Improving The Air Quality In Your Home
The more energy-efficient our homes become, the more poor indoor air quality becomes a concern! While effectively sealing your home prevents air from leaking in or out, it also means constant exposure to the same recirculating indoor air.
Without proper care, the air within your home may harbor allergens and indoor pollutants including dust, pollen, mold, pet dander and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). You could be breathing in unwanted pollutants considering you spend a generous portion of your time inside, so why not do everything in your power to create a healthier and more comfortable environment for yourself and your family?
The well-being of a building’s inhabitants is a good indicator of air quality. Keep a close eye on the onset of symptoms including congestion, sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, headaches and regular nosebleeds if you or a member of your family suffers from them regularly.
Your house, like your body, could be sending you signals that something isn’t quite right. What proof do you have in your home that bad indoor air quality exists? Here are a few things to look for:
- Dust buildup on vents and on household surfaces.
- Mold and mildew in the house.
- Foul odors in the house.
- Inconsistent air distribution.
There are several things you can do to change the air quality in your home for the better, right away!
- Change your AC filter regularly.
- Change all filters in household appliances on a regular basis (vacuum cleaners, humidifiers, etc.)
- Use your stove’s ventilation system each time you cook.
- Keep floors clean with regular vacuuming, sweeping and mopping.
- Control the level of humidity in your home.
An air scrubber, like most filtration devices, uses purification filters to help extract pollutants from the air as it circulates through the system. The scrubber removes dirty air from the room several times an hour while still pumping in new, chemical-free air.
Air purifiers simply clean the air, which can include pollutants, allergens and toxins.
Dust in the home can be caused by dirt from shoes and pet paws, as well as particles in the air that settle into carpet fibers. Vacuuming on a regular basis can help, as well as using microfiber dusting cloths that capture dust rather than disperse it back into the air.
Gaps around windows and doors can also allow outside dust and pollen to enter the house whenever the wind blows. Living near a dirt or gravel road might exacerbate the problem. To minimize dust from drifting in, fill in cracks around windows with caulk and replace outdated weather-stripping around doors.
In a word, yes. Like most of us you think of your home as a safe haven, but it may not be. Hazardous pollutants can be found in indoor air; in some cases, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, levels can be up to 70 times greater than those in outdoor air.
Indoor pollutants pose immediate problems for people with respiratory illnesses like allergies and asthma, and there is a consensus that prolonged exposure can negatively affect anyone’s health. Contact Hydes for solutions to your indoor air quality solutions.

Air Purification
Phenomenal Aire Cold Plasma Generator (CPG) cleans air naturally and safely by emulating nature and producing an electric plasma field with highly charged ions.

Air Exchanger/Ventilator
AnAccuExchange & Envirowise™ Ventilatorhelps replace old, stale indoor air with fresh, healthy outdoor air with minimal loss of cooling or heating energy. It offers quiet ventilation and requires very little maintenance. It’s the ideal solution for improving indoor air quality in today’s “tightly” insulated homes.
Duct Sealing
If your ducts have leaks, then not all the air that gets into your home has passed through the filter and air purifier. Also, contaminants from crawl spaces, wall voids or attics will seep into your ducts and mix with your clean air before it reaches your vents.
Air Filtration
TheAccuClean™ whole-home air filtration system and QuikBox™ air filters help improve your air quality and help with asthma & allergy conditions. The easiest way to get the cleanest air for you and your family is with air filters. Home air filters are available in two basic types: media filters that create a physical barrier to trap minute particles and electronic filters, which use a high-voltage charge to attract and capture contaminants
