Trustworthy HVAC-R Services for Your Business

Poor IAQ is often caused by inadequate ventilation, lack of fresh outdoor air, or contaminated air entering the building. Other common factors include poorly maintained HVAC systems, excess moisture or humidity leading to mold growth, and indoor activities like construction or the use of harsh cleaning products. Regular HVAC maintenance and proper ventilation are key to maintaining healthy air quality.

Good IAQ means maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity level, while ensuring a consistent supply of fresh outdoor air, and effectively controlling pollutants from both indoor and outdoor sources. These factors contribute to a healthier, more comfortable environment for building occupants.

Indoor air quality refers to the condition of the air inside a building as it relates to the health and comfort of the occupants. Including factors such as temperature, humidity and the presence of airborne pollutants such as dust, mold, or chemicals.

You should replace your furnace air filter every 30 to 90 days, depending on the filter type and your indoor environment. Higher-quality filters may last longer, but it’s always important to use the correct size to ensure proper airflow and filtration. The filter is designed to capture dust, allergens, and other particles helping keep your air clean.

If it’s been more than 3 months since your last filter change – replace it right away.

On average, you should have your air ducts cleaned at least every 3-5 years or on an as needed basis. Other factors can determine the frequency as well, such as:

• Allergies, Asthmas or Respiratory Issues: Should have their vent ducts cleaned annually to help reduce the number of dust mites in their home vents and bedding
• Before moving into a home (new or used): To remove dust, debris, and potential allergens left by construction or previous occupants
• After new construction or major renovations: Due to drywall dust, sawdust, or other materials in the system
• If you are expecting a baby or have young children at home
• If you notice mold, musty odors, or excessive dust build-up.

According to the EPA, cleaning your HVAC system can improve its efficiency by removing dust and debris from sensitive components. Clean systems are less likely to break down, have a longer lifespan, and generally operate more efficiently than systems that are neglected.

Air duct cleaning also supports better indoor air quality by reducing allergens, dust mites, and other airborne irritants – helping to protect your family’s health and comfort.
