Did you know that the average American spends about 90% of their time indoors? When the outdoor temperatures are hot and humid or frigid and blustery, you probably avoid the outdoors as much as possible. In these circumstances, you want to know if your home’s heating, cooling and ventilation systems are operating at peak performance.
But this equipment may be circulating more than hot and cool air. Your ductwork can easily become a highway for pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, viruses and other airborne pollutants. The result is indoor air that is two to five times more polluted than the air outside — and at times it can be up to 100 times more polluted.
However, some solutions can improve your indoor air quality (IAQ) and promote a healthier, more comfortable home. Mirabito Energy Products is happy to sell, install and service top-rated IAQ products from Lennox in the Finger Lanks, Central and Western New York, Eastern Connecticut, Western Massachusetts and parts of Pennsylvania and Vermont.
First and foremost, poor IAQ can have a considerable impact on your health and comfort. It can exacerbate allergy symptoms and respiratory illnesses. Airborne pollutants lead to dry, itchy skin; eye irritation; coughing; and sneezing.
Impurities can also result in unpleasant odors, faster dust accumulation, and quicker wear and tear on shelving, finishes, wallpaper and artwork.
Here are some of the most popular IAQ solutions that the Mirabito team offers.
Your HVAC system’s air filter is the first line of defense against airborne pollutants. Unfortunately, many furnaces and air conditioners come with filters that have a lower minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) — resulting in more pollutants slipping through.
Upgrading to a higher-value filter can immediately boost your home’s IAQ
Investing in one of these top-rated whole-house air purification systems makes a huge difference for your home comfort and health. The PureAir system removes more impurities from your air, including 90% of germs and bacteria down to .01 micron and more than 99% of the virus that causes COVID-19. This product connects directly to your forced-air HVAC system and cleans the air before it reaches you and your loved ones. It also eliminates odors from the air in the process!
Eradicate mold, mildew and bacteria with these high-tech IAQ products. Maximum-intensity ultraviolet light damages the cellular structure of these pollutants, preventing them from circulating in your home. Running a germicidal UV product for only 45 minutes can slash the concentration of airborne microorganisms in half.
UV-light air cleaning products can go directly into your ducts and run continuously. They produce zero ozone.
When you calibrate the humidity levels of your indoor air, you can make your house feel more comfortable, protect your finishes and furniture and take care of your family’s health. When airborne moisture is at the right level, you’ll see fewer colds, nosebleeds and sinus infections.
