Indoor air quality refers to pollution in your Richmond home or company. The level of airborne pollutants can be 2–5 times higher than in the open air. Since most people spend 90% of their time inside and breathe approximately 3,000 gallons of air daily (according to the American Lung Association), this can potentially lead to serious health issues.
Depending on your specific air quality concerns, solutions consist of:
Some of the typical sources of pollutants include Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) such as cleaning or personal care products, fuel-burning utilities and kitchen appliances, and particulate matter like dust, pollen and smoke.
Without A Doubt. Pollutants and particulate matter can bring about illnesses and worsen respiratory conditions, particularly for children and the elderly. For certain contaminants like CO, the effects may even be lethal.
Resolving indoor air quality problems can produce a host of benefits to your health and well-being, such as:
If you find yourself cleaning on a daily basis or coughing continuously, your indoor air may be to blame. As mentioned in EPA studies, indoor pollutants can reach concentrations as much as 100 times higher than the air outdoors. You can determine your indoor air quality by scheduling a Home Health® Report consultation with Eveready Service Experts.
Each homeowner has their definition of “indoor comfort”, especially if someone in your Richmond home has sensitivity to pollen, dust or other pollutants that cause respiratory problems. You may require a single product like a high-performance air filtration system, or multiple. Eveready Service Experts can help you find the right combination of equipment.
No. HVAC air filters differ in quality and design, and a few have exclusive features. We usually suggest using the filter the manufacturer of your equipment recommends pairing with your system. All filters are assigned MERV ratings on a scale from 1–20. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value and can make it easier to identify high-efficiency filters. For most residential needs, a MERV rating of 11 or lower is appropriate.
The ideal schedule for cleaning or replacing your air filter relies upon a variety of factors, like the filter design and MERV rating as well as the existing indoor air quality. For common 1”-3” filters, most brands recommend replacement every 30-90 days. Pets, health conditions and even nearby pollution sources can lead to replacing the filter more often.
Presuming the problem is not your body’s hydration, excessively dry air can irritate your throat and sinuses. Look at getting a whole-home humidifier if you continuously struggle with a dry, itchy throat.
Your HVAC system extracts moisture as it operates, producing situations where humidity levels become unbalanced. Portable humidifiers can resolve humidity concerns in a single room or small area, but a central humidifier assures balanced humidity throughout the entire building.
For most people, comfortable humidity levels tend to be between 30-60%. These levels are rather hard to sustain in the winter, as cold air does not hold onto moisture as well as warm air. What’s more, your furnace displaces moisture by generating hot, dry heat.
The smartest way to choose an appropriate whole-house humidifier is by measuring the height of your ceiling multiplied by the total square footage of the room. This will help figure out how many gallons of water/H2O is required every hour to ensure balanced humidity.
You should also think about your available budget, as a humidifier needs service just like any other mechanical equipment.
That depends entirely on the equipment purchased, but usually whole-house humidifiers average between 1.5 to 12 gallons per day. Needless to say, dry climates will use more water to keep humidity stable.
Scheduled preventive maintenance is often vital for lasting equipment efficiency, and your humidifier is no different. The humidifier’s reservoir should be frequently drained and cleaned to prevent mold.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas produced by partial fuel combustion, which experts claim is commonly caused by inadequate access to oxygen. Appliances relying on natural gas, charcoal, wood or kerosene are common origins of CO gas, especially if they are not running correctly or have been installed incorrectly. CO is toxic to the body and is fatal at high levels or long exposure.
Initial indicators such as nausea and tiredness are often incorrectly recognized as a result of the flu. But CO gas exposure can progress, oftentimes leading to confusion, organ damage or even death. Other symptoms include:
Yes. Getting rid of carbon monoxide should be a top priority because of the danger it poses to your health and well-being. CO gas can be discovered in any Richmond home or commercial property, making effective ventilation and prevention strategies universally beneficial.
Prevention is the best place to start. A few safety precautions to take include:
If carbon monoxide has been found, you should promptly vacate the building and notify the fire department and utility company. If a leak is discovered, you should then contact a reputable HVAC company for repairs.
If an air freshener isn’t doing the trick, there may be microbes or contaminants nearby producing the unpleasant odor. Bacteria and mold are common sources, but they can be fixed with the sanitation properties of a germicidal UV light. They are especially effective against odor-producing microorganisms.
A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a common charge used by HVAC companies when a technician is called out to your home to diagnose the issue plaguing your heating or cooling system. This fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and any gas or other travel expenses associated with looking into the problem. It’s essentially a service fee for the technician’s professional assessment to identify the cause of the malfunction.
Think of it like a doctor’s appointment. They need to perform a thorough checkup to learn more about what’s wrong before recommending treatment. Just the same, the technician we send has to inspect your HVAC equipment to decide on the best repair or maintenance steps.
