Newton Indoor Air Services
Efficient home envelopes help homeowners in Newton lower their carbon footprint and their energy bills. However, if your home envelope is too tight, allergens and contaminants can’t escape. Whether due to insufficient ventilation, environmental factors, or everyday activities, your indoor air could be more contaminated than the air outdoors. In fact, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, it could be up to five times more contaminated.
Although HVAC air filters sieve out dust, dirt, and other common allergens, they’re meant to protect the HVAC system rather than clean your air. Most standard air filters can’t capture and retain pollen, dander, dust mites, and other irritants. If people in your household have itchy eyes, frequent bouts of coughing or sneezing, or recurring headaches, poor IAQ could be to blame.
With whole-house air filtration, you can remove more allergens from your indoor air. Our Newton HVAC team can install multi-stage air filters on HVAC air ducts. These integrated IAQ accessories clean conditioned air just before it moves through your home.
Based on their needs, homeowners in Newton can choose from a range of integrated IAQ accessories.
- Multi-stage media filters
- Sanitizing UV lights
- Air scrubbers
- Air purifiers
- Humidifiers and dehumidifiers
- HEPA filter systems
While whole-house air filtration removes more microfine particulates than standard HVAC air filters, whole-house air purification takes it a step further. Whole-house air purifiers can eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other germs. Depending on the model, it can also deactivate gaseous chemical contaminants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
For every home, indoor air services start with an IAQ assessment. We can then suggest a whole-house air purification or whole-house air filtration system tailored to your specific needs. These can be especially helpful if you have a large and busy household, indoor pets, or family members with chronic respiratory conditions.
You can also employ strategies to reduce indoor air pollutants. If you have pets, regular grooming can reduce dander. You can also switch to low- or no-VOC personal care and cleaning products. Finally, regular dusting with electrostatic cloths and using a vacuum with a HEPA filter can help.
Improved IAQ won’t just benefit your health. It can also extend the lifespan of your HVAC system and enhance its efficiency by optimizing operating conditions. With fewer particulates, you may also have to dust less often and will have a heating and cooling system that requires fewer repairs.
