Whole-House Air Purification in Avondale
Homeowners throughout Avondale are increasingly creating airtight homes. With efficient home envelopes, locals can prevent warm outdoor air from seeping in and keep cool, conditioned air trapped inside. Although tightening your home envelope can limit your heating and cooling costs and reduce your carbon footprint, it can also have a devastating impact on your IAQ.
With a tight home envelope, natural air exchange declines, and indoor allergens and contaminants stay right where they are. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can contain up to five times more contaminants than outdoor air.
Whole-house air purification solves IAQ problems by working seamlessly with heaters and air conditioners. Cool Zone Air Conditioning & Heating installs whole-house air purifiers in or on HVAC air ducts. Once cooled or heated, conditioned air moves through these integrated accessories before the system distributes it throughout your home.
Integrated air purifiers extract the micro-fine particulates that pass right through standard air filter mesh. This leaves far less dander, dust mites, and other allergens floating around your home. Whole-house air purification also eliminates dangerous pathogens like mold, bacteria, and viruses, and deactivates gaseous chemical contaminants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Many common, daily activities add contaminants to indoor air and make whole-house filtration a worthwhile investment:
- Cooking indoors
- Using chemical-laden cleaning sprays
- Burning scented candles
- Operating fuel-burning appliances
- Discharging spray-on self-care products
There are also many items throughout your home that constantly off-gas harmful chemicals, including flooring adhesives, unsealed particle board, and paint.
Scheduling professional AC and heater maintenance and regularly changing your HVAC air filter will optimize the basic IAQ support that your HVAC system supplies. However, when this support falls short, installing a whole-house air purifier as an integrated HVAC accessory is an excellent choice.
You might need whole-house air filtration if you have shorter-than-normal HVAC air filter lifespans, perpetually dusty conditions, indoor pets, or household members with asthma, allergies, or COPD.
