Improve Indoor Air Quality for Better Health

The COVID-19 outbreak was devastating, and it forced more homeowners and business owners to take a closer look at indoor air quality and how it affects health. According to OSHA (the Occupational Safety & Health Administration), poor HVAC maintenance is a leading cause of bad air quality. It can lead to skin rashes, respiratory irritation and, in some cases, even chronic medical conditions.

Many homeowners and employers are making changes in hopes of correcting air quality issues and creating a healthier environment at home and work. Basra Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. can help you find the best HVAC solutions for improving indoor air quality.

HVAC Components That Foster a Healthy Environment

Clean air should be a priority. So, what can you do to improve it? The number one component for healthy air is a well-designed ventilation system. If your system doesn’t properly balance gases or remove contaminants, you could put occupants at risk. Correcting a ventilation issue can be as simple as moving ductwork or relocating intakes.

Something else you should review is humidity control. Without maintenance, lines become clogged and your HVAC system traps any moisture it tries to remove from the air. This creates the potential for mold, mildew and bacteria growth which can spread to your air ducts.

How to Make It Work for Your Business

Your business keeps you busy, and it’s not uncommon to forget about changing the air filters. Dirty filters cause debris to back up into HVAC equipment, then travel the ductwork and affect your indoor air quality. Our HVAC experts provide duct cleaning services to remove dust and mold.

Proper condenser coil maintenance is also important. Because this coil is on your outdoor unit, it often accumulates dirt. This can trap heat and humidity in the air and lead to expensive repairs. We offer maintenance plans so you can improve the air you provide to employees and customers.
