An HVAC system controls much more than just temperature. It can also improve indoor air quality in your home which leads to a higher level of comfort, cleanliness, and health. Options include humidifiers, air purifiers, and whole-house filtration systems. Poor indoor air quality can cause allergies, asthma, and other health issues according to the Environmental Protection Agency and the American Lung Association.
Houses are designed to conserve energy by keeping cold air out in the winter and hot air out in the summer. Unfortunately, this can also result in indoor air pollution, dirty air continuously circulating inside your home. Mold, bacteria, gases, dust, and pollen are just some of the contaminants that can stay in the indoor air. This pollution can come from everyday items such as carpets, building material, paint, household cleaners, and bug sprays.
