Your home’s indoor air quality plays a vital role in your family’s ability to live comfortably. For allergy-prone individuals, it is especially important for keeping indoor air as clear of mold, pet dander, and dust as possible. While the average home is likely to have some contaminants that affect breathing quality, your HVAC technician can provide solutions to improve your home’s air and make your indoor environment more comfortable for the whole family.

3 Solutions HVAC Technicians Offer to Boost Indoor Air Quality

1. Filtration System

Whole-house air filtration systems, also known as air purifiers, can be installed in your home to clean and purify the air inside your home. As their name suggests, these solutions filter out unwanted particles, leaving home’s air clean and pure. They can work in tandem with your HVAC system — either being placed directly into an air duct path or within an HVAC furnace. Stand-alone units are also available and can be installed in attics or closets and work with an air intake and exhaust system.

2. Humidifier

Whole-house humidifiers are becoming an increasingly sought-after solution among homeowners. These solutions are especially useful for areas that experience cold winters, as running the heat can create seasonal dryness. Air moisture can ease breathing symptoms caused by dry air, such as dry sinuses and bloody noses. By installing a whole-house system, HVAC technicians can help to ensure your home’s air maintains proper moisture levels year-round.

3. Ultraviolet Light

Ultraviolet — UV — light air purifiers can be used to kill germs, mold, and mildew. These systems use an invisible form of electromagnetic radiation to zap microbes. As your air runs through the system, it will enter a chamber where it will be exposed to UV light. The light isn’t released into your home, however, so you won’t have to worry about any risks of UV exposure.
