Indoor Air Quality
According to the EPA, the air inside the average home is up to
five times more polluted than the air outside. Pollen, dust mites,
dirt, and mold spores in your home’s air can cause minor health
problems like eye and nose irritation, dizziness, and headaches. Indoor
air pollution can also cause more serious problems like
respiratory illness, as well as aggravate allergies and asthma.
There are three ways you can improve the air quality in your home:
Source Control
You can eliminate many pollutants like dust and pet dander by careful household cleaning. Making sure your heating and air conditioning systems are well-maintained also helps remove pollutants before they reach your home, and cleaning air duct systems may be helpful in keeping your systems maintained.

Air Cleaners
Concerned about dust mites, bacteria and
viruses, pollen, mold and mildew? April Aire air cleaners can help
remove potentially harmful contaminants from the air in your home. Like
the whole house humidifier, the April Aire air cleaner works whenever
your system runs to provide maximum air filtration. Also, because of
the much higher quality of air filtration using an air cleaner versus a
standard filter, your HVAC equipment will not build up as much dirt,
dust, hair dander, etc. That means your equipment will be more energy
efficient and will be less susceptible to premature failure.
Well-maintained and efficient air cleaners can significantly lower the amount of pollutants in the air. Their usefulness varies considerably, depending on the type of cleaner (table-top models will probably be less effective than a whole-house system), and on the strength of the indoor pollution source.

Humidifiers: If you have a dry nose, cracked or itchy skin,
aggravated allergy and asthma symptoms, static electricity, chipping
paint or plaster, warped or damaged wood floors, furniture, trim or
molding, then installing a whole house humidifier would probably be a
great solution for your home! We can install an April Aire whole house
humidifier directly to your furnace to bring humidity to your home.
Then, you can breathe a little easier because this humidifier will
continually monitor the relative humidity in your home and make sure
you stay comfortable. And don’t worry, April Aire whole house
humidifiers do not need daily cleaning or need to be turned off and on
with season changes; they work as needed. Plus, when we service the
furnace, we will service the humidifier at the same time!
Dehumidifiers: Is your home too damp, especially during the summer months? Do you smell musty odors in your home? Maybe a dehumidifier would help. April Aire offers a whole house dehumidifier which attaches to the HVAC system to work as needed.
