Indoor Air Quality Solutions in Temecula & Surrounding Cities 

Do you know what’s in the air you’re breathing? If you ask the average person about the quality of their indoor air, they’ll likely say it’s fine or they have no problems. What they don’t realize is that the air in their home is more than likely suffering from a variety of issues. Those who regularly keep their home closed up to preserve heated or cooled air during the extreme seasons usually have air that can be as much as five to ten times worse than the air outside. That can lead to a ton of problems – in addition to requiring you to clean more, it can cause household odors and even health issues with allergies, asthma attacks, and even consequences from mold.

Signs of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality can have various signs and symptoms. Here are some common indicators:

• Odors: Persistent unpleasant smells can indicate the presence of mold, mildew, bacteria, or chemicals in the air.
• Allergic reactions: Symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, or skin irritation can be signs of poor indoor air quality, particularly if they worsen when indoors and improve when outdoors.
• Excessive dust: Visible accumulation of dust on surfaces throughout the home can indicate poor air quality. This dust may contain particles that aggravate respiratory issues.
• Mold or mildew: Visible mold or mildew growth on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces is a clear sign of high humidity levels and poor air circulation, which can lead to respiratory problems.
• Humidity: Excessive humidity levels can promote the growth of mold, mildew, and dust mites, contributing to poor air quality and potential health issues.
• Respiratory issues: Frequent coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing experienced by occupants, especially when indoors, can be indicative of poor indoor air quality.
• Headaches or fatigue: Constant headaches, fatigue, or feeling unwell without any apparent cause may be related to poor air quality, as certain pollutants can cause these symptoms.
• Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors alarming: If a carbon monoxide detector goes off, it indicates the presence of this odorless, colorless gas, which can be lethal in high concentrations.
• Excessive condensation: Condensation on windows, walls, or pipes can indicate high humidity levels and poor ventilation, which can contribute to mold growth and poor indoor air quality.
• Symptoms improve outdoors: If occupants experience relief from symptoms such as headaches or respiratory issues when they spend time outdoors, it may suggest that indoor air quality is a contributing factor to their discomfort.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to investigate and address the underlying causes to improve indoor air quality and promote a healthier living environment.

Air Filtration Solutions 

Air filtration is one of the most common ways of improving your indoor air quality, and likewise one of the simplest. Air filtration simply involves straining the air in your home through the air filter in your heating and cooling system, which is designed to remove the airborne contaminants floating around your living space.

Filtration systems can remove several harmful pollutants from your air, including: 

• Dust
• Pollen 
• Dander 
• Bacteria 
• Viruses 
• Mold spores 

In some cases, we can help you improve your indoor air quality by boosting the filtration capabilities of your existing HVAC system. This is often the most preferable way to do things since it often doesn’t involve installing a new air conditioning or heating unit. However, for those who need extra filtration, we also offer a number of filtration technology devices which add yet another degree of cleaning power to your home for the best results.

Air Purification Devices 

Air purification systems also improve your indoor air quality, but often in a different way from filtration. One example of an air purification device that’s common in coastal areas is a UV air scrubber, which uses ultraviolet light to neutralize any biological organisms floating in the air, including mold and bacteria. By neutralizing them in the air, they’re rendered inert, which means they can’t multiply and spread, and they are more easily filtered out by your air filter.

Additional types of air purification systems to consider for your home include: 

• Whole house air purifiers 
• Activated carbon air purifiers 
• Ionic air purifiers 
• Electric air cleaners 
• Humidifiers 
• Dehumidifiers
