Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Spring is in the air, and a spring is in our step at Nordic Temperature Control as we acknowledge the end of the cold, dark Winter months. It is time to get outside with family and friends and enjoy the Pacific Northwest outdoors as everything bursts back into life around us.
However, Spring is also the worst time of year for your allergies. Running around in the sunshine is all well and good, but it sure can make you sniffle and sneeze!
You might expect to escape the pollen when you get inside thinking the air in your house will be much better! Well, that’s not always the case. If you’re one of the fifty million North Americans who suffers from allergies, you’ll know that when you get inside, things don’t always improve. To make matters worse, you spend a lot more time indoors than outside (in fact, on average, three-quarters of your time is going to be spent indoors!). Well, Nordic Temperature Control has a few solutions you might like to consider for a happier Springtime and a year of better air quality!
First, we can come out and check your filtration system. This basic part of your home comfort system filters out the particles that cause you problems. If you have inexpensive disposable filters, we can install better-quality, or even special media air filters for you. If you have a good filtration system, we can check to see if anything needs replacing.
The wrong kind of filter can cause your whole cooling system to underperform, and we can help you figure that out too. Depending on the circumstances, we might recommend a deep-pleated media air filters or an electronic air cleaner. Each has its best application and each can effectively remove allergens and particulates from the air stream.
Another option is an Ultraviolet Irradiation Systems by Coleman®, which literally zaps the contaminants out of the air and helps keep your air conditioning coil clean as a bonus.
Basically, if you want to keep your allergy problems outdoors, give the experts a call at Nordic Temperature Control. During the full inspection, our trained technicians see where your system could be improved and help you fight the bugs, bacteria, and pollen. We’re here to help you improve your home comfort 24/7!
