Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Your Home
risk to your family. The EPA has shown that the air in your home can be
two to five times more polluted than the air outside and since the homeowner
spends 90% of their time inside during cold weather, improved air quality
is a must! Bacteria, viruses, mold, dust, pet dander, tobacco/cigar smoke
and dust mites can be dispersed into your air every day through your home
comfort system and can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose and throat.
They can also be dangerous to those with asthma and allergic conditions.
With a good quality air cleaner, it is possible to remove 99% of those
contaminants. American Mechanical offers several types of residential
air cleaners to improve the indoor air quality in your home. The first
type is the electronic air cleaner. These use an electrical charge to
remove unwanted particulates. The second type are the mechanical air cleaners
that use HEPA and other filters to capture harmful particles before they
are dispersed inside of your home. The third type are whole house purification
systems that will rid your home of airborne particulates, mold, bacteria
and viruses. Call American Mechanical to schedule a no cost in home consultation
to which method best meets your needs. It will be the
last call you’ll ever have to make!
WHOLE HOUSE HUMIDIFIERS. Whole-house humidifiers will provide just the
right amount of moisture to keep your home comfortable and can also help
keep harmful contaminants and airborne particles from multiplying and
circulating throughout your home. Some of the benefits of having a whole
house humidifier as part of your home comfort system include decreased
dryness in the air which can aggravate asthma and allergy symptoms and
lead to dry skin irritation. Other benefits are decreased static electricity
in your carpets, damage to furniture and flooring and increased energy
efficiency. Call American Mechanical today to talk with one of our technicians
to arrange for a no cost in home consultation for your new whole house
humidifier! You will be
happy you made the call!
AIR DUCT CLEANING IS A MUST! Indoor air quality is the major concern when
homeowners decide to have air duct cleaning performed. Your heating and
cooling system is the lungs of your home. The system takes air in and
breathes it back out. Through normal occupation in a home, we generate
a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as pet dander, dust
and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and
re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on an average. Over time, this re-circulation
causes a build-up of contaminants inside the duct work. While dirty duct
work does not mean unhealthy air inside your home, school or workplace,
they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants
that could cause serious problems with respiratory health conditions,
autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies. According to the
U. S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating
and cooling a home are wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling
system cause it to work harder and will shorten the life of your system.
Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system get dirty through
normal use. When an HVAC system is clean, it does not have to work as
hard to maintain the temperature you desire. As a result, less energy
is used, leading to improved cost effectiveness to operate the system.
