Keeping Your Family Safe: AC and Air Quality

Date

As a homeowner and parent, protecting your family’s health is a top priority. But did you know your air conditioning system and indoor air quality play a huge role in your family’s well-being? Poor AC maintenance and indoor pollutants can circulate allergens, toxins, and other dangers through your home’s air. Read on to learn how to optimize your AC and indoor environment for better safety.

AC System Filters

Air conditioning systems contain filters that are critical for trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other microscopic particles. However, when filters become clogged and overloaded, these pollutants can blow through into your home’s air. Changing your AC filters every 1-3 months (depending on usage) is crucial for removing these hazards before they reach your family.

Precision Air Solutions offers filter replacement subscriptions and can provide filters specifically designed to capture the smallest contaminants. Let us handle this important task to ensure your AC system provides clean, filtered air.

Indoor Air Quality Services

In addition to AC maintenance, comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) services should be part of your family safety plan. Our IAQ services include:

– Air testing to identify pollutants
– Duct cleaning to remove built-up contaminants
–  Installation of advanced air filters and purification systems
– Humidity control to inhibit mold growth
– Ventilation improvements to reduce toxins
– Allergen-reduction treatments like carpet cleaning
– Odor elimination to remove stale “sick home” smells

A certified IAQ specialist will assess your home’s unique needs and pinpoint solutions to create the healthiest indoor environment.

Look Out for Mold

Excessive indoor humidity provides the perfect conditions for mold growth. This toxic substance releases spores that can trigger allergic reactions, asthma flare-ups, and other respiratory issues when inhaled. If your home has persistent moldy odors or you spot dark fuzzy patches along walls or baseboards, you likely have a moisture issue.

Our technicians use moisture meters, infrared cameras, and other methods to identify hidden moisture allowing mold to thrive. We then provide expert mold remediation including killing off existing mold and preventing regrowth.

Repair HVAC Leaks

Over time, air conditioning systems can develop refrigerant leaks. Not only are leaks detrimental to AC performance, but refrigerant gases can be hazardous if exposed to your indoor air. Refrigerant vapors displace oxygen and can cause flu-like symptoms or even death in confined spaces at high concentrations.

Our technicians use advanced leak detection methods to locate and repair any refrigerant leaks. We evacuate lines, recover refrigerant, and follow all EPA protocols for safe, proper AC repair. Your family’s safety comes first.

Consider Air Purifiers

For enhanced protection, Precision Air Solutions can install medical-grade HEPA air purification systems in your home’s HVAC ductwork. These units filter out particles down to .3 microns in size, trapping dust, pollen, smoke, viruses, and other dangerous substances. Some systems even have germicidal UV lights to neutralize pathogens. Let us recommend the right solution for your home.
