Indoor Air

Today for an ac repair Eagle Idaho , we will ask what is indoor air quality, and how can I help it? That is a question we get asked a lot on an ac repair in Eagle Idaho. Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air in our homes and offices. Indoor air pollution is caused by things in your home that release gases or particles into the air. These can be pets, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, cooking, carpet, even certain woods used in furniture just to mention a few.

The effects of bad IAQ can range from irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, to dizziness, headaches, fatigue an ac repair in Eagle Idaho with bad IAQ can even cause illness.

So how do we make our indoor air quality better and our homes healthier? One of the best ways is to install a good quality filter system in our homes and change those filters often. Furnace filters, do just that they filter your indoor air as it passes through your furnace and air conditioner. Having a cheap filter you can see right through isn’t going to catch much. For the average home we recommend a good pleated filter. Don’t spend less than about $8 or more than about $15 per 1 inch filter, this will give you a good qualtiy filter. For a more aggresive approach we recommend a Honeywell 5″ media filter and case.  This will filter out more and smaller particles to give you even better IAQ.  Consider adding a Honeywell humidifier to your furnace, moist air is easier to breathe and filter.
