Tips and Tricks to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

With spring fast approaching, that means that allergies are lurking close behind them. What do you do when you avoid the outdoor pollen but find yourself struggling with inside allergens at the same time? Well, Air Service Co. has some tips that can keep you cozy this spring season by enhancing your indoor air quality:

High efficiency air filters

To receive a large surface area and lower resistance to air flow in your air conditioning filter, there are some models of filters that are four to five inches wide which are pleated and folded like an accordion. These filters allow for higher efficiency and upper MERV ratings, which make them able to get rid of the littlest particles of dirt while even offsetting odors.

Humidifiers and dehumidifiers

Having a lot of humidity and having not enough humidity in your home can both be tricky. To escape mold collection or respiratory issues, Air Service Co. offers whole-home humidity products that are the perfect key to any indoor air quality issues.

One-inch air filters

Smaller filters should be swapped out every few months, based on pets, the outdoor environment in Muldrow or the number of people residing in your home. When your filter is grimy and isn’t swapped out often, it works more than it needs to and can produce poor air quality.

Germicidal Lights

Mold and bacteria develop quite easily in modern, energy efficient homes. When these allergens blend with our breathing air, they can cause health and allergy problems for many people in your family. Ultraviolet lights kill the DNA in mold, fungi, bacteria and spores in the coils of your system, withholding them from coming into the air in your home.

Electrostatic air filters

These filters create a durable static charge as air passes through them, gathering tiny particles that would otherwise be let through with replaceable filters. Electrostatic filters are washable, but while they don’t need replacement, they need cleaning just as frequently.

Whole home solution

The PureAir Air Purification System is a whole-home cooling system that uses photocatalytic oxidation and a high efficiency carbon filter to reduce germs and bacteria, airborne particles and chemical odors, among other indoor pollutants.
