Indoor air quality refers to pollution in your Mobile home or business. The concentration of airborne pollutants can be 2–5 times greater than in the open air. Since most people spend 90% of their time inside and breathe roughly 3,000 gallons of air everyday (according to the American Lung Association), this can eventually lead to problems.
Depending on your specific air quality issues, solutions include:
Some of the typical sources of pollutants include Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) such as cleaning or personal care products, fuel-burning utilities and kitchen appliances, and particulate matter like dust, pollen and smoke.
Absolutely. Pollutants and particulate matter can bring about illnesses and worsen respiratory conditions, especially for children and the elderly. For certain contaminants like carbon monoxide gas, the effects may even be lethal.
Solving indoor air quality concerns can result in a host of benefits to your health and well-being, such as:
If you find yourself cleaning every day or coughing constantly, your indoor air may be the reason why. According to EPA studies, indoor pollutants can reach concentrations as much as 100 times higher than the air outdoors. You can determine your indoor air quality by scheduling a Home Health® Report consultation with Climate Control Service Experts.
Each home has differing comfort needs, especially if someone in your Mobile home has allergies, asthma or a weak immune system. You may have a need for a single product like a high-efficiency air filtration system, or multiple. Climate Control Service Experts can help you find the right combination of equipment.
No. HVAC air filters are different in quality and design, and some have exclusive features. We generally advise using the filter your HVAC manufacturer recommends pairing with your system. All filters are assigned MERV ratings on a scale from 1–20. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value and can aid you to identify high-efficiency filters. For most residential needs, a MERV rating of 11 or lower is appropriate.
The optimal schedule for cleaning or replacing your air filter depends on multiple factors, like the filter design and MERV rating as well as the current indoor air quality. For standard 1”-3” filters, most brands recommend replacement every 30-90 days. Pets, health conditions and even nearby pollution sources can lead to replacing the filter more often.
Presuming the problem is not your body’s hydration, extremely dry air can irritate your throat and sinuses. Look at getting a whole-home humidifier if you consistently struggle with a dry, itchy throat.
Your HVAC system removes moisture as it runs, leading to situations where humidity levels fall out of balance. Portable humidifiers can resolve humidity concerns in a single room or small area, but a central humidifier provides balanced humidity throughout the entire building.
For many, comfortable humidity levels are between 30-60%. These levels are particularly hard to maintain in the winter, as cold air does not hold onto moisture as well as warm air. What’s more, your furnace displaces moisture by generating hot, dry heat.
The wisest way to find an appropriate whole-house humidifier is multiplying the total square footage by the height of the ceiling. This will help determine how many gallons of water/H2O is required every hour to ensure balanced humidity.
You should also consider your available budget, as a humidifier needs maintenance just like any other mechanical device.
While specific amounts depend on the model, whole-house humidifiers average between 1.5 to 12 gallons per day. Needless to say, arid environments will use more water to keep humidity stable.
Scheduled preventive maintenance is often essential for sustainable equipment efficiency, and your humidifier is no exception. The humidifier’s reservoir should be frequently drained and cleaned to prevent mold.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas released by partial fuel combustionwhich, in turn is frequently caused by inadequate access to oxygen. Appliances relying on natural gas, charcoal, wood or kerosene are common sources of CO gas, especially if they are not running correctly or have been installed incorrectly. CO is poisonous to the body and is lethal at high levels or extended exposure.
Initial symptoms such as nausea and tiredness are often mistaken as a result of the flu. But CO gas exposure can advance, oftentimes leading to confusion, organ damage or even death. Other symptoms include:
Yes. Getting rid of carbon monoxide should be a top priority because of the risk it poses to your health and well-being. CO gas can be discovered in any Mobile home or commercial property, making safe ventilation and prevention techniques universally beneficial.
Prevention is the optimum place to start. A few safety precautions to take include:
If carbon monoxide has been detected, you should immediately vacate the building and alert the fire department and utility provider. If a leak is discovered, you should then contact a dependable HVAC company for repairs.
If an air freshener isn’t doing the trick, there may be microbes or contaminants nearby producing the unpleasant odor. Bacteria and mold are typical sources, but they can be fixed with the sanitation properties of a germicidal UV light. They are particularly effective against odor-producing microorganisms.
