Air Quality IssuesIndoor air quality is a growing concern. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the air quality inside homes may be up to 70 times worse than that of outside air.
With the increased prevalence of allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems in North America, it's important to make your home environment as healthy as possible, starting with the quality of the air you breathe.
This can be difficult to do, especially in today's energy efficient homes. While energy efficient homes are great for keeping heat inside in the winter (and outside in the summer) the tightly constructed nature of the homes make it difficult for indoor air to escape.
As a result, allergens and other pollutants build up in your home, remain trapped inside, and are inhaled by you and your family members.
This can have a detrimental impact on your health, especially for those who suffer from allergies and asthma.
Poor Indoor Air Can Impact Your Health
I keep my home very clean. Could the air in my home still not be clean?
Yes. Consider that the average home generates 40 pounds of dust for every 1500 square feet of space. While regular home cleaning is an excellent measure to reduce exposure to irritants and pollutants, it's simply impossible to remove enough of the material by hand to make your home's air as comfortable as it can be.
What can be done to help make my home's air cleaner?
1) You might want to consider having your ducts cleaned to start.
2) Keep your filters clean and change them regularly.
3) Install a High Efficiency air filter or Air Cleaner is the only way to maintain the clean Air.
How does a whole-home air cleaner work as part of my system?
Whole Home Air Cleaners are designed to perfectly fit as a component of your total home comfort system. Unlike many air cleaners that are situated in a single room of the house, Whole Home Air Cleaners are installed and operated through the same duct work that your furnace or air conditioner might use. So even though it’s attractively designed, it operates out of sight of most living spaces to provide up to 99.98% cleaner air throughout your entire home. How often should I change or clean my filters?
Filters should generally be replaced every month when the system is running. Replace filters with the same kind and size as the original filter. If your filter is not disposable, follow the manufacturer instructions for cleaning. Failure to clean or replace the filter can negatively impact the performance and life of your equipment.
Where is my filter located?
Your air filter should be located beside the blower compartment of the furnace, in an attached filter case, If you cannot find the air filter, contact Green-Tech for assistance.
Where can I purchase filters?
