How Do Air Conditioners Improve Indoor Air Quality

Looking to improve your indoor air quality?

Many people turn to investing in air purifiers or plants however, your air conditioner is one of the easiest ways to achieve this! An air conditioner’s role in improving indoor air quality is significant, yet often overlooked.

Understanding how your air conditioner can improve your air will help you create a healthier, more comfortable living environment.

Here are some ways your HVAC achieves this:

Filtration

Your air conditioner has filters that are designed to capture dust, pollen, pet dander. This circulation process helps remove unwanted particles in the air, which creates a cleaner and healthier space.

Humidity Control 

In addition to regulating temperature, your air conditioner also controls your indoor humidity levels. High levels of humidity promote mold and mildew growth, and contribute to health issues like respiratory problems and allergies.

By removing excess moisture from your home, air conditioners improve your overall quality of air.

Ventilation 

While air conditioners primarily recirculate indoor air, they also play a role in ventilation.

Many modern buildings have ventilation systems integrated with their HVAC systems to introduce fresh outdoor air and remove stale indoor air.

Ventilation like this helps dilute indoor pollutants which is another way to maintain a healthy indoor environment.

How to Make Sure Your Air Conditioner is Improving Your Indoor Air Quality

When’s the last time you had an HVAC inspection?

After spending hours outside sweating through the summer heat, there is nothing that feels better than coming back to your cool, comfortable home. The last thing you’ll want to deal with in this situation are unpleasant odors, unwanted dust, or poor air flow coming out of your air conditioner. 

The state of your indoor air quality is directly related to the way you upkeep your air conditioner. If too much time has passed since it last received maintenance, your air quality will begin to decline. 

Here are some ways to keep your air conditioner happy: 

Choose the Right System

Look for systems with high-efficiency filters, additional purification features, and energy-efficient designs. Not sure where to start? Consult with us to help you choose the right system based off your specific indoor air quality needs.

Prepping Your Home for Colder Weather

Is your home ready for cold weather? 

Do you know how to prepare your HVAC system for the upcoming winter months?

 

September is here, and fall is just around the corner. It’s an exciting time in Michigan – leaves changing colors, trips to the cider mill, and college football. But it also means the return of dreaded cold weather. Enjoying the great things about fall is hard to do when your home isn’t staying warm. Follow these tips below to get prepared: 

 

Change Your Air Filter

Your air filter might be pretty dirty after working hard all summer. Replace it with a new one to make sure it effectively keeps out dust and dirt from your indoor air space.

 

Open a Window

While it’s still pleasant outside, let in some fresh air! Opening up your windows can be a great way to improve the air quality in your home before it gets too cold. 

 

Clear Your Vents

Blocked vents can be a simple answer to ineffective heating in your home. Before it gets too late into the fall, make sure your vents are cleared of any furniture so your HVAC system can work like it’s supposed to. 

 

Check for Air Leaks

Inspecting your home for air leaks can save you a lot of trouble when it gets cold. Air leaks let in unwanted cold air and can drive your energy bill up.

How the RGF’s REME HALO® Purifies Your Air

Are you worried about COVID-19 in your home or business?

Want peace of mind for your family or your employees?

The RGF® Environmental Group, Inc., a leading environmental design and manufacturing company, has released the results of a third-party study that reveal REME HALO® efficacy of 99.9% against the COVID-19 virus. 

The REME HALO® active air purification system testing showed the SARS-CoV-2 virus was significantly neutralized within occupied space, reducing the risk of person-to-person infection by respiratory particles and aerosols. The REME HALO® is an “active” solution that neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 within occupied space, reducing or eliminating the travel of virus particles through the HVAC system filters or UV air purification systems. The studies are ongoing.

Every time a hydro peroxide molecule comes into contact with contaminants, it quickly breaks them down and destroys them, restoring the air to its clean, natural state. The system also uses positive and negative ions to charge the air, causing dust, dander and pollen to stick together, making your existing air filter equipment more efficient at capturing these particles.
