Indoor Air Quality Services in Lebanon, OH
Breathe Cleaner Air Today!
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is defined as the quality of air within a residential dwelling or other building, and how this relates to the health, general well-being, and comfort of the people who are breathing the air.
When most people think of air contamination or pollution, they think of it as being an outdoor problem, centered primarily in big industrialized cities where smog and congestion can be seen as a haze or fog floating around in the air. Often people visualize images of smokestacks and chimneys in the distance, or exhaust pipes dissipating fumes amid a maze of traffic. In all of this, most people rarely imagine that the air inside their homes is actually more polluted than outdoor air.
However, it’s a fact that our everyday activities alter our indoor air quality. Cooking, showering, smoking, owning a pet; all can have an effect on the air we breathe if we don’t make efforts to improve our air quality.

4 Types of Air Filters
HEPA Filters
HEPA filters, or high-efficiency particulate air filters, have a specially designed filtration technology that is able to trap up to 99.97% of all particulates in the air in your home. Commonly used in hospitals and laboratories and other medical facilities, HEPA filters are not intended to be used on a lot of residential HVAC equipment, so be sure to check with your technician before trying to use one on your system. Also, keep in mind that like any other filter, HEPA filters need to be replaced regularly.
Pre Filters
A pre-filter goes before a system’s main air filter. Pre-filters capture large particulates that would normally clog the primary filter a lot easier. They are great for keeping the main filter-free and more able to efficiently trap smaller, more harmful microscopic allergens. This provides much longer-lasting filtration and improved filter performance. For the best air filtration results, pre-filters are always recommended.
Pleated Electrostatic Filters
An advanced air filter like an electrostatic filter is made with charged material that acts like a magnet to attract oppositely charged air particles. This magnetic effect enables the filter to seize far more particles than the average filter, including microscopic pollutants like allergens, bacteria, and smoke. Pleated filters have a larger dust-holding capacity, which allows them to capture and hold more pollutants. This makes the filter longer-lasting and far more efficient. Electrostatic filters will still need to be changed regularly because the more pollutants they trap, the less of a charge they carry.
Carbon Filters
Carbon filters are designed specifically to remove odors. Odors are often tiny gas particles that cannot be captured by normal air filters, or even highly efficient filters like electrostatic and HEPA filters. The carbon in carbon filters is treated with oxygen in a process that opens up millions of extremely tiny, highly absorbent pores that capture certain particles. However, carbon filters don’t merely trap only odors. Carbon filters remove smoke, gases, vapors, and even certain chemicals. They are perfect for people who have a problem with unpleasant odors.

6 Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality
With a little preventative maintenance and some basic understanding, you can take immediate steps to improve your indoor air quality today.
Clean Rugs & Carpets Often
Designate a "No-Smoking Zone"
Use Ventalation
Check your air ducts.
Air ducts are responsible for distributing hot and cold air throughout your home, providing a comfortable climate in every room. But ducts that are not installed properly or maintained can distribute contaminants from one room to another. Over time, dust, dander, and even mold can accumulate in your ducts, reducing the overall air quality. Hire a professional to make sure your ducts are circulating fresh, clean air.
Create a Safe Space
Anything that is flammable or combustible should be kept at least 3 feet away from all heating equipment and heat sources, including furnaces, fireplaces, and portable space heaters. This space should also be a “kid-free zone.”
Use a Programmable Thermostat
Using a programmable thermostat to turn the temperature lower while you sleep or work can decrease your energy consumption up to 25% without having to remember. Learn more about programmable thermostats today.
