INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Contact us for more information

Our world has forever changed thanks to COVID-19. Indoor Air Quality in our homes is even more of a priority. Poor indoor air quality has been linked to serious health ailments. Stagnant air in homes and in the workplace combined with indoor moisture becomes a breeding ground for molds, viruses and bacteria causing a variety of health-threatening upper respiratory illnesses.

Aprilaire’s 3 Part Plan

According to the United States EPA website on indoor air quality, proper maintenance of heating and air conditioning equipment are very important in controlling common biological contaminants in your home. Those contaminants include mold, dust mites, pet dander (skin flakes), droppings and body parts from cockroaches, rodents and other pests or insects, viruses and bacteria. Many of these biological contaminants are small enough to be inhaled. Maintaining your heating & cooling equipment, therefore, is very important. Keeping the relative humidity in your home between 30% and 50% will help control mold, dust mites and cockroaches.

The following are a couple of products Hetter Heating & Cooling recommends to help homeowners improve their home's indoor air quality:

Air Cleaners

This game changer in the industry boasts efficiencies better than that of a HEPA (commonly used in hospitals everywhere). CleanEffects is 99.98% efficient down to .3 microns and delivers 100 times the amount of clean air that a standard 1-inch filter does, not to mention eight times the amount of clean air of a HEPA system.

Humidifiers

"There is yet no cure for the common cold. The most important preventive measure would appear to be the proper regulation of humidity."
New York State Journal of Medicine

Aprilaire 600 Automatic OR manual bypass humidifier

Aprilaire 600 Automatic OR manual bypass humidifierThe Aprilaire 600 Automatic humidifier is installed in your existing HVAC duct system with an outdoor sensor so it will automatically adjust with the temperature outside. These units can adjust up to 80,000 times per day.

The Aprilaire 600 Manual humidifier is installed in your existing HVAC duct system as well, but any adjustments to humidity levels must be done manually. This is the least expensive whole house humidifier option. Both humidifiers offered here can be controlled by installing a one of a few different select touch screen thermostat options that offer relative humidity display.

"Humidity reduces the incidence of respiratory infections and speeds recovery from the common cold."
Dr. William J. Hitschler
