The Importance of Healthy Air

Knowing the Dangers

The EPA has confirmed that your indoor air may be up to five times more polluted than your outdoor air. Many airborne contaminants inside your home are so small you may not even realize they exist, like PM2.5 particulates, volatile organic compounds, and airborne viruses.

Protecting Your Health

These harmful particulates contribute to a number of health issues ranging from acute to chronic, like allergy flare-ups, asthma attacks, fatigue, lung cancer, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease.

Protecting Your Home

Other problems that can arise from your home’s polluted indoor air are dry skin, static shock, dust mites, mold, and pest infestations. Additionally, poor Indoor Air Quality can damage a home’s foundation, crack or warp wooden furnishings, and can even make your air conditioner inoperable due to dust buildup around the coils.

Humidity Control

Balance your home’s humidity to reduce allergy and asthma triggers like mold spores, dust mites, and pollen. By keeping your home’s humidity properly balanced (between 40-60%), you’ll help improve your immune system response and fight against dry air issues like nosebleeds and sore throats.

While balanced humidity exists between 40 and 60%, it’s important to remember that outdoor temperature and other home factors will impact what relative humidity level is attainable and recommended for your house. Talk with your AprilAire Healthy Air Professional to learn more.  

Fresh Air Ventilation

Fresh air ventilation dilutes and replenishes the dangerous stale air in your home that is filled with harmful airborne particulates like allergens, chemicals, viruses, bacteria, and radon. Ventilation is also considered an important tool in reducing airborne pollutants in indoor air by the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the National Institutes of Health.

Air Filtration

Air filters capture airborne particulates like viruses, dust, pollen, dander, and mold spores that flow through your HVAC system. Without proper filtration, particulates can impact your heart, lungs, and brain.

Radon Mitigation

Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, and testing is the only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels. Use whole-house radon mitigation fans to remove radon before it enters the home.
