INDOOR AIR QUALITY

A high-quality HVAC system can do much more than simply keep your home cool in summer and cozy during the winter months. While reliable temperature regulation is vital to your household’s safety and comfort, so is the quality of air you and your loved ones breathe.

Research has demonstrated that the quality of air in most homes is inferior to that of the air in outdoor environments. In fact, the air in your home may have concentrations of certain air pollutants that are 2 to 5 times as high as the air just outside your front door! With Canadians spending increasing quantities of time in the home environment, investing in your home’s indoor air quality is more important than ever. The team at Simcoe Muskoka Home Comfort is here to help.

At SMHC, our highly trained and experienced technicians are dedicated to helping you and your family improve the indoor air quality in your Muskoka area home. We want you to breathe easily and we have the skills, equipment, and innovative air quality system options to help you achieve this goal and reap the many health benefits of excellent indoor air quality on a permanent basis.

HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATION SYSTEMS

Keep moisture, mould, and rot at bay in every season with this affordable and environmentally friendly HVAC solution! HRV systems replace stale indoor air with fresh air drawn in from outside, all without impacting the temperature in your home or increasing your energy bills.  SMHC also installs and maintains energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems, which are similar to HRV systems but transfer moisture between incoming and outgoing airstreams (in addition to heat) to maintain consistent humidity levels in your home.

What Causes Poor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality can be impacted by a spectrum of different factors that may include:

  • The burning of solid fuels, such as wood or coal, in the home.
  • Building materials, such as flooring, paint, or insulation that release chemicals in the home.
  • Poor outdoor air quality that brings smoke, smog, pollen, pesticides, or other pollutants into the home.
  • Pets that shed fur or release dander into the air.
  • The presence of mould, moisture, mildew, or bacteria in the home.
  • The use of cleaning supplies, paints, or other chemicals that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the home.

Common Signs Of Poor Air Quality

Many homeowners may not realize that long-term exposure to poor air quality is detracting from their quality of life until they recognize the following signs and health impacts:

  • Odours in the home
  • An accumulation of particulate matter
  • Damaged woodwork and/or artwork
