Professional Indoor Air Quality Service
It is surprisingly easy to introduce harmful particles into your home. Pets contaminate the air with dander, and plants naturally produce pollen. Most household chemicals release volatile organic compounds. Your home may even harbor infectious microbes and other organic threats. If you want to protect yourself, you must find a way to clean the air.
You can use a variety of air purifiers to eliminate airborne threats. We advise most of our clients to install a powerful HEPA filter. They trap animal dander, dust, spores, and other tiny particles. HEPA filters can even trap some microbes. We can supplement them with specialized systems that eliminate other contaminants. For example, carbon filters capture volatile organic compounds, which can slip through HEPA filters. We encourage you to combine several systems to take advantage of their unique strengths.
Our indoor air quality service team can use UV lights to protect you from bacteria, viruses, and other organic contaminants. Most living cells include DNA, which guides their metabolic processes. UV light damages that DNA and deactivates the cells. Some air purifiers use that principle to fight against disease. They consist of a small set of UV lamps inside your HVAC system. As air passes through the system, it comes into contact with the light, which destroys most biological threats.
Mold spores are among the most common airborne particles, but you can prevent them from accumulating in your home. Most fungi require a humid environment, such as a basement or bathroom. Dry air prevents them from spreading and releasing their spores. We can install a dehumidifier to keep your home at the perfect humidity level. It will disrupt the mold’s lifecycle and stop them from releasing spores.
