The pandemic may nearly be behind us, but homeowners now\nmore than ever are interested in how to ensure their homes are as safe and\nhealthy as possible. A lot of this has to do with how they\u2019re addressing their\nindoor air quality needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you think about indoor\nair quality, <\/em>you probably think about the temperature of your home. This is\ndefinitely an important part of good indoor air quality, but it is not the\nwhole picture. To truly achieve great IAQ, you want the right products and services\nin place to make sure that the air you\u2019re breathing indoors is healthy. What\ncan you do to make sure this is the case? Consider the following installations!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Whole House Dehumidifier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve probably seen room dehumidifiers or small portable\nair purifiers that also dehumidify a room. But if you really want to tackle the\nhumidity problem that Florida homes are too well-known for, then you\u2019ll want to\nconsider the installation of a whole-house dehumidifier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installed directly in your ductwork, this system helps to\ndry out the air. The ideal relative humidity level in any given home is between\n30-50% and anything above that can create problems like mold and mildew growth,\nwood rot, and more. What we are saying is that too much humidity can not only\ncause property damage, but also an unhealthy situation for you and your family.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Air Purifier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air purifiers are different than basic air filters. The air filter that comes standard with your HVAC system is in place to protect the HVAC system itself from dust, dirt, and other debris that can get in the components and cause system damage. Air filters are very important for AC efficiency and functionality, but they really won\u2019t do much to tackle any indoor air quality problems you have like contaminants and pollutants in the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, there are a couple different types of air\npurifiers. One or both may benefit you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ionization air purifier <\/em>provides a positive charge to particles and pollutants in the air, drawing them to a negatively charged plate where they can later be cleaned off. This is effective at removing dust and other allergens like pollen and pet hair from the air. It\u2019s also sufficient for eliminating some viruses and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). This is a great option for when particles are already in your air. So what about if they\u2019re in your ductwork just waiting <\/em>for the chance to enter your indoor air?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this, you\u2019ll need a UV air purifier. <\/em>Also called a UV germicidal light, this system attacks and reduces microorganisms that could be lurking in the cool, damp environment of your ductwork. This includes mold, mildew, and viruses. It\u2019s installed into your ductwork, like the above-mentioned products, and from there it uses just the right amount of UV radiation to kill single-celled microorganisms so you never have to deal with their effects! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
