Indoor Air Concerns and Solutions During Winter

A tightly sealed home keeps you more comfortable during the winter but can also trap harmful pollutants indoors. Learn how augmenting your HVAC system with the right indoor air quality product can help everyone breathe cleaner, healthier air.

UV Air Purifier Installations

For homes with all-season heat pumps, adding an ultraviolet (UV) lamp is an affordable solution to indoor pollution. Installed near the system's evaporator coils, a UV air purifier neutralizes biological contaminants like bacteria, viruses and mold spores before they get a chance to circulate through your home.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

With the heater running for hours a day, it's common for indoor air to become too dry during the winter. Overly dry air causes a broad range of physical discomforts, including dry nose, lips, and skin. The combination of winter heating and low indoor humidity levels can also cause damage to household fixtures such as wallpaper, paint, and furniture. A whole-home humidifier maintains humidity levels between 30 and 50%, the level deemed best for human health.

Home Ventilation Solutions

Introducing fresh air into your home is one of the most effective ways to combat indoor air pollution. Energy recovery ventilators make reducing the number of airborne contaminants inside your home easy and affordable. These whole-home ventilation systems use energy captured from outgoing air to bring pre-filtered outdoor air indoors. You breathe fresher, cleaner air without sending your energy bills soaring.
