Your Indoor Air Quality Experts
You hear a lot about pollutants in outside air, such as wildfire smoke, vehicle emissions, pollen, and other allergens. It’s easy to forget that the quality of your indoor air is just as important. In fact, it can be more important because you probably spend more time indoors than outdoors.
Indoor air contaminants can come from different sources. First, they can come from outdoors. Pollen, dust, and other impurities can enter when you open a door or window and may not circulate back outside. Then there are the contaminants that originate in your home, such as cigarette smoke and pet hair.
Another concern for your air quality indoors is volatile organic compounds. These gases can come from carpets, paints, furniture, and other common household items. Their effects range from mild irritants, such as headaches, to long-term health problems.
There are several benefits to air purification.
- Eliminate odors
- Reduce respiratory problems
- Better sleep quality
- Fewer irritants from allergens
- Improve overall health
Once we’ve tested your air, there are different approaches we can take to its improvement. Better indoor air is not always about removing contaminants. For example, in a cold climate like Elkhorn’s, your heating system can cause the air in your home to become too dry. A humidifier can decrease the dryness. Conversely, if there’s too much humidity in the air, mold and mildew can thrive in your home. Dehumidifiers can take care of that humidity.
Air purifiers and air scrubbers are both devices that can help improve indoor air quality. Air purifiers typically use HEPA filters, although some may also use activated carbon. There are both portable air purifiers and whole-house models. Air scrubbers are more powerful. However, this doesn’t mean that an air scrubber is always a better choice. We can help you determine whether an air purifier or an air scrubber is right for your situation.
Another option is UV light, which can kill bacteria and viruses. Since UV lights don’t remove other contaminants from the air, we often pair them with other devices. For example, you might have both a whole-house air purifier and a UV light that attaches to your HVAC system.
