What Is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a measure of the pollutants in the air of a home or other building. Good indoor air quality means there are few pollutants. The opposite indicates poor indoor air quality. 

Optimal Humidity Levels

Humidity plays a part in indoor air quality. High humidity levels can provide an environment for mold and mildew to grow. Low levels of humidity can cause allergies. 

Because of this, optimal humidity levels are on the lower end but not too low. Around 35% to 50% is ideal.  

Benefits of Good Indoor Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality can have a direct impact on health. Exposure to pollutants in the air can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. 

Exposure can also lead to long-term health problems such as cancer, heart disease, and a range of different respiratory diseases. 

Good indoor air quality helps prevent these problems and bolsters the health of all building occupants.

How To Improve Indoor Air Quality

You can get better indoor air quality by taking a few steps.

• Regularly change HVAC air filters: You should change your HVAC system’s air filters regularly. You should change them seasonally at a minimum, but you can get better results if you change them monthly. 
• Clean your HVAC system: Dust, pollutants, and other debris have a bad habit of piling up in your HVAC system. Cleaning your air ducts and vents will prevent the system from blowing problematic substances around the room. 
• Schedule regular HVAC maintenance: An annual HVAC tune-up will allow your HVAC system to clean the air in your home properly. The best part is that this service often includes changing filters and cleaning! 

Services To Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Texas Pride AC & Heating can provide you with various services to improve indoor air quality. 

Testing

You need air quality testing to determine the current status of your indoor air quality. We use state-of-the-art sensors to test the air in your home and let you know if there is a problem. 

Air Duct Cleaning

Plenty of air quality issues build up in your air ducts. We can clean your air ducts on their own or as part of an overall HVAC checkup. We’ll also use cleaning products that won’t cause further issues. 

Air Filters

Your heating and air conditioning units have filters. However, these filters get dirty and clogged after a few months of use. We can replace the filters for you so that they work effectively. 

Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers

If the humidity in your home is too low, we can install a humidifier for you. 

If the humidity is too high, we can install a dehumidifier, which will fight against potential mold and mildew problems. 

Electronic Air Cleaners

Electronic air cleaners provide another front in the fight for good air quality. With them, you can remove fine particles from the air. We can outfit your home with electronic air cleaners. 

UV Light Installation

UV light kills living air quality issues, like bacteria and germs. We can install UV light systems that will provide this protection. These lights are particularly beneficial in commercial settings such as hospitals.
