It is important to be able to live and work in environments which provide optimum levels of clean and fresh air containing the least amount of pollutants possible. Alarmingly, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently reported that the air which we breathe indoors can be up to five times more polluted than air inhaled outdoors! This is especially the case in developed industrialized cities and of further concern when the latest research also indicates that most people spend as much as ninety percent of their time living and working indoors. Air quality is dramatically affected by pollutants such as carbon dioxide, airborne particulate matter, carbon monoxide, temperature and relative humidity.
It cannot be stressed enough that people need to take measures to control the levels of pollution within their homes and work environments to vastly improve air quality. The consequences of having compromised levels of air quality include people developing numerous health conditions including allergies, asthma, lung disorders, fatigue and even hypertensive behavior. Poor air quality can be extremely serious for the young or elderly and those people with chronic cardiovascular and respiratory issues, as airborne pollutants can cause them to develop life threatening illness.
There are particular areas within a home which are susceptible to develop problems with, for example, the unwanted growth of biological pollutants such as mold and mildew. The spores of these fungi are airborne and once inhaled they can cause allergies to occur. Pet dander is another common allergen which can stay airborne for a considerable time and cause people reactions such as skin itching, rashes, sore eyes, itchy throat, dizziness and headaches. There are natural filters available to remove air pollutants and vastly improve indoor air quality, like using plants around the home or office.
There are high quality services available which provide both the home and commercial properties with a variety of efficient and energy saving products, such as heating and cooling systems, air conditioning, heat pumps, as well as specialized efficient geothermal units. Many of these systems have lower overall utility costs and a reduced impact on the environment.
A geothermal system is especially efficient, meaning that you will not need to install an additional heating system. You can opt for a mini split heating system, which is a highly recommended option for the central Florida region in particular, as it provides efficient heating and cooling without the need for any ductwork. There are efficient heat pumps which use electricity to move heat from the inside of your home or office to the outside; this is excellent in practice during the very hot weather natural to Florida.
When choosing a professional heating and indoor air quality company it is important to ensure that they provide technicians who will visit your residential or commercial property, assess your current situation, and give you a free and no obligation estimate on the costs of installing, replacing and maintaining their energy saving equipment. They should advise you about important system upgrades for installed units; these can save you large amounts of money annually. Your technician will ensure that your system is working at optimum performance, running in full cycles instead of short cycling, and will accurately measure its filtration and dehumidification rates, making changes where required.
You are now able to control your temperatures at home or at the office by using your tablet, computer or mobile phone to alter thermostats and you can also control the temperature of each room by using a smart ‘zone’ system. This will vastly improve energy efficiency, which results in your costs being lower too.
