| Your Home's Environment Improve the quality of your home's air supply Controlling your home's comfort environment is much more than just having a furnace and air conditioner. It's also about the health of your family. There are many forces at work that affect how you feel, smell, and breathe while at home. Humidity, pollen, dust, mold, bacteria, smoke, pets, household chemicals and many other sources all contribute to the environment where you spend most of your waking hours. The air quality of your home is essential to healthy, comfortable living. Most homeowners believe pay little attention to what is in the air rather than the temperature of the air. Many respiratory ailments can be traced to sources that you live with everyday. In the case of elderly family members this can be the difference between misery and contentment. The Circle of Comfort takes into consideration the quality of your home's air resources and how they can be controlled to give you a clean, breathable supply. Below your will find a basic list of elements that determine your comfort. By controlling the relative humidity in you home, the growth of some sources of biological irritants can be minimized. A relative humidity of 30-50% is generally recommended for homes. Today, families are spending more of their time indoors. This makes humidity control a vital factor in maintaining your health.
Dry, indoor air is often the culprit for such common problems as itchy or cracked skin, eye irritation, dry, stuffy nasal passages and damaged home furnishings in your home. In addition to these comfort issues, dry indoor air can increase the possibility of catching or transmitting cold and flu viruses and can reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of your heating system. All of these problems can be alleviated with the help of the Circle of Comfort system. Haley Mechanical puts the moisture back into your indoor air so you can relax in warm, soothing comfort. A home that is too humid or damp can promote the growth of mold and dust mites. When present at high levels indoors, these microorganisms may adversely affect the health of individuals. Common symptoms of the presence of mold or dust mite exposure are allergic reactions such as runny nose, itchy eyes, throat irritation, headaches, etc. A real danger is homes that have high humidity levels also are more likely to become infested with termites and carpenter-ants. Since these insects prefer and migrate towards moist wood, your damp home is a perfect source of their existence. Central air conditioning gives you the greatest benefit of lowering the humidity within the home. Uncontrolled humidity is like a silent, invisible cancer that slowly destroys your home right before your eyes! Cleaning the air inside your home is more important now than it ever has been. Beginning with the energy crisis of the 1970s, new construction homes have become better insulated to prevent the escape of heated or cooled air. These air-tight, energy-efficient homes also seal in dust, dirt, pollen, mold, skin flakes, bacteria and other airborne pollutants. These pollutants settle on your furnishings, your woodwork, and even in your lungs. For many allergy sufferers, pollen is actually just one part of a three-pronged attack. The other two culprits, mold and dust, silently lie and wait for you inside your home. Pollen-induced allergies can be worse in the spring and fall, but allergies to mold and dust are year-round plagues. Once an allergy has been identified, the next step is to decrease or eliminate exposure to the allergen. Air filtration systems can aid some people by decreasing exposure to allergens. Evidence shows that allergy and asthma symptoms may improve over time, if the recommended environmental control changes are made. Many of the changes are for the entire home. The bedroom is the most important, because the bedroom is where people usually spend 1/3 to 1/2 of their time.
While you can't do anything to control the pollen outside, you can take steps to reduce allergy triggers in your home. Your air filtration system must be carefully selected and properly maintained. Haley's Circle of Comfort addresses all of these issues with a thorough analysis of your home environment. Click here to see how the Circle of Comfort controls your air quality. Airborne irritants are simply a fact of life. Molds can cause flare-ups of allergy symptoms, and in some cases, trigger asthma attacks. Bacteria, viruses and germs also can reside in the air you breathe every day. These airborne pollutants can effect your home comfort equipment, too. Allowed to circulate through your home and your system, these and other particles can build up on the indoor coil, inhibiting airflow and reducing heating and cooling efficiency.
