Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air QualityYou would likely be surprised if you knew more about your indoor air quality, like how many pollutants/toxins you may have floating around your home or business. These pollutants/toxins include chemical vapors, microbes, mildew, viruses, bacteria, dust, dirt, pollen, allergens and more.

Accel Heating & Cooling can help clean up the air you and your family breathes.

The EPA discovered in a survey that Americans spend 87% of their lives inside, and that indoor air pollutant levels are up to 100 times higher than pollution levels found outside. Scary! Now think about the fact that you breathe an estimated 3,000 gallons of air every day. So do your kids. So does your Pug. Seriously, we need to stop taking indoor air quality for granted. It’s time to make a change.

Signs and Symptoms of Indoor Air Pollution

  • Trouble breathing inside your home or business, more than outside
  • Worsening chronic respiratory symptoms, such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema
  • Fatigue, headache, dizziness, or confusion
  • Digestive or Nausea problems
  • Wheezing, coughing and other allergy-like symptoms

Here are a few signs to look for around your home that could point to indoor air quality problems:

  • Condensation on windows and walls
  • Moldy spots on home items or appliances
  • Central heating and air conditioning filters that quickly get dirty
  • Air with a stuffy or “off” smell

Your family needs to take steps to increase the quality of the air you breathe indoors. Doing so can:

  1. Maintain your health. That’s right. And actually, 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air according to the American College of Allergists.
  2. Reduce your energy consumption. How? Cleaner air improves how efficient your heating and cooling system is. Can you say “smaller carbon footprint” and “lower costs over time?”
  3. Protect your investment. Enhanced air quality keeps heating and air conditioning components from corrosion, microbials, dirt and debris.

If you’re a DIYer, you can definitely take steps to bump the air quality in your home. But even the most mechanically-minded homeowners can’t do it all… and that’s where Accel Heating & Cooling can help. With a complete offering of indoor air quality equipment choices, knowledge and expert service—for all makes and models, 24 hours a day—you can take relax and take a deep breath and know it’s the highest indoor air quality possible.

Residential St Louis Indoor Air Quality

Accel St Louis Indoor Air QualityIndoor air quality problems in residential homes comes from many different sources, including paint, solvents, pet dander, & indoor pests and pollution that release gases or particles into the air.

These pollutant levels are often caused by inadequate ventilation. Outdoor air is needed to dilute these emissions and carry indoor air pollutants out of the home. High temperatures and humidity levels also contribute to high pollutant levels.

Call Accel Heating & Cooling at 314-541-4069 to have one of our licensed technicians talk to you about your indoor air, and our fine air quality products.

Common air pollutants found in homes include:

  • Biological debris, dust mites, and pet dander – which can all cause respiratory irritation and trigger asthma attacks
  • Volatile organic compounds – chemicals found in paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, varnishes and waxes, pesticides, building materials and furnishings, office equipment, moth repellents, air fresheners, and dry-cleaned clothing
  • Combustion pollutants – derived from improperly vented or unvented fuel-burning appliances such as space heaters, woodstoves, gas stoves, water heaters, dryers, and fireplaces.
    • Carbon monoxide – colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly
    • Nitrogen dioxide – colorless, odorless gas causes respiratory irritation and increases risk of infection
    • Secondhand smoke – a result of burning tobacco products. It is the cause of serious respiratory illnesses

Improving Indoor Air Quality

The most effective way to improve indoor air is to eliminate sources of pollutants or reduce their emissions. This can be achieved through:

  • Proper ventilation – increase the amount of fresh air that is brought indoors.
  • Change filters regularly to trap dust and other pollutants
