Indoor Air Quality Services in Des Moines, Iowa

What Is IAQ and Why Does it Matter?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the overall health and cleanliness of the air inside a building. Poor IAQ can be the result of numerous factors such as building materials, cleaning supplies, local pollution, and improper ventilation. Your IAQ matters because it can affect the health and well-being of those that live, work, shop, dine, or meet inside your building.

It can lead to a range of health issues, including:

Headaches
Fatigue
Allergies
Respiratory problems

Because a variety of factors affect IAQ, there is no single solution for improving it. Instead, the best remedy for bad air is one that targets the things that are introducing or circulating irritating substances. On this page, we have offered information about what contributes to your IAQ and how we approach improving indoor environments. After years of experience, we know what works when it comes to IAQ. If you are interested in knowing what is affecting yours and how we can help, connect with us today.

While the three sections below detail ways our professional team can help improve your IAQ, there are many everyday things you can do as well. To start, regularly dusting and cleaning your spaces is a simple way to keep your air healthy—and you are likely already doing it! Additionally, opening windows and doors on days that are at a comfortable temperature, using cleaning products that do not have fragrances, and getting a variety of indoor plants are all ways that you can enhance your IAQ.

How Ductwork Affects IAQ

Your home or business’s ductwork is an important component of your HVAC system, as it helps circulate air. Ductwork that has not been maintained can lead to a variety of IAQ issues.

These include the circulation and accumulation of:

Dust
Vehicle exhaust
Outdoor allergens
Other fine particulate matter or chemicals

Leaky ducts in your attic, basement, and crawl space can also allow unfiltered air into circulation. To prevent these issues from occurring, it is important to seek regular maintenance for your HVAC system that involves checking and changing filters or sealing leaky joints or holes in ducts. With our IAQ services in Des Moines, you can get just this.

IAQ Technologies

IAQ technologies such as air purifiers, filters, UV lights, and dehumidifiers can effectively improve the air in your home or business.

Here is how:

Air purifiers remove pollutants and allergens from the air such as pet dander, dust, and pollen. They also mitigate the effects of sources of indoor air pollution including cleaning materials, vehicle exhaust, smoke, and cooking by-products.
Filters are commonplace for residential and commercial HVAC systems. They work similarly to purifiers by trapping pollutants in the air and preventing them from circulating in your indoor spaces.
UV lights can quickly reduce ailments caused by poor indoor air quality by sterilizing airborne pathogens to help you breathe easier.
Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air, which can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

If you would like to find out whether any of the above would benefit your indoor environment, turn to our team. We would be happy to help you weigh your options and add features to your HVAC system that help you breathe easy!

Ventilation Is Key for Good Air

Proper ventilation helps to remove moisture, pollutants, and stale air from a building, replacing it with fresh air. Without adequate ventilation, indoor pollutants can accumulate and cause the range of health problems we listed at the top of the page. To improve and maintain your IAQ, it is important to ensure you have an adequate ventilation system in place and that it is working well. Our professional team is your go-to for all things to do with ventilation. If yours needs some improvements, you can trust us to modify it or install upgrades to improve your circulation and IAQ.
