What is indoor air quality?
Indoor air quality is about protecting the air in your home from dust particles, pollen, mold, spores, bacteria, viruses, pet dander, etc. The reason why this is so important is it affects the health of you and your family, and has impact on your heating and cooling costs. In addition, it will help you save energy!
Think your indoor air is safe?
We spend 90% of our lives indoors, where air quality is frequently up to 25 times more polluted than the air outdoors. Indoor air can be littered with respirable dust, pollen, mold, spores, bacteria, viruses, and more. A cubic foot of indoor air can have as many as 30 million pollutant particles – particles that can trigger allergies, cause headaches, lung irritation, fatigue, and contribute to the spread of infectious diseases.
The EPA has reported that indoor air quality can be up to 100 times worse than the air outside. In fact, the American College of Allergists states that 50% of illnesses are caused or aggravated by poor indoor air quality. Pet owners are particularly vulnerable because pets give off hair and dander just walking around, and frequent vacuuming and pet baths only cut down somewhat on the problem. And standard air conditioning filters can not even begin to solve it.
Allergy sufferers are especially vulnerable.
Hay fever and seasonal allergies can ruin a person’s quality of life, forcing sufferers to take a regimen of drugs just to control the effects of pollen on their system. Attacks can be triggered by breathing pollen, respirable dust, molds, spores, or pet dander. Some of these particles can be as small as half of one micron in size – too small to be caught by 1-inch disposable furnace filters.
Heating and air conditioning equipment also suffers. So do your energy bills.
A standard 1-inch furnace filter – the kind you replace monthly – has one primary function; to keep large objects from damaging heating and cooling equipment. That means dust and dirt will accumulate on the furnace (or heat pump) and air-conditioning coil.
This accumulation makes your system less efficient, leading to potential increases in your energy bills and maintenance costs. It also provides the perfect environment for mold growth.
