J & M Cooling & Heating is honored to protect your most valuable and irreplaceable asset: your health. We employ highly effective indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions to keep you and your loved ones safe from the threat of household air pollution in Phoenix, Peoria, Avondale, Surprise, Glendale, Wittmann, AZ, and the surrounding areas.
Are You at Risk from Poor IAQ?
We often assume the air inside our homes is clean and safe, but that’s not always the case. In fact, many indoor spaces contain high concentrations of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other contaminants. Many of these pollutants are potentially harmful, especially for those with allergies, asthma, or other chronic illnesses. Unfortunately, they’re also difficult to detect, so they frequently go unnoticed until they begin making you sick. That’s why it’s important to recognize common warning signs that may indicate poor indoor air quality, including:
- Health symptoms that worsen or only occur at home
- Musty, unpleasant, lingering odors with no clear source
- Excessive dust buildup on surfaces and in your HVAC system
The Antidote to Particle Pollution
If you’re worried about air pollution in your home, don’t be scared — be prepared. The most common household IAQ issue is particulate matter, or particle pollution, which consists of tiny airborne particles of various substances. Effective air filtration is vital to mitigating this threat, and J & M Cooling & Heating has you covered.
Our high-quality replacement filters are the most economical option for trapping dust and other large particles. To protect against fine particulate matter — the most hazardous class of particle pollution — consider upgrading to a state-of-the-art Trane air cleaner. These units easily drop into your HVAC system and offer unbeatable air filtration, trapping up to 99.98% of particles and allergens.
Create a Healthier Home Environment
Along with air filtration, there are two other keys to improved indoor air quality. The first is ventilation, which is necessary to help flush out pollutants and supply fresh air. Modern, efficiency-focused home designs rarely account for this, so a whole-home ventilator is a great investment. These systems continuously bring in just enough clean air to keep your home fresh without wasting much energy.
The other critical component of good IAQ is humidity. More specifically, the unusually dry air here in the Desert Southwest can irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It can also damage furniture and cause certain allergens to become airborne more easily. Adding a humidifier to your HVAC system is a quick, low-cost way to ensure you always maintain optimal indoor humidity levels.
Your home is supposed to be the place that makes you feel most comfortable, safe, and secure. It’s time to make that a reality with J & M Cooling & Heating’s advanced IAQ products and services.
