Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a concern for any home, as air pollution can have substantial impacts on your comfort and health. It can also affect the performance of your heating and cooling system. Professional Air Solutions ensures our customers benefit from exceptional air quality. We provide a wide range of options to address air quality issues in your home, where pollutants can be up to five times more concentrated than outdoors.

 

Being that you may spend up to 90% of your time indoors, exposure to indoor air pollution can have serious consequences. We help keep pollutants down to a minimum by being as thorough as possible and providing the best solutions on the market. The Professional Air Solutions team can therefore address causes of indoor air pollution such as:

​

• Volatile compounds – Volatile organic compounds include chemicals found in many types of home products, which can cause anything from nose and throat irritation to breathing problems, nervous system damage, and even cancer.

• Mold – Colonies of mold can exacerbate allergies and trigger respiratory illnesses. We can take steps to reduce mold spores that can also cause symptoms.

• Carbon monoxide – A gas released by burning oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels that you can’t see or smell, but can cause death in high concentrations.

• Housekeeping practices – Many consumer cleaning products have harsh chemicals that can get into the air. Pet dander, dust mites, and other pollutants can build up without proper housekeeping.

• Personal habits – Smoking in your home can cause serious indoor air pollution. Burning paraffin candles and incense can as well.

• Lack of ventilation – Making a building airtight improves energy efficiency by eliminating drafts but can lead to higher levels of indoor air pollution.

• Faulty furnaces – If you furnace malfunctions or isn’t properly maintained, carbon monoxide can increase to toxic levels.

• Dirty ductwork and filters – Contaminants in your ducts and that clog up air filters can circulate throughout the system and your home.

• High humidity levels – An indoor humidity level of more than 50% can support the growth of mold.
