Why are airborne contaminants such a problem?

 

With new, tightly constructed homes and better insulation, your energy efficiency improves, saving on heating and cooling costs, but your home can be starved of fresh air. That's when stale, polluted air an recirculate through your heating and cooling system, spreading potentially harmful airborne contaminants throughout your home.

 

Airborne contaminants can take over your home.

 

Molds, fungi, bacteria, viruses, pollen, dust mites particles, and animal dander can ride in on someone's shoes or clothing, shed from your pet, or enter through open doorways and windows.

 

Sunny days shine light on your indoor air quality.

 

When the sun shines through your windows, floating particles in your air become glaringly apparent. A clean house can suddenly appear dirty, but more importantly, these tiny particles can be inhaled and could affect your family's health.

 

Does Someone in your Family Suffer From Allergies or Allergic Asthma?

 

Considering that most adults spend 90 percent of their time indoors, breathing in an estimated 2,700 gallons of air every day, your indoor air could be making you sick. Air pollution, inside as well as outside, can aggravate allergies, allergic asthma and other respiratory ailments, adversely affecting your quality of life. If the airborne contaminants reside in the home, controlling the symptoms may be difficult.

 

Allergic reactions can resemble symptoms of the common cold - runny or stuff nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, scratchy throat, and breathing difficulties. Reactions can be seasonal, but they can also occur at any time. Allergens such as pet dander, molds, viruses and bacteria can survive and spread in and through your heating and cooling system. It's a cycle that feeds on itself.
