Filtration - circulates the air in the home and filters out particles UV purification - kills microorganisms HVAC system cleaning - keeps your system running clean and efficiently. Source control - remove or replace poor IAQ sources such as candles and cleaning supplies Humidity control - control humidity levels within recommended guidelines. Reactive defense systems - explore supplementary IAQ solutions.  You can consult with an IAQ specialist, such as an HVAC Pro, to further discuss how to improve the IAQ in your home.

Question 2

Why is good indoor air quality necessary for comfort?

Accepted Answer

IAQ considers many factors, such as particle levels, humidity levels, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and other airborne gases and microorganisms.  Many of these factors can contribute to various health and comfort problems. For example, high humidity may cause the feeling of muggy air, which to many is uncomfortable. Not only will it be uncomfortable, but it can also inhibit the growth of unhealthy microorganisms.  Furthermore, high particle levels, VOC levels, and other gases can irritate the lungs and throat when breathing, which is not an ideal, comfortable living condition.
