What Is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?
Indoor air quality refers to how pure the air is within buildings and structures, which is determined by the level of dust, suspended particles, and pollutants that are present. The overall comfort, health and well-being of those who breathe the air can be affected by its quality, and poor indoor air can lead to sick building syndrome, reduced productivity, and other health issues. The primary methods used to improve indoor air quality are source control, filtration, and the use of ventilation to dilute contaminants.

When Is Duct Sealing Necessary?
Forced-air cooling and heating systems use ducts to disburse air throughout a building. When ducts have leaks, HVAC systems work harder to pump conditioned air throughout the building causing increased energy bills, unnecessary wear on your HVAC system, and less comfort. They let in dust, debris, and moisture, create an environment for mold, and provide a way for unwanted pests and rodents to enter the ductwork and leave feces. You and your family breathe in those contaminants when they sit in your ductwork.
A few telltale signs that your ducts are leaking are as follows:
● High utility bills in both the summer and winter
● Rooms that do not maintain a consistent temperature
● Stuffy rooms
● Kinked or tangled flexible ducts
● Moving particles around ductwork
● Evidence that mice or other rodents may have chewed through ducts
Although you typically can’t see it, your ductwork is one of the more expensive and important parts of your home, ensuring it’s a comfortable and healthy environment. Because of this, don’t hesitate to call All Season Air Conditioning and Heating if you feel your ductwork is compromised. We can properly seal duct in hard-to-reach places and perform inspections and
tests that ensure your home is comfortable and safe.
Here is what your HVAC contractor will do once they arrive on the job site:
1. Inspect the entire duct system for leaks and problems.
2. Replace or repair duct sections.
3. Tighten loose duct sections.
4. Straighten out kinked and bent ducts.
5. Use construction-grade seal and tape to plug the cracks, holes.
6. Use specialized sealant or metal tape to seal. connections between duct sections.
7. Secure the ducts to registers and vents.
8. Test your home and ducts for carbon monoxide leaks.
WHAT IS AN AIR SCRUBBER AND DO I NEED ONE?
Poor indoor air quality can pose a threat to you and your
family’s well-being. Air scrubbers help clean your space and
remove contaminants that can negatively affect your health.
Since the air inside your home is typically more contaminated
than outdoor air, improving your indoor air quality should be a
priority. Air scrubbers have quickly built a reputation as the
workhorses of air purification for your home. If you have been
noticing that the air circulating inside your home isn’t quite as
fresh as you would like it to be, an HVAC scrubber may be an
option worth considering.
HOW DOES AN AIR SCRUBBER WORK?
An Air Scrubber is a unit that is installed in your duct work and is designed to clean up the air on a level that the filter alone cannot manage. It purifies the air of contaminants and can kill particulates like dander and pollen, volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) that create odors like smoke, and
organisms like mold and viruses.
Some Air Scrubber Benefits Include The Following:
● Reducing allergens. Many of the allergens in the air won’t make it past the scrubber, so if you or someone else in your home has allergies, an air scrubber may help relieve symptoms.
● Better smell. If your home doesn’t quite smell as nice and fresh as you would like – whether from pets in your home or foods you cook in your kitchen – consider turning to an air scrubber to take care of that problem.
● Cut down on dust. While you might not be able to completely eliminate dusting from your to-do list, adding an air scrubber will bring down the level of dust in your home.
● Protect your HVAC equipment. Having cleaner air in your home means your HVAC equipment shouldn’t need to work as hard to get its job done. Dirty air can take a toll on your system and cause it to fail prematurely.
