Maintaining high indoor air quality is an essential health and comfort consideration for you and your family. The detrimental effects of indoor pollutants can potentially trigger allergic reactions as well as asthma attacks. Southwest Virginia’s relatively close proximity to the coast means that humidity levels are inherently high. Pollutants — such as mold and pollen — thrive in this humid environment; having a wide-range of equipment at your disposal to combat these menaces is a necessity.
The following possible additions to your home will greatly contribute to a cleaner, healthier living space for you and your loved ones:

• The indoor air quality (IAQ) monitor can easily assess and pinpoint air quality issues in your home. The sensor will continuously monitor humidity, carbon dioxide, temperature and airborne particles at frequent intervals. Once complete, your air quality will be assessed and a report will be dispatched to you with recommended actions included.
• A humidifier in your home can be ideal for the winter months when the air becomes extremely dry by nature. This dryness is often associated with many respiratory, nose and throat issues. A humidifier is the perfect counter to this dryness.
• The media air cleaner is the ideal companion to improve your indoor air quality. Designed to operate in conjunction with your existing heating and cooling system, these cleaners can clear your air of up to 85 percent of its contaminants.
• Air purification systems are an excellent method of ridding your home of many household odors and chemical vapors. Having clean air is great, but having clean and fresh air can only be accomplished with the help of an air purification system.
• A germicidal lamp is the key to maintaining a germ-free home. By eradicating the mold and mildew in your living space, you drastically reduce the possibility of exposure.
