All Dade Air Conditioning & Heating - Indoor Air Quality

Did you know that the air that flows through your home, moving from your ventilation system supply ducts into the various rooms, and then back through the return ducts, is filled with millions of tiny particles? Many are harmless, but many others aren’t. In fact, the quality of your indoor air may actually be poorer than the air quality outdoors — this can have a big impact on the health of your HVAC system, but more importantly, the health of your family.

Time and time again we have heard about air being hard to breathe in, allergy triggering, and causing itch all over. At All Dade Air Conditioning & Heating, we have many solutions to combat dirty and potentially moldy air due to high humidity in Miami and the surrounding areas. We’ve heard about sneezing habits every time the air conditioning system comes on and your air conditioning filter getting black as night within a week. The harmful contaminants seeping into your Miami home or business can include pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, and even volatile organic chemicals. You may think that your home is clean, but without the right indoor air quality products and services, it can actually be quite unhealthy. Take one step at a time toward breathing freely with the indoor air quality solutions from All Dade Air Conditioning & Heating.

Why is Indoor Air Quality important?

The quality of the air we breathe, both indoors and outdoors, has a direct effect on our health and comfort. You may notice some of the more prominent side effects of indoor air pollution, like an unpleasant odor, but many others go undetected.

Mildew and black mold are common symptoms of poor air quality, and as the spores circulate, they perpetuate bad air quality. Common causes of black mold, especially mold in bathrooms, include lingering moisture from improper ventilation, leaky toilets and sinks, and damp porous materials like rugs and drywall. Mold infestations often require professional cleaning, but if you ensure good air quality with proper HVAC maintenance, you shouldn’t have to worry about an infestation starting.

Both black mold and mildew grow in porous, organic material, and they thrive in humid conditions such as those found here in Miami and the surrounding areas. Mold and mildew can both cause respiratory problems, but the CDC says mold is more likely to cause cold-like symptoms or more serious issues like shortness of breath and lung infections. Reduce your chances of bathroom mold with air conditioner maintenance and repair with the help of All Dade Air Conditioning & Heating.

Indoor air pollution can cause serious health issues, including:

  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Sore eyes
  • Burning nose
  • Worsening allergies
  • Respiratory issues
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Heart disease
  • Cancer
  • Other serious, long-term conditions
  • Death, when carbon monoxide or other pollutants are present in high concentrations

According to the EPA, “Concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher [indoors] than typical outdoor concentrations.”

The good news? You don’t have to leave the quality of the air you breathe up to chance. Call All Dade Air Conditioning & Heating at 305-278-8833 to learn how we can help you improve the quality of the air in your home or business.

Indoor Air Quality to fight COVID-19

Indoor air quality has come under scrutiny in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. An increased number of homeowners as well as business owners are looking for air filtration, air cleaners, and other indoor air quality products to add a layer of protection to their families against the virus. Though no product or service can fully protect against any virus, many products offered by All Dade Air Conditioning & Heating can help reduce your risk of spreading the virus through your home.

Indoor Air Quality Frequently Asked Questions

Air that is too dry can cause respiratory distress, dry skin, and problems for wood items in your home. Air that is too humid can increase the risk of mold growth and provide a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria. For this reason, indoor air quality needs to include a plan for dehumidifiers and humidifiers to keep the air inside the home at the right moisture level.

Better indoor air filtration and the use of indoor air cleaners can add a layer of protection against COVID-19. Air cleaners, especially UV cleaners, can also help neutralize the virus so it cannot reproduce and continue spreading through your home, though no product or service can fully protect against the virus. Indoor air quality can also improve your breathing if you do catch the virus because proper humidity levels and reduced allergens using air filtration, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers improves overall respiratory health.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, air filtration can help lessen the number of airborne contaminants, including viruses, in your home. This makes it an effective measure to take against the spread of COVID-19. When paired with the best cleaning practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, air filtration can help reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
