The Role of a Home's HVAC System in Keeping You Healthy

During our hot Chicago area summers the air quality often gets worse as the temperature rises. As the sun's rays heat the outdoor air, excess chemical compounds mix with the air's naturally occurring nitrogen oxide, resulting in a toxic soup of harmful ground-level gases. The risk is greatest to those who suffer from respiratory ailments. Add this pollution a high concentration of allergens like pollen and mold already present in the air and you'll be ready to take refuge indoors. While the indoors may be the better place to breath easier during the hot weather, some of the same airborne particles and gases can become trapped inside your home - in some cases they can be in even higher concentrations than outside.
