Indoor Air Quality

Q: Why should I purchase a new heating or air conditioning system?

We realize that purchasing a heating or air conditioning system is no small matter. However, if your existing system is old, in need of repair or simply inefficient, purchasing a new unit, one which can be as much as 60% more efficient than a system purchased just 10 years ago, can turn into a long term benefit. Rather than continuing to pay for ongoing maintenance and costly monthly bills, invest in a new system today that will save you money for years to come.

Q: What happens when I replace my old system?

To install the most efficient HVAC system in your household, a detailed inspection should first be performed by your installation contractor. The inspection by your contractor should include, as a minimum, the inspection of your home’s ductwork, insulation, refrigerant piping, electrical service, wiring, thermostat, condensate piping, flue piping, flue terminations, chimney liner, slabs, filter, driers, registers, grills, drain pans and evaporator coil.

Q: What goes into installing a new system?

If you install a new system, most of the items from the “What happens when I replace my old system?” will need to be installed as well. Beyond equipment, the most important component installed with a new system is the ductwork. Ductwork is composed of two parts, supply and return. Supply duct is attached to the outflow of the new system, delivering air to each zone in a home. The amount of air reaching each zone is determined by the size of supply ductwork connecting it to your system. Your dealer will help you determine the size of all the supply ductwork in your home. The second part of the ductwork, the return duct, attaches to the inlet of the new system and draws air out of the spaces to be heated or cooled. Attached to the return duct is the filter. The filter should be placed as near to the furnace or air handler as possible. Ductwork can be either fiberglass or metal and must be properly sized in order to evenly distribute the proper amount of air to each room.

Q: How long will my system last?

Maintenance and service play a key role in the lifecycle of a heating or air conditioning system. If all recommended maintenance and service actions are taken, it is believed that an air conditioner should last 12-15 years and a gas furnace should last from 20 to 25 years.

What is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the cleanliness and condition of the air inside buildings, impacting the health, comfort, and well-being of occupants. IAQ is influenced by various factors such as pollutants, humidity, ventilation, and temperature.

Key Factors Affecting Indoor Air Quality

1. Airborne Pollutants

Common harmful substances that affect IAQ include:

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs):
Emitted by paints, cleaning products, building materials, and furniture.
Particulate Matter:
Tiny particles from dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke.
Mold and Mildew:
Fungi that thrive in damp environments, releasing spores into the air.
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂):
A byproduct of respiration, especially problematic in poorly ventilated spaces.
Carbon Monoxide (CO):
A colorless, odorless, and potentially deadly gas, often caused by faulty heating appliances.

2. Ventilation

Proper airflow reduces the buildup of indoor pollutants and ensures fresh air circulation. Poor ventilation can lead to the accumulation of harmful gases and allergens.

3. Humidity

High Humidity (>60%):
Encourages mold growth and increases discomfort.
Low Humidity (<30%):
Dries out mucous membranes, exacerbating respiratory issues and skin irritation.

4. Temperature

Extremely hot or cold indoor temperatures can:

Cause respiratory discomfort and dry skin.
Increase the spread of bacteria and viruses.
Reduce overall indoor comfort.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Health: Poor IAQ can lead to respiratory problems, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and long-term conditions like heart disease or lung cancer.
Comfort: Clean air improves the overall comfort of living and working environments.
Productivity: In workplaces, good air quality enhances focus, reduces absenteeism, and boosts overall productivity.

Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality

Eliminate or minimize sources of pollutants (e.g., VOCs, mold, and dust).
Ensure proper ventilation by using exhaust fans and air exchangers.
Maintain optimal humidity levels (30-50%).
Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to capture airborne particles.
Regularly inspect and maintain HVAC systems.
