At Evergreen Home Heating and Cooling we are dedicated to ensuring your home's comfort and safety. It is important to maintain indoor air quality because the air you breathe impacts your health and well-being. With decades of experience in the industry, we have compiled a list of expert tips to help homeowners like you enhance indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment for you and your family.

1. Regular HVAC Maintenance: Scheduled maintenance of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is crucial for optimizing performance and air quality. Dirty filters, clogged ducts, and malfunctioning components can contribute to poor indoor air quality. By scheduling regular maintenance visits with our experienced technicians, you can ensure that your HVAC system is clean, efficient, and operates at peak performance.
2. Invest in Quality Air Filters: The air filter in your HVAC system plays a significant role in trapping airborne particles and preventing them from circulating throughout your home. Understanding MERV Ratings and what particulates you should prioritize to ensure your family’s health and safety.
3. Install Whole-House Air Purification Systems: In addition to standard air filters, consider installing a whole-house air purification system to further enhance indoor air quality. The Air Scrubber Advanced by Aerus is the premier option for whole-home Air Purification. Its Active Pure Technology system uses advanced technologies such as UV-C light to purify the air you breathe and decontaminate surfaces.
4. Maintain Optimal Humidity Levels: Excess humidity can promote mold and mildew growth, while low humidity can lead to dry skin and respiratory discomfort. Maintaining optimal humidity levels (between 30-50%) is essential for a healthy indoor environment. Our team can install and maintain humidifiers and dehumidifiers to help you achieve and maintain balanced humidity levels throughout your home.
5. Seal and Insulate Ductwork: Leaky ductwork can allow dust, allergens, and pollutants to enter your home's air supply, diminishing indoor air quality. Our skilled technicians can inspect your ductwork for leaks and seal any gaps or cracks to prevent air leaks and improve air quality. Proper insulation of ductwork also helps maintain consistent temperatures and reduce energy waste.
6. Ventilate Your Home: Adequate ventilation is essential for exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air and reducing indoor air pollutants. Our team can assess your home's ventilation needs and recommend solutions such as energy recovery ventilators or ventilating fans to ensure proper airflow and ventilation throughout your home.
7. Educate Homeowners: At Evergreen, we believe in empowering homeowners with knowledge about indoor air quality and HVAC maintenance. We provide educational resources and tips throughout our website and blog to help homeowners understand the importance of indoor air quality and how to maintain a healthy home environment.
