Indoor quality air is the term used to describe how well a home, school, or office building's ventilation system removes contaminants and keeps pollutants in check. It also covers conditions such as temperature and humidity.
Poor IAQ may cause symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes, runny noses and headaches. Some health effects may be visible immediately following exposure while others may persist for years.
Health effects from prolonged or repeated exposure can be much more severe and could be linked to diseases such as COPD or asthma. They may be difficult to detect, but can be severe enough to cause death.
How can I tell if my home has poor indoor air quality?
You can judge your home's air quality by checking for odors, feeling hot or cold, or any other symptoms that suggest poor air quality. If you notice these symptoms or the odors get worse, have someone test your air for pollutants.
Bryant contractors can help. They have a wide range of indoor air quality products, including purifiers and air purifiers to remove allergens and smoke from your home.
The first step in diagnosing IAQ problems is testing your home for potential pollutants. A EPA-approved kit for testing your home for radioactive gases, such as radon can be used. Other tests can detect other harmful contaminants like formaldehyde or benzene and VOCs.
What are some of the best techniques to improve your home’s quality of air?
Protecting your comfort and health is as simple and cost-effective as possible by reducing or eliminating specific pollutants. For example, you might seal or cover materials containing asbestos or adjust the operation of your heating and cooling system to reduce the amount of emissions.
IAQ problems can be prevented by keeping your HVAC filter clean and changing it frequently. Filters that are dirty trap particles and contaminants which can then be recirculated back into your air. A quality filter will be rated to trap airborne particulates down to 3 microns.
Some contaminants can be controlled by maintaining the right humidity levels, particularly those that thrive in dry conditions. The right humidity levels can help prevent mold and mildew growth in your home and reduce the risk of getting sinus infections.
IAQ is important for people of all ages and abilities, so it's best to start by assessing your health and identifying any symptoms that could be related to indoor air quality. If you have difficulty identifying the cause, consult your local health department.
The CDC recommends that everyone, especially those with respiratory diseases or those with allergies, take measures to improve their indoor air quality. You don't have to spend a lot of money and some of these steps are very simple. While some measures may be more expensive, they will make a huge difference in your comfort and health.
FAQ
Is a service contract a warranty?
A service contract does not constitute a warranty. It is an agreement between 2 parties to exchange goods. In this case, the customer agrees to pay the cost of repair or replacement if the product does not perform satisfactorily. This contract is also called a maintenance contract.
Where can I find more information about building permits?
Contact your local government agency (e.g., NSW Local Government Association) for more information. They will be able to tell you what steps you should take to obtain building permits.
When do I need to pay the service/contractor for it?
The type of service is dependent on how much you pay. In other words, if you hire someone to install a roof, you will typically pay once the work has been completed. A supplier might require you to test and receive the item before you pay.
