What Is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality, or IAQ, refers to the quality of the air in and around buildings such as homes. Just as outdoor air quality can cause increased allergy symptoms and even cause those with respiratory vulnerabilities to stay inside, poor IAQ can have negative effects on the health and well-being of your home. Short-term effects of exposure to poor IAQ include allergy symptoms, asthma symptoms and allergic reactions. Long-term exposure has been linked to the development of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other serious health conditions.

Possible Contaminants in Your Air

So what kinds of pollutants can cause poor residential indoor air quality, Hammond? In addition to outdoor pollutants that can make their way inside, indoor pollutants that could be contaminating your home’s air include:

  • Dust
  • Pollen
  • Pet dander and hair
  • Bacteria and viruses
  • Moisture
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • Secondhand smoke

All of these pollutants and more can get trapped in your home at one time or another, causing frustrating allergy symptoms that only seem to happen inside. But you don’t have to suffer in silence — there are several IAQ solutions that can help remove these contaminants from your home.

Hammond Air Quality Solutions That Work

Don’t let the presence of these contaminants scare you — there are solutions to every single IAQ problem you can think of! From DIY air quality habits to professional IAQ filtration systems, our team has your back. Here are some things to consider if your home is struggling with poor air quality:

IAQ Testing

The good news is we can find out exactly what you’re fighting in your home’s air. Indoor air quality testing measures the air in your home and reveals which particles are most populous. Our dedicated team can administer this test and help you determine what the results mean for your home air health.

Natural Products

Surprisingly, many of the household products you use to freshen the air or clean surfaces actually release particulate matter and gases into your air. Try switching to all-natural cleaning products and other items like candles and air fresheners.

Air Filter Maintenance

Another big source of air pollution is a clogged air filter. When your air filter becomes coated in dirt, dust and dander, it isn’t able to remove particles from the air. Check your filters regularly to make sure they can do their job!

Whole-Home Filtration

For a powerful air filter over your entire home, whole-home filtration systems are a great choice. They filter the entire volume of your home every day, making sure that your air is cleaner to breathe. Lose the stress about what you and your family are breathing each day and leave it up to a specially designed filter!

Professional & Very Courteous

The HVAC System stopped when my Generator quit. When restarting the generator, the AC did not restart. Manuel came out, checked the entire system & got it working in 20 minutes. He was brilliant, professional & very courteous. I’ve use this company for over 25 years & have always been completely satisfied with their service.
