Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you’re trying to learn about the effects of poor air quality or want to discuss the benefits of installing an air purifier in your HVAC system, we’re ready to help!
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
That really depends on a number of factors. In general, we recommend cleaning your air ducts every 3 years/ Our team can help you identify factors that may require more or less frequent cleanings. If you have several pets or smoke, for example, you may need more frequent duct cleaning services.
Are indoor plants effective in improving indoor air quality?
Indoor plants give off oxygen, but have a minimal effect on indoor air quality. That’s because the pollutants in your home may include biological and inorganic compounds unimpacted by plants. Instead of buying more ferns, we recommend investing in better ventilation and installing a whole-home air purifier.
How can I tell if my home has poor indoor air quality?
Do you have frequent headaches, dry skin, or allergic reactions when you walk in the door of your home? Signs of high contamination levels and poor ventilation include lingering odors, visible dust, mold growth, or worsening respiratory symptoms.
What is the ideal indoor humidity level?
If your home humidity exceeds 30% to 50%, it can negatively impact your air quality. Low humidity promotes dryness that can irritate your skin, eyes, and nose. High humidity can promote mold growth. Work with our team to determine the best solutions to achieve optimal home humidity levels.
Can poor indoor air quality affect my sleep?
Yes. Pollutants and allergens can make it harder to breathe while you sleep, often resulting in loss of sleep quality. Coughing, sneezing, and other symptoms can prevent you from getting the rest you deserve. With better air quality, you can improve sleep hygiene for your whole family.
