Tips and Tricks to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
With spring imminent, that means that allergies are lurking close behind them. What do you do when you keep away from the outside pollen but find yourself struggling with inside allergens at the same time? Well, Contra Costa Heating & AC has some tools that can keep you comfy this spring season by enhancing your indoor air quality:
High efficiency air filters
To receive a bigger surface area and smaller resistance to air flow in your air conditioning filter, there are some types of filters that are four to five inches wide which are gathered and folded like an accordion. These filters allocate higher efficiency and upper MERV ratings, which make them able to eliminate the tiniest particles of dirt while even offsetting odors.
Humidifiers and dehumidifiers
Having too much humidity and having insufficient humidity in your home can both be problematic. To steer clear of mold accumulation or respiratory problems, Contra Costa Heating & AC offers whole-home humidity products that are the best solution to any indoor air quality issues.
One-inch air filters
Thinner filters should be swapped out every so often, contingent on pets, the outdoor environment in the Bay Area or the number of people staying in your home. When your filter is unclean and isn’t replaced often, it works tougher than it needs to and can create poor air quality.
Germicidal Lights
Mold and bacteria develop quite easily in contemporary, energy efficient homes. When these allergens blend with our breathing air, they can produce health and allergy difficulties for many folks in your family. Ultraviolet lights destroy the DNA in mold, fungi, microbes and spores inside the coils of your system, repressing them from moving through the air in your home.
Electrostatic air filters
These filters create a durable static charge as air goes through them, accumulating tiny particles that would otherwise be let through with disposable filters. Electrostatic filters are washable, but while they don’t need replacement, they demand cleaning just as frequently.
Whole home solution
The PureAir Air Purification System is a whole-home cooling answer that uses photocatalytic oxidation and a high-level efficiency carbon filter to resist germs and microorganisms, airborne particles and chemical odors, as well as other indoor pollutants.
