.
Denillo Heating & Cooling offers air cleaners, whole-home ventilation systems, and air purifiers that work with heating and cooling equipment. We will discuss your indoor air quality concerns, evaluate the air in your home or business, and offer solutions to keep the air healthy and fresh.
