Have you ever wondered about the quality of air in your home? Did you know that mold, mildew, bacteria, pollen and dust are present in almost every home? These allergens can negatively impact the health and comfort of your family. The EPA has discovered that indoor levels of air pollutants in your home are in most circumstances much higher than outdoor levels. These increased levels are a result of everyday routines such as cooking, cleaning, and pets. Further, these indoor air pollutants can put your family at risk, while making your home less comfortable and less efficient.
Most often than not, you may not even notice that your home’s indoor air quality is resulting in a reduction in your families health, but if you have a loved one with allergies or asthma, these conditions are likely more than apparent in your home! Take for example one of today’s energy efficient homes. Did you know in many of these homes your carbon dioxide levels can easily climb to over 1,000 parts per million if air quality mechanisms were not put in place to deal with this? No need to panic though. Major can easily investigate your home’s air conditions by performing a quick-read indoor air analysis. Once the conditions are known, our Comfort Specialists will recommend the proper actions to take to get your air quality under control.
