What Air Are You Breathing

It’s hard to believe summer is right around the corner already! That means pressing humidity and stifling heat is on the way. HVAC systems are king when it comes to making sure homes stay cool & comfortable but indoor air quality products are the knights that work to protect the air you breathe.

Why Is Indoor Air Quality Important?

Poor indoor air quality can be a major factor when it comes to experiencing health effects within your home or building. Immediate symptoms include irritated throat, nose or eyes, fatigue, dizziness, headaches and may cause preexisting condition symptoms like coughing from asthma. Though they may not even be noticed for years, long-term health problems from indoor pollution are more severe in nature such as respiratory disease & cancer.

Air Purifiers

Air filters only help mitigate the circulation of dust and larger fragments from migrating through the HVAC and your home. However, fine particles get recirculated as they’re too small to be blocked without the proper system. Air purifiers are designed to capture, contain, and eliminate these microparticles by attracting them to the device where they’re adhered to media & are exposed to UVC lamps eliminating organisms like viruses and bacteria.

Dehumidifiers

Let’s face it, Alabama is one of the top states when it comes to hitting high humidity levels in the US. Just ignore it isn’t the answer, that can lead to the build-up of mold and mildew which destroy structures and harm health. Getting rid of excess moisture isn’t impossible! Once installed, dehumidifiers begin to work immediately by drawing in warmer air currents to refrigerated coils. Water vapor in this process turns to condensation where it is then drawn out of the home.

Both options in indoor air quality devices were designed to work with existing HVAC systems allowing for quick, easy installation! Why wait when you can Breathe Easy today!
