Once the spring season returns to Michigan, people can count on warmer, sunnier days and landscapes in bloom. For allergy sufferers, spring can also mean the return of allergies. Allergens like pollen and mold spores are abundant during the spring months, and unfortunately, this can wreak havoc for those with allergies and other respiratory concerns.
While you can’t control the outdoor air quality, there are measures you can take to improve the air quality inside your home. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the indoor air quality products available, and how Boelcke can help you get cleaner, fresher air for your home. Keep reading to learn more!
Different Types of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Products
Different types of IAQ products address specific concerns. Some homes may require only one solution, while others need a multi-pronged approach. Learn more about the different kinds of IAQ products below:
- Air Sterilization: Air sterilization products help to remove mold, mildew, pollen, and bacteria from the air in your home, keeping the air you and your family breathe free from many of the contaminants that can cause respiratory concerns.
- High-Efficiency Filters: Your HVAC system has a standard filter that can help keep your equipment cleaner and free from particulate matter, but it doesn’t necessarily provide the advanced filtration allergy sufferers need. High-efficiency filters are able to remove pollen, dust, dander, and other particles from the air in your home, helping you get the cleaner, fresher air you need.
- UV Lights: Ultraviolet (UV) lights can effectively eliminate a whole host of pathogens in your HVAC system, including spores, mold, and bacteria, making them especially beneficial for anyone who suffers from respiratory conditions. They are installed by your technician directly in your heating and cooling system.
- Humidifiers: When the air in your home is too dry, it can cause irritation to your eyes, nasal passages, and throat, and that can cause allergy symptoms to become even more uncomfortable. Overly dry air can benefit from the installation of a whole-home humidifier.
- Dehumidifiers: Conversely, air that is too damp can also cause respiratory concerns for some and create an environment that encourages mold growth. In homes that are too damp and humid, a dehumidifier can help remove the excess moisture from the air.
A qualified HVAC professional will be able to help you get the right solution and combination of products for your home, helping you and your family enjoy cleaner, fresher air this spring – and all year through.
