Indoor Air Quality Services

The Symptoms

Indoor air pollution and its health implications are a rapidly growing concern for families today. You want your family to be safe from the air pollution problems found in the outside environment, yet you may be unaware that indoor air pollution can have a major effect on your family’s health, comfort, and safety as well.

Indoor air pollution contributes to lung disease, including respiratory tract infections, asthma, lung cancer, and can greatly exacerbate allergy symptoms. If you or a family member suffer from allergies or asthma, or if you have infants or elderly persons living in the home, indoor air pollution and its health implications are of even greater concern to you.

The Diagnosis

How HomeAdvice Works

The process typically involves three main steps:

1. Blanton’s will place a monitor in your home for a period of 3-5 days. Data is automatically transmitted to our data center through the cellular network or a phone line.
2. The data is evaluated and matched with the best possible solutions.
3. Our consultant will return to your home at your convenience with a full report from HomeAdvice.

The Solution

Once you have all the facts, and have discussed the finding with our technician, there are three proven means for improving your home’s Indoor Air Quality:

1. Source Control – This simply refers to taking the steps necessary to decrease or eliminate the causes of indoor air pollution in your home.
2. Ventilation – Sure, opening the windows can help, but weather conditions don’t always make this possible and even when the windows are open the actual exchange of air with the outside may be relatively small due to a build-up of positive pressure indoors. For this reason, the EPA recommends that homes, particularly newer, well-sealed homes, use some form of mechanical ventilation to ensure a certain level of air exchange with the outdoors.
3. Air Purification – While Source Control is inarguably the most important step to improve indoor air quality, the addition of an air purification system is certainly the most underutilized. Many homeowners fail to realize that the panel filters used by most HVAC systems are designed to protect the equipment, not the people inside the home, from airborne pollutants. Older ducts systems can actually decrease the IAQ by providing a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. As such, more and more Americans are opting to employ some type of indoor air purification technology in their home.
