Common Signs Your Home Needs IAQ Solutions
Recognizing the signs that your indoor air quality may need attention is key. These signs can manifest in various ways, such as:
- Increased or persistent allergy symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes when indoors
- Unexplained symptoms: Headaches, fatigue, or dizziness
- Odors: Lingering or stale smells that don't dissipate
- Dust buildup: Excessive dust accumulation shortly after cleaning
- Mold: Visible mold or mildew growth, often in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements
- Humidity imbalance: Uneven humidity levels throughout the home (too dry or too damp)
- Environmental sensitivity: Experiencing symptoms only when you are at home and improving when you leave
Addressing these issues requires a professional approach, starting with identifying the specific problems present in your home's air.
Power Pro Plumbing’s Full-Spectrum IAQ Services
Indoor Air Quality Testing
The foundation of improving your home's air is understanding what's in it. At Power Pro Plumbing, we begin with professional IAQ testing to identify the types and levels of pollutants present, including allergens, mold spores, VOCs, and carbon monoxide. This clear diagnosis allows our technicians to recommend targeted, data-driven solutions.
Air Purification Technologies
Once pollutants are identified, we offer several air purification systems tailored to your needs:
- HEPA Filtration: Captures dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores using high-efficiency filters
- UV Germicidal Lights: Installed in ductwork to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and mold spores
- Electronic Air Cleaners: Attract and capture particles smaller than traditional filters can catch
These solutions can be integrated into your HVAC system or offered as standalone units, depending on your home's configuration and air quality needs.
Humidity Management
Maintaining optimal humidity is essential for health and comfort. At Power Pro Plumbing, we offer:
- Whole-home humidifiers: Add moisture to dry air to relieve respiratory irritation
- Dehumidifiers: Remove excess moisture, preventing mold and allergen growth
We help you maintain the ideal indoor humidity range of 30-50%.
Ventilation Enhancements
Filtering air is only part of the solution—your home also needs proper ventilation. We offer:
- ERVs and HRVs: These systems expel stale indoor air and draw in fresh outdoor air while conserving energy
Our technicians assess your current ventilation setup and provide efficient upgrade recommendations.
