Hoffmann Brothers Mechanical HVAC Contractors – Indoor Air Quality
Air Quality and Its Effects on Allergies, Asthma and Your Health
The mechanical systems in your building can have a big impact on your indoor air quality. In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air, within buildings, can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air, even in the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. Hoffmann Brothers Mechanical Contractors wants to help get rid of the indoor air pollution for your office or company building. Contact us to see how we can improve your indoor air quality.
Carbon Dioxide Reduces office Productivity
Carbon dioxide is a normal constituent of exhaled breath and is commonly measured as a screening tool to evaluate whether adequate volumes of fresh outdoor air are being introduced into indoor air. The outdoor level of carbon dioxide is usually 300 - 400 parts per million (ppm). The carbon dioxide level is usually greater inside a building than outside, even in buildings with few complaints about indoor air quality. If indoor carbon dioxide levels are more than 1,000 ppm, there is probably inadequate ventilation; and complaints such as headaches, fatigue, and eye and throat irritation may be prevalent. We want to make your staff and employees most productive and through indoor air quality we can help improve that. Contact Hoffmann Brothers for a IAQ test.
Carbon dioxide itself is not responsible for the complaints; however, a high level of carbon dioxide may indicate that other contaminants in the building also may be present at elevated levels and could be responsible for occupant complaints. Have Hoffmann Brothers measure the pollutants inside your office or building with our indoor air quality diagnostic test.
Upgrade the Air Filter in your Mechanical System
Most heating and cooling systems still use a basic air filter. These filters were originally designed to protect the equipment and not the people served by the equipment. The average air filter is only capable of removing 3-5% of the particles that pass through it. Today, however, there are several types of permanent air filters available in various efficiencies that can help you filter the air in your home.
The indoor air quality consultants at Hoffmann Brothers Mechanical HVAC can recommend several types of permanent air filters in varying efficiencies that can clean the air in your home, including the same filters used in hospitals.
Using Ultraviolet Germicidal Lights:
One of the most important issues relating to air quality is mold that can grow in your building or air conditioning system, because it can cause serious and sometimes even irreversible health damage if it is not taken care of. Hoffmann Brothers Mechanical HVAC uses UVC technology in the form of Ultraviolet germicidal lights to handle mold, which is a new breakthrough process that attacks the organism’s DNA and either destroys it immediately or prevents it from reproducing. These ultraviolet units are highly effective indoor air quality products that have been independently tested and proven effective for killing mold and bacteria in heating and cooling systems.
