Indoor Air Quality Service & Systems
Many homeowners don’t realize the importance of good indoor air quality (IAQ). A common misconception is that indoor air is cleaner than outdoor air. In fact, the opposite is usually true! High concentrations of chemicals, odors, mold, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pet dander, and dust often result in highly polluted indoor air, which is often two to five times worse than outdoor air. Learn more about the importance of IAQ by calling Western Air Cooling & Heating at (760) 984-3151 to arrange indoor air quality services in the Coachella Valley.
Humidifier Installation
The Coachella Valley at times can be one of the driest areas in the country. Low indoor humidity is most common in the winter because cool air can’t hold as much moisture. By adding a humidifier to your home with help from Western Air, you can keep your home at the ideal 30-50% relative humidity for maximum comfort and improved air quality.
Why Indoor Air Quality Matters?
You probably spend 80% of your time indoors, especially on scorching summer days. If the air inside is polluted, it could have a significant impact on your health and comfort.
Here are some signs that your home has poor indoor air quality:
Health problems: Exposure to excessive indoor pollutants can cause fatigue, headaches, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, sneezing, coughing, and heightened allergy and asthma symptoms. If these health problems occur at home, but not elsewhere, explore the indoor air quality services from Penguin Air to help alleviate your symptoms.
Excessive dust: Many people think their homes get dusty from outside air, the evidence in your air registers might suggest otherwise. If dust collects quickly on the grilles, this is a sign that the air ducts themselves are the source of dust in your home.
Lingering odors: When you step in the front door, do you immediately notice a stuffy, musty, or chemical odor? The smell isn’t just uninviting—it could also be bad for your health.
Low humidity: Dry air is a common problem in California. Bacteria, viruses, and dust mites thrive in dry conditions, which can make you sick or exacerbate your allergies and asthma. Other symptoms of low humidity include itchy skin, brittle hair, dry throat, and static shock.
Duct Sealing & Cleaning in the Coachella Valley
You might assume your air ducts are built tightly, but ductwork leaks are incredibly common. Not only does this waste energy by allowing heated and cooled air to escape into unconditioned spaces, but it also allows attic dust, insulation fibers, dirt, and other debris to hitch a ride into the living space. Duct sealing services from Western Air can put a stop to this, improving indoor air quality in the process.
Duct cleaning is also important for removing trapped dust, cobwebs, mold, grime, and other contaminants. When your air ducts are clean, you avoid blowing pollution around your home every time the furnace or air conditioner runs. Our technicians are qualified to clean your ductwork safely, quickly, and thoroughly.
HVAC maintenance is another important part of promoting good indoor air quality. To schedule duct sealing or cleaning for your desert area home please call Western Air at (760) 984-3151.
