Indoor air pollution is something you need to pay attention to. The quality of air can be affected by harmful chemicals and other pollutants. Due to stagnant air and increased use of air conditioners, air pollution tends to worsen in the hot seasons. Lying open to this air can be unsafe and will make everyone vulnerable to a wide range of health issues, including respiratory problems, headaches, allergic reactions, and cardiovascular disease. If you are suffering it for long, then it indicates that your HVAC needs the maintenance.
The usual way we practice to enhance indoor air quality is to remove individual sources of pollution. For example, we are exposed to low levels of asbestos fibers by inhalation. The sources that contain asbestos can be closed or wrapped, in this way you can get rid of the asbestos fibers that are present in the air. You may think that, increasing ventilation can be effective. By doing so will increase the energy costs.
Effective HVAC maintenance strategy
If you want to improve indoor air quality, think about signing up for regular HVAC maintenance. They will plan a comprehensive maintenance strategy that can prevent airborne toxins, unpleasant odors, and other pollutants to enter in. Here are some ways the providers will implement
Filtration (checking the filters): A filter is an important part of an HVAC system. The filter in HVAC wards off dust, dirt, pet hair and other debris from moving into the system. When the filter is burdened with debris, it cannot perform its job and it results in settling these contaminants in the ducts and cause to spread to the air you breathe.
When ducts get accumulated with the dirt and other particles, the system has to work excessively to move the air through a lesser space. It results in higher bills. Hence the reason it is recommended by the manufacturer to change the filter regularly (every six months). MERV rating filters are effective in measuring the quantity of particular matter captured over a particular time. A professional HVAC contractor will determine if the filter has enough pressure to handle the dust and debris.
Cleaning Air Ducts: As the air move freely through the heating and cooling system, there is a high chance that the dust and other pollutants gather inside the duct. As the air filter, the air duct should also be in good condition. The dirt that is collected in the air duct will be circulated through your home until they are gradually inhaled by you or any member. You might have tried your own way of cleaning the duct using mechanical brushes and industrial vacuum to eliminate the accumulated dust and dirt. Professional duct cleaning will bring the needed result that will help the system to produce quality air.
Mechanical Ventilation: Mechanical ventilators are effective to bring in fresh outdoor air into your home while at the same time expel contaminated air from inside. These mechanical ventilators perform its function separately from the HVAC system and some models provided energy recovery solutions to lower your energy bills.
Benefits of Healthy Indoor Air
You’ll experience multiple benefits when the indoor air is clean and healthy.
Improved System Performance: You might be wondered how contaminants can affect your equipment. There is an increased chance that, the pollutants accumulated on the internal components will degrade the system efficiency. The system has to work harder to balance the temperature thus resulting in higher energy costs.
Less Cleaning Required: Airborne dust eventually settles on worktops, floors, and furniture. When you have an IAQ system in place, your home or office will stay well-ordered for longer periods, and the indoor air will smell fresh and odor free.
Better Health: Continuous exposure to this dirt and contaminants will enhance respiratory problems. When the air becomes pollutant free everyone in the home or office can breathe quality air and enjoy better health.
