Frequently Asked Questions
1. What causes poor indoor air quality?
Poor indoor air quality is often caused by inadequate ventilation, indoor pollutants (dust, pet dander, cleaning chemicals), mold growth, and high or low humidity levels.
2. Is there a test for poor air quality?
Professional air quality tests are available to detect contaminants like dust, mold, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in your home’s air.
3. Are expensive air filters worth it?
High-quality filters can significantly improve indoor air quality by capturing smaller particles and contaminants that basic filters may miss, making them worth the investment for many homeowners.
4. Are portable or whole-house air quality solutions better?
Whole-house solutions are more effective for consistent, full-home air purification, as they work with your HVAC system to clean the air throughout your living space.
5. Can I use a UV air purifier and humidifier?
Yes, UV purifiers and humidifiers complement each other by removing airborne bacteria and viruses while maintaining a balanced humidity level for healthier air.
6. Do carpets affect indoor air quality?
Carpets can trap dust, allergens, and other pollutants. Regular cleaning, along with a quality air purification system, can help improve air quality in carpeted homes.
7. How does outdoor air enter a home?
Outdoor air can enter through open doors and windows, ventilation systems, and small cracks or gaps in the building structure, potentially bringing in pollutants and allergens.
