INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Indoor Air Quality is a growing concern. Due to an increase in pollutants, IAQ has worsened over the last thirty years. The tightness of American homes, as we strive to save energy, is a contributing factor. Because of less ventilation, there is less air coming in and less opportunity for bad gases to escape. Carpets, insulation, paint, pressed wood, furniture, adhesives, pets, cleaning products, and pesticides all contribute to the deterioration of your home air quality.
Fortunately, it’s simple and relatively inexpensive to improve ventilation and Indoor Air Quality. As a Factory Authorized Dealer, MPG offers the most innovative solutions to Indoor Air Quality concerns.
Aprilaire's award-winning air purifiers clean indoor air as often as eight times an hour and removes pollutants from the air that are up 18,000 times smaller than the head of a pin. Aprilaire ventilators quietly work to not only replace stale indoor air with fresh outside air all year long, but also pre-condition the incoming air to better match the inside air temperature.
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) eliminates potentially harmful microbes, bacteria, yeast, mold, and even cooking odors. Installed within your HVAC duct systems, UV protects against spreading airborne viruses, reducing concentrations of airborne bio aerosols by 50% within 45 minutes. Field Control's UV lamps kill organisms that often grow on the indoor coil of your cooling system, not only eliminating mold and bacteria but increasing your system performance at the same time.
Managing Humidity
​
Do you ever get a shock from your carpet? That’s a sure sign your humidity level is too low. The most effective way to humidify the entire house is with an evaporative model that can be positioned in your central furnace. Steam output humidifiers are perfect for larger homes or when you want more precise control over humidity. Fan-powered humidifiers are designed to quietly blow moisture directly into ductwork and spread proper humidity throughout your home.

Indoor Air Quality has a significant impact on your family’s well being. You may not even notice it unless you’re uncomfortable, but poor IAQ has been proven to contribute to health problems such as headaches, eye irritation, nausea, allergies, fatigue, and asthma.

HOW DOES THE AIR QUALITY OUTSIDE AFFECT MY HOUSE?
Regardless of how well you think you’ve sealed your home, air will circulate from outside and come indoors. So, if you have a strong source of pollutants near your home, such as a busy highway or an airport, you are more likely to have air quality issues inside your home. The concentrations, however, will be relatively low, which means it is very feasible to control and remove those pollutants with effective air filtration.
WHICH TYPE OF AIR CLEANER IS BEST FOR MY HOME?
The type of air cleaner you use will largely depend on what types of pollutants are found in your home. Most homes will have a decent amount of common allergens like pet dander, dust and mold, but some might also suffer from gasses, exhaust fumes, or smoke from outdoor sources. If testing or observation shows that you suffer from the latter even in a small amount, an electronic air cleaner may be the best solution for your home.
However, if your primary issues are stuffiness and a build-up of dust during the winter and summer when the house is sealed up, a mechanical filter is not only less expensive, it can work incredibly well if it has HEPA certification.
