How to Measure and Improve Indoor Air Quality

To measure and improve indoor air quality, you need to identify potential pollutants in your home and implement effective solutions like air purifiers, UV lamps, and humidity control systems. Indoor air often contains contaminants such as pet dander, pollen, bacteria, and chemical vapors, which can affect your health, especially during hot Chicagoland summers when homes are sealed tightly with air conditioning. Here’s how you can assess and enhance your indoor air quality.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Poor indoor air quality can lead to various health issues, including allergies, respiratory problems, and fatigue. Contaminants like dust, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can become trapped inside your home, especially when windows and doors remain closed during hot weather. Measuring and addressing these issues ensures a healthier living environment for you and your family.

How to Measure Indoor Air Quality

The Carrier Indoor Air Analyzer is an advanced tool that evaluates your home’s air in approximately 30 minutes. This device identifies pollutants such as chemical vapors, pollen, bacteria, and more, providing an easy-to-read report of your home’s air quality. By partnering with a Carrier dealer like ABC Plumbing, Heating, Sewer, and HVAC, you’ll receive a professional assessment and tailored recommendations to improve your indoor air.

Solutions to Improve Indoor Air Quality

Once your air quality has been assessed, there are several solutions available to address specific issues:

• UV Lamps: UV lamps help eliminate bacteria and mold that can accumulate on your HVAC system’s coils, ensuring cleaner air circulates throughout your home.
• Air Purifiers: High-quality air purifiers filter out fine particles, allergens, and pollutants, creating a healthier breathing environment.
• Humidity Control: Properly balancing humidity levels can prevent mold growth and reduce the presence of dust mites. Consider a whole-home dehumidifier or humidifier for consistent control.
• Advanced Filtration Systems: Upgrading to HEPA filters or other high-efficiency filtration systems can significantly improve air quality by trapping even the smallest particles.
