What Contributes to Poor Indoor Air Quality?
Indoor air quality (IAQ) can be influenced by numerous factors from both within and outside your home.
- Indoor Pollutants: Common household items such as cleaning supplies, paints, and building materials release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can be harmful at elevated levels.
- Moisture & Humidity: Excess moisture from air leaks, high humidity, or inadequate ventilation can encourage mold and mildew growth, affecting IAQ. High moisture levels can also lead to wood rot and structural damage.
- Inadequate Ventilation: Insufficient ventilation prevents fresh air from circulating and traps indoor pollutants, particularly in moisture-rich areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and attics.
- Outdoor Contaminants: Pollen, dust, and other outdoor pollutants can seep in through doors, windows, or air leaks, exacerbating allergy and asthma symptoms.
- Combustion Appliances: Furnaces, gas stoves, and fireplaces can emit harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide if not properly vented, posing significant health risks.
How to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Your Home
ZEN Air Heating and Cooling offers several services to enhance your home’s indoor air quality, creating a healthier living space.
- Heat Pump Installation: Heat pumps provide an all-electric solution for heating and cooling, removing the risks of combustion-based systems. Our ducted and ductless mini-split heat pumps boost energy efficiency while improving air quality by reducing dust accumulation in ductwork.
- Insulation & Air Sealing: Effective insulation and air sealing create a barrier against outdoor elements, preventing moisture buildup and keeping pollutants and pests out. We use high-quality materials such as spray foam, cellulose, and foam board for durable, long-lasting results.
- Ductwork Services: Dust, mold, and other contaminants can build up in poorly maintained ducts. Repairing or replacing old, leaky ducts enhances air quality and boosts energy efficiency and HVAC performance. We provide complete ductwork services, including sealing, repairs, and replacements.
Identify IAQ Issues with an Energy Audit
The combination of densely populated areas, changing seasons, and high outdoor pollution can greatly impact the air quality inside your home. Keeping indoor air quality in check is crucial for comfort and well-being, but it can easily be compromised if not addressed.
Various factors within your home, from daily habits to structural issues, can contribute to poor air quality. ZEN Air Heating and Cooling provides expert home services based on building science, ensuring reliable solutions to maintain a healthy indoor environment.
