Indoor Air Quality, Windsor

Improving Your Homes Air Quality

Improving indoor air quality in Windsor homes is a vital service we provide. Union Air knows how important the quality of indoor air is to your family’s health and comfort.

Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) has been tied to symptoms like headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Also, some diseases have been linked to poor IAQ, such as asthma. Bad air quality in Windsor homes can be up to 100 times worse than the air outside. Dust, dirt, bacteria, VOCs, and other pollutants come into the house with no way back out.

Fortunately, there are ways to ensure your home has healthy indoor air quality. To improve the air you breathe in your home we suggest using 5 inch filters, HEPA filters, UV lights and humidifiers.

Healthy Choices for Clean Indoor Air Quality

5 Inch Filer

5-inch air filters offer a thick surface area of accordion-shaped material to catch all the dirt you want to keep away from your family. For cleaner air, the thicker filter provides less debris slipping through the cracks

HEPA Filters

HEPA filters prevent ultrafine pollutants from being recirculated into the air. They trap small, harmful particles, such as pollen, pet dander, smoke and dust mites by forcing air through a fine mesh

UV lights kill airborne germs, which helps to improve the overall air quality of a home.

UV Light

The carbon core and UV light technology target unwanted odors, volatile organic compounds, and common household gases while aiding in the reduction of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.

Humidifiers

Humidifiers make the air in a home more comfortable. They control the humidity levels, preventing dry air that fosters airborne allergens and other contaminants like viruses that lead to colds and flu.
