You’re probably breathing more allergens than you think.
Believe it or not, the quality of the air inside your home is probably worse than it is outdoors. Not only can dirty air make you less comfortable, it can potentially create a serious problem for family members who suffer from allergies and asthma. Consider….
- Most homes naturally generate about 40 pounds of dust per year for every 1,500 square feet of space.
- Just one ounce of dust can hold about 40,000 dust mites, one of the most common household allergens.
- Up to 72 trillion allergens find their way into your home every day.
Many people believe that their heating and cooling system is already cleaning the air. But the fact is, your system might be making the problem worse, not better.
That’s because most system’s are equipped with a standard 1″ air filter, which is designed primarily to keep debris like pet hair and feathers from damaging the equipment. They are NOT designed to clean the air. So whenever your system is on, it churns up allergens and circulates them throughout your home.
AHR Mechanical is Certified in Air Balancing and Air Diagnostics for all your Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) concerns.
AHR Mechanical can provide filtration solutions to make your home a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Our filtration systems are capable of cleaning your air up to an astonishing 99.98% of particles and more than 99% of the common flu virus from the filtered air. What’s more, we can trap particles as small as .1 microns in size. Irritating particles like dust, pollen, mold spores, viruses and bacteria are often .1 microns- so small that 20 million particles of that size could fit on the period at the end of this sentence.
