According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Indoor air quality, or IAQ, refers to the quality of the air in your home, which can significantly affect your health, comfort, and productivity. But how can you clean what you can't see? First, look at the sources of poor indoor air.

Sources of Indoor Air Quality Problems:

• Pollutants such as dust and mold
• Poor ventilation and improper furnace filtration
• High temperature and humidity levels
• Cleaning supplies and household chemicals
• Pet dander
• Radon
• Building and paint products
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from new flooring, paint, or other household products

The air inside your home can be 2 to 5 times dirtier than the worst outdoor air. Homes built to conserve energy with tighter construction and better insulation can also trap and recirculate airborne particles, gases, unpleasant odors, and moisture in your living areas. At Ed's Heating Cooling Plumbing Electric, our highly trained IAQ specialists will find the right solution to improve your indoor air. If you have been considering investing in an air purifier, consider these benefits.

How Does an Air Purifier Work?

An air purifier combines an internal filter and a fan to draw in air and pass it through a filter. The filter traps pollutants such as dust, pollen, and bacteria, and disperses purified air back into your home. Since the purifier is connected to your HVAC unit, it’s like putting an air purifier in every room
