Why Is Good Indoor Air Quality So Important?

All air has some level of pollutants, like dust, pet dander, or bacteria. You may not think much about them because you can’t see them. But when you consider that most of us spend more than 90 percent of our time indoors, the air you breathe becomes a lot more important.

Fortunately, our Bryant® professionals excel at analyzing air quality and recommending the right solutions. In fact, many of our customers are surprised by how much more comfortable they feel once we’ve addressed their concerns.

The Proper Air Quality Solutions

For better indoor air quality, start with the basics: your air filter. By replacing that filter every one to three months, you can keep airborne pollutants like dust, dirt, and more from circulating your house. It’s a simple and inexpensive way to keep your family healthy.

At ComfortAire, we offer even more solutions you can use on top of those clean air filters. For example, air purifiers. These systems capture and kill finer particles and pollutants from the air before they reach your ductwork and the air you breathe.

Air ventilators also help remove those particles by replacing stale indoor air with a fresh outdoor supply—all without losing heat or cool energy.

Have dry or humid air? ComfortAire can help with that, too. For high humidity, we recommend whole-home dehumidifiers. These units remove excess moisture in the air—along with mold, mildew, and other microorganisms that thrive in it—and help your home feel cooler.

On the flipside, whole-home humidifiers help fix dry air. Humidifiers release moisture back into your home, solving problems such as cracked skin, irritated sinuses, and even certain viruses. Plus, your home will feel warmer with higher humidity, letting you set your thermostat lower in the winter without losing comfort.

We also recommend and install many other air quality solutions. Look to us for carbon monoxide, UV light, and ductless zoning system installation, too.

Don’t Forget Your Ductwork

When was the last time you had your ducts cleaned? If you don’t remember, now is the time to have it done. It’s common for airborne contaminants to settle in your vents, where they can get swept away and circulated through your house.

Our experts can prevent that from happening. We’ll clear away everything, from dust to cobwebs and more, keep you healthy, and improve air flow. We recommend this service every five to seven years for best results (or more often if you have pets or children).

FAQs

Are air purifiers and air cleaners the same thing?

No. Air cleaners filter the air to remove contaminants such as dust and secondhand smoke. In comparison, air purifiers capture and kill airborne contaminants using negative ions or ultraviolet (UV) lights. Simply put, air cleaners filter the air, air purifiers sanitize it.

How can I fix the humidity in my house?

Ideally, your home’s humidity levels should fall between 30 and 50 percent. The easiest way to balance those levels is with a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier. These systems can help ease problems associated with improper indoor humidity such as dry and itchy skin, allergies and colds, and even static electricity.

How can I control excessive dust in my house?

Excessive dust could come from dirty ductwork. That’s why we recommend having your ducts professionally cleaned every five to seven years. Installing an air purifier can also help clear excessive dust.

How do you fix hot and cold spots around the house?

Ductless or zoning systems are effective in keeping individual rooms or areas comfortable without wasting energy. They can be installed on almost any wall for quiet, even room temperatures. Contact us today to see if these systems are right for your home.

Should I set my thermostat to “on” or “auto”?

The answer depends on what you want the fan to do. To keep energy costs down, the “auto” setting is best because it runs your fan to maintain the temperature set on your thermostat.

If you prefer a more consistent airflow and temperature, set the fan to “on”. This setting will also help keep more filtered air circulating throughout your home—which can benefit those with bad allergies or asthma.

Which air quality systems help get rid of allergies?

There are several products that can help, depending on what you’re allergic to. For example, air cleaners can remove up to 95 percent of dust and pet dander in your home. Air purifiers use UV lights to kill viruses, bacteria, mold, pollen, and more.
