INDOOR AIR QUALITY

According to the EPA, poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is among the top five environmental risks. Pollutants in your home's air can cause dizziness and headaches, plus aggravate allergies and asthma.

If someone in your family suffers from asthma, allergies or other respiratory problems, then airborne particles in your home such as dust mites, pollen, molds, pet dander and insect debris, can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and asthma attacks.

People with chemical sensitivity can also experience similar symptoms when they are exposed to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) found in building materials, furniture, paints and solvents, household cleaners, and fragrances.

Airtight construction, designed to improve energy efficiency, permits less fresh air to enter the home. High efficiency heating and cooling systems constantly re-circulate indoor air so particles and VOCs build up over time.

Regular cleaning and vacuuming can go a long way toward improving the air you breathe. But cleaning alone will not solve IAQ problems. For the best defense against poor air quality, have your Charlotte Comfort Systems technician test your home's air and recommend a solution. The AirAdvice IAQ test evaluates your home’s indoor air quality.

The AirAdvice IAQ test pinpoints air quality problems in your home that can affect you or your family’s health, as well as their comfort and safety. Your Charlotte Comfort Systems HVAC professional will place an AirAdvice IAQ monitor in your home for a few days where it measures temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and airborne particles in one-minute cycles. Then once a day it transmits the data via the phone line to AirAdvice for analysis.

AirAdvice uses the data to generate personalized reports about your home’s indoor air quality. You’ll receive a seven to nine page report, which contains large, easy-to-read graphs that make it easy to see how pollutant levels changed over the duration of the test.

This information can sometimes help you determine the source of the problem. The report also suggests ways to solve your air quality problems. Using the report, you and your Charlotte Comfort Systems professional will work together to select the best solution.
