Parks Heating and Air Conditioning: Why should you keep your home’s air clean?

Poor air quality can lead to poor health.

Pollutants in your home’s air can cause dizziness, headaches, nasal congestion and fatigue, plus they can aggravate allergies and asthma.

CAUSES OF INDOOR AIR QUALITY PROBLEMS
Pollutants can come from many different sources inside and outside the home. For instance, furnishings, such as upholstery may release chemicals into the air. These pollutants circulate through ductwork, entering every room and living space. And if ventilation is inadequate, the pollutants multiply. High temperature and humidity also increase concentrations of some pollutants.

HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF UNHEALTHY AIR

Odors/Chemical Vapors (Perfumes, cleaning supplies, solvents, pet odors, cooking fumes) Airborne chemicals can cause headaches, fatigue, nausea, rashes, dizziness and, in some cases, severe illness.

Purification – To combat toxins like chemicals, you have to destroy them. The PureAirTM air purification system safely and effectively removes and destroys chemical vapors and odors.
Ventilation – These systems replace stale indoor air with fresh air from outside, which helps dilute the power of toxic chemicals commonly found in household furnishings.

Particles (Pollen, dust mites, dirt, pet dander) Small, respirable particles can aggravate allergies and respiratory conditions.

Filtration – High-efficiency filtration products are designed to capture small particles and keep them from recirculating back into your home’s air. This also helps maintain the efficiency of your HVAC system.
Humidity Control – Products like the Humiditrol® whole-home dehumidification system help prevent moisture buildup, which can promote the growth of mold and mildew.

Bioaerosols (Bacteria, viruses, mold spores, fungi)
