Health & Indoor Air Quality

Complete home comfort is about more than just temperature, it's also about maintaining a healthy home with indoor air quality.

Dusty, dirty homes at any temperature can mean discomfort. The air in today's tightly-sealed, well-insulated homes can become stale as the same indoor air is circulated and recirculated. In fact, indoor air quality is among the Environmental Protection Agency's top three health concerns. The agency reports that with dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, skin flakes, chemical fumes, cigarette smoke, Radon gas and more, the air inside your home can be two to five times dirtier than the air outside.

Although we usually can't see them, air pollutants are all around us, already inside our homes and waiting to come in form outside. From our yards to our kitchens, dangerous air pollutants threaten our home health and air quality. Plus, each season brings its own dangers, from mold in the fall and winter to pollens and high humidity in the spring and summer.

Fortunately, Carrier's wide range of air quality solutions, including humidifiers, ventilators, UV lamps, media filters and air cleaners can eliminate many of the pollutants threatening your home's health and improve indoor air quality.

A clean home includes having clean air. Pollen, animal dander, smoke, bacteria and other pollutants naked to the human eye exist in our homes. Carrier has solutions to clean your home air with its stat of the art air cleaners, purifiers and media filters.

Your Skin Will Thank You
During different seasons and within certain climates, air can become dry and affect the quality of life in your home. If you experience static electricity, dry skin, or respiratory ailments caused by dry air, you may need a humidifier. 


A Breath of Fresh Air
In a central HVAC system, air can circulate within a home and become stale over time, potentially increasing the levels of viruses, bacteria, pollen, smoke and odors. Many times, bringing in fresh air through windows or doors can negatively affect heating and cooling costs and is not an option. Fortunately, Carrier energy recovery ventilators bring in fresh air while dramatically reducing heating and cooling costs.

Home Cooling 101

Cooling and heating are two of the most important concepts of home ownership. In fact, heating and cooling systems are major factors for those looking to purchase homes, and are a critical part of living comfortably in a home.

You may frequently hear the term "HVAC" which is used to describe home heating and cooling systems. The  acronym stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning which are the three primary functions of a home system. They control air temperature, humidity and maintain the quality of the air in the home.

Central Systems
Cooling and heating systems may be classified as central or local. Central heating and cooling is the most standard method, and is defined by a system that produces warm of cool air in one central area and then distributes it throughout the home. There are many types of systems that work as central systems, from traditional split systems to packaged product systems.

Cooling
Whole-home air conditioning systems are central systems that rely on ducts to deliver cooled air throughout the home. An air-conditioning system provides cooling, ventilation, humidity control and even heating (if using a heat pump) for a home. Air conditioning units cool refrigerants like Puron Refrigerant and Freon and deliver them to evaporator coils, which dissipate the refrigerant and blow cool air into ducts for delivery throughout the home.

Products such as room air conditioners are local cooling options for smaller areas withing homes. Instead of delivering cooled refrigerant to a coil and then to ductwork, a room air conditioner contains all the components in a single unit and blows air directly into a room.

Air conditioned homes often have sealed windows, because open windows would disrupt the attempts of the control system to maintain constant temperature.

We can help you decide which system is best for your household. Visit our web site www.garneskiac.com or call us at 703-880-2770 to schedule an appointment.
