INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND VENTILATION ON THE SOUTH SHORE

Condensation on windows, musty odours, persistent dust, stale air or worsening allergy symptoms at home are all signs that your home isn't being ventilated properly. Well-sealed modern homes are especially prone to these problems without a proper ventilation system.

An air exchanger replaces stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, which controls humidity and pollutants. An air purifier filters the air already inside your home to capture dust, pollen and other particles. The two are complementary: one renews the air, the other cleans it.

Indoor humidity should generally stay between 30% and 50%. Too humid, it encourages mould and dust mites; too dry, it irritates the respiratory tract and the skin. A properly adjusted air exchanger helps keep humidity in this range all year long.

Filters should be cleaned or replaced every 2 to 3 months, and the unit should be inspected by a technician once a year. Regular maintenance keeps the air healthy, prevents breakdowns and extends the life of your equipment.

Good ventilation and filtration reduce the amount of dust, pollen and other allergens in your home, which can make the indoor environment more comfortable. For any health concern, we recommend consulting a health professional.

Every home is different. One of our certified technicians can assess your home, your ventilation needs and your current equipment, then recommend the right solution. Book a free assessment or call us at 450-282-1204.
