Recognizing Signs of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Your home might be telling you it has an IAQ problem. Common signs to look for include:
- Increased allergy symptoms or respiratory issues when indoors compared to outdoors.
- Persistent or recurring odors that don't seem to have a clear source.
- Excessive dust buildup shortly after cleaning.
- Feeling constantly fatigued or experiencing headaches while at home.
- Visible mold growth, especially in areas with high humidity.
- Stale or stuffy air that doesn't improve with ventilation.
If you notice any of these indicators, it may be time to consider professional indoor air quality assessment and solutions.
Comprehensive Indoor Air Quality Solutions
At Power Pro Plumbing, we offer a range of services and products specifically designed to target common indoor air pollutants and improve the air you breathe in your Silverado home. Our certified technicians can assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective combination of solutions.
Air Purification and Air Scrubbers
Air purification systems are designed to actively remove pollutants from the air as it circulates through your HVAC system. We offer advanced solutions like Air Purifiers and Aerus Air Scrubbers.
- Air Purifiers: These systems capture microscopic particles, allergens, and other airborne contaminants. They can significantly reduce dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, providing relief for allergy and asthma sufferers.
- Aerus Air Scrubbers: Utilizing advanced technology, Air Scrubbers go beyond filtration to actively reduce contaminants in the air and on surfaces. They are effective against bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, and VOCs, offering a proactive approach to air and surface sanitation throughout your home.
These systems are typically integrated into your existing HVAC ductwork, treating the air as it passes through your heating and cooling system, distributing cleaner air throughout every room.
Advanced Air Filtration
While your HVAC system uses filters, standard filters are often designed primarily to protect the equipment, not necessarily to provide optimal air quality. Upgrading to higher-efficiency filters can make a significant difference.
- High-MERV Filters: MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) ratings indicate how effectively a filter captures particles. Standard filters might have a MERV rating between 4-8. We can recommend and install filters with higher MERV ratings (e.g., MERV 11-13 or higher) that capture a much greater percentage of smaller particles like fine dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even some bacteria.
- Filter Replacement: Regular replacement of your air filter is crucial regardless of its MERV rating. A clogged filter restricts airflow, reduces system efficiency, and becomes a breeding ground for contaminants. We provide guidance and service for proper filter selection and routine replacement.
Combining advanced filtration with purification technologies provides multiple layers of defense against airborne pollutants.
Professional Duct Cleaning
Your home's ductwork acts as the respiratory system of your HVAC unit, circulating air throughout your house. Over time, dust, dirt, allergens, mold, and even pests can accumulate inside the ducts. Every time your heating or cooling system turns on, these contaminants can be blown into your living spaces, negatively impacting air quality.
Professional duct cleaning involves using specialized equipment to dislodge and remove buildup from inside your ductwork system. This process effectively removes years of accumulated debris, significantly reducing the amount of pollutants being circulated through your home. Benefits of duct cleaning include improved air quality, reduced allergens, and potentially improved HVAC system efficiency.
Thermostat Installation & Repair
While primarily controlling temperature, modern thermostats, particularly smart and programmable models, play a role in optimizing indoor air quality.
- System Control: A properly functioning thermostat ensures your HVAC system runs as needed to filter and circulate air. Smart thermostats allow for precise scheduling and can integrate with IAQ accessories like humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and ventilation systems.
- Ventilation Control: Some advanced systems and thermostats can be programmed to ensure adequate fresh air ventilation, which is important for diluting indoor pollutants.
- Monitoring: Certain smart thermostats offer basic air quality monitoring features or can integrate with dedicated IAQ monitors, providing insights into your home's environment.
Whether you need repair for an existing unit or want to explore upgrading to a smart thermostat for better climate and air quality control, our technicians can assist.
