Richardson Heating and Air Conditioning Service owner Steve Lauten, President of Total Air and Heat Co., has ways to improve your indoor air quality.
REDUCE INDOOR AIR POLLUTION & HEALTH RISKS
Many of us live in homes with unhealthy indoor air quality and we do not know it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks indoor air pollution as among the top five environmental health risks, with studies indicating that indoor levels of many pollutants can be up to more than 100 times higher than outdoor levels.
Even the cleanest homes can allow indoor pollutants to flourish. Your HVAC system can collect a variety of insidious contaminants, including bacteria, mold spores, fungi, pollen, pet dander, toxic particles and dust, and recirculate them throughout your home. Do not be lured into believing that cleaning your air ducts alone will help ensure that your indoor air quality is at its best. All of the components of your HVAC system, including the coil, must be professionally cleaned to reduce recirculation of indoor air contaminants.
In addition to HVAC system and duct cleaning, you can vastly improve your indoor air quality by installing a TRANE CleanEffect ™ Air Purification System. As certified Trane ™ Comfort Specialist(tm), Total Air and Heat sells and installs high efficiency Trane systems as well as the TRANE CleanEffectis patented breakthrough air cleaning technology that removes up to 99.98 percent of all airborne allergens from the air that passes through the filter, making it eight times more effective than even the best HEPA filters, and 100 times more effective than a standard 1 inch filter or ionic-type room appliance! Trane CleanEffects even removes particles as small as .3 microns, a size that eludes most air cleaners.
DO YOU KNOW THE AIR QUALITY IN YOUR HOME?
If you want to know how your indoor air quality measures up, Total Air and Heat offers a high-tech check-up using a small device called AirAdvice. The air quality is continuously analyzed and data is sent to their technicians via the Internet. The unit also records temperature, humidity and gasses like carbon monoxide, which can build up doe to poor ventilation and exhaust problems. After the analysis is complete, Total Air provides an all encompassing report.
Leaky air ducts can also impact indoor air quality and make your system inefficient, resulting in higher energy bills (up to 30 percent of your heating and air conditioning can be lost due to leaky ducts). Total Air was one of four companies that participated with the EPA in a pilot program concerning leaking air ducts. To ensure that your ducts are in peak condition we will test them and perform duct repairs if needed.
