Poor IAQ Can Affect Your Health

Fixing IAQ Issues with Ventilation
When it comes to freshening your home’s air, ventilation is a quick and effective option. Whole home ventilation systems exhaust stale and polluted indoor air and replace it with fresher, filtered air from the outdoors. Healthy Home offers ventilation systems that will even help preserve your temperature settings so you don’t waste money constantly heating or cooling outdoor air. These systems can work year round, helping you freshen your home’s air even if it’s hot outside and cooler indoors, and vice versa.
Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)
Healthy Home Energy & Consulting offers Energy Recovery Ventilators to keep your air healthy and comfortable. An Energy Recovery Ventilator works to pull fresh air in from the outdoors with the added bonus of helping you maintain proper humidity levels. High humidity can contribute to unhealthy mold growth, making ERVs hugely helpful in homes with frequent humidity challenges.
If you're ready to improve the indoor air quality if you are home, a key step is minimizing the amount of outdoor air pollution that can sneak into your living areas. After all, what would be the point of improving home ventilation if all of your clean indoor air could easily escape to the outdoors?
Air sealing from Healthy Home Energy & Consulting is the process of filling in small gaps and cracks throughout your home's building envelope. By preventing outdoor air from creeping in through these hard-to-see openings, you can reduce the intrusion of pollen, humidity, and other air pollutants that can leave you breathing low quality air.
