Indoor Air Quality

Why Does Indoor Air Quality Matter?

Sneezing, coughing, scratchy throat, dray cracked hands?  When you’re used to living with poor air quality, you may not even realize the impact that it has on your life. Poor indoor air quality can contribute to disease and illness, including allergies, asthma, and more serious respiratory conditions. Your air quality issues can also affect your home, from the wood in your walls to the fabrics, antiques, and artwork you have around your home. Moisture and pollutants can warp and damage them.

They can also make your home feel colder since less humid air holds less heat. A humidifier can fix all of this and make your home cozy in the winter.

What about true HEPA filters or UV light filters? The professionals at DC Air can help you make sure that the HEPA filter you’re buying will have the effect that you want it to. You can trust our team to be approachable and honest.  
• Heat recovery ventilators:Heat Recovery Ventilators, or HRV for short, is a device which brings fresh air into your house.  Quite simply the HRV is tied into your HVAC system, removes old stale air and introduces fresh air from outside into your house.  A simple concept though requires certified technicians to install and balance this equipment to ensure it works properly. It’s an energy-efficient way to ventilate your whole home.
