What is Indoor Air Quality?

Air is filled with microscopic particles, and most of them are harmless. The ones that aren’t harmless, like dust, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores, cause health issues for many people. People with allergies to those things suffer when the pollen count is high or when the cat or dog is shedding. Indoor air quality services can resolve these issues and provide you with needed fresh air inside your home.

Extended exposure to chemicals from some kinds of furniture dyes, cleaning solvents, and other household chemicals can have long-term physical consequences. Not everyone will suffer due to chemical exposure, but those in poor health may be affected. 

Poor indoor air quality affects your sleep and overall health. Better indoor air quality offers improved health, better concentration, improved sleep, and other benefits. It’s been shown that workers and family members greatly benefit from indoor air quality solutions.

How do Air Purification Systems Work?

Air purification systems help remove the indoor pollutants and molecules that affect air quality. In healthcare settings, high-powered HEPA filters and other devices remove dangerous pathogens from the air, ensuring that visitors and staff are not exposed to diseases while they work.

You probably don’t need anything so powerful in your home or workplace. However, during the COVID-19 emergency, some businesses found that their air filters weren’t doing the job they had hoped. Air purification systems should at least remove dust and other debris that carry viruses and bacteria through the ventilation system.

An air purifier’s primary health benefit is allergy relief. Air purifiers remove allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and other common causes of itchy eyes and congestion. For those with asthma or other upper respiratory diseases, air purifiers reduce particulate matter like smoke. Smoke and “volatile organic compounds” such as incense and perfumes will not be removed by ordinary air filters but can be eliminated by air purifiers.

Air purifiers can remove strong odors such as cooking smells, cigarette smoke, and outdoor odors from cars or other emissions. If you live in an apartment or condo complex, air purifiers improve your comfort level by reducing unpleasant aromas that come through shared vents or common areas. At night, you may sleep better thanks to fewer dust particles and irritants in the air.

Types of Air Purification Systems

The type of air purification you need depends on what you have in your home. When Eastern Shore technicians come to your home, they will discuss what kinds of systems are available and what would be best in your situation.

Activated Carbon Filters absorb gas, smoke, VOC odors, and other fumes. They are ideal for situations when strong smells are the primary issue. Carbon filters can be placed in already existing HVAC ductwork.

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) Filters are intended for those with severe allergies, chronic health issues, and households with high-risk family members, such as young children, elderly members with heart or lung problems, or those with compromised immune systems. HEPA filters remove up to 99% of all particulate matter, including bacteria.

UV Air Purification Systems are placed in vents and ductwork. These systems kill bacteria, mold, and some viruses. UV purifiers should be used with other filters and purifiers, since they remove biological contaminants but not dust or other particulates.

Ionizers (Ionic Air Purifiers) use negatively charged ions that attach to particles. The charged particles settle out of the air onto a collection plate. Although effective, ionizers can produce ozone, a respiratory irritant.

Electrostatic precipitators also charge airborne particles and cause them to settle onto collection plates. Precipitators are efficient and effective but require regular cleaning and maintenance to stay operational.

Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO). A complex system using UV light and a chemical catalyst to break pollutants down into other substances. This system is usually used in large commercial systems.

Eastern Shore’s Air Quality Services

Many New Jersey HVAC companies now provide air quality services. We do more than just change your air purifier filters and offer you the latest model of in-room purifier. Specific air quality improvements give your home healthier air and improved air flow while increasing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

When we do an air quality check at your property, we begin by checking outside your home for any possible sources of harmful contaminants. Mold, pollen, and smoke often come from outside the home. After that, our technicians look inside for places where pollutants and odors are likely to be pulled into your HVAC intakes.

Once we complete that survey, we can test for a number of specific contaminants based on your particular needs. If you’re primarily concerned about foul odors, the technicians will test for gasses, VOCs, and noxious chemicals. If the problem is allergens, we can test for pollen, dust mites, and animal dander.

After the air quality test is complete, we’ll sit down with you to discuss the best options for your air purification system. In some cases, a single room may be at fault. In that case, an in-room air purifier combined with improved HVAC air filters can solve the problem.

If more than one room is involved, you may need to consider upgrading your entire air filtration system. Eastern Shore has a range of financing options that can make your decision easier while we work to resolve your air purification needs.
