In addition to heating and cooling, Action Furnace can help you with solutions to improve your home's Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) - often as an add-on to your existing system or new installation. For a place where we all spend so much time and raise our families, improving the air quality in our homes is certainly worthy of attention.

Indeed, over the border in the US, the Environmental Protection Agency has listed indoor air pollution as one of public health’s top five most significant environmental risks. You can read the Public Health Agency of Canada's advice on IAQ on this site here (opens in a new window) with further information from Health Canada here.

Poor IAQ can contribute to several health problems, such as:

• allergies
• asthma
• lung cancer
• respiratory tract infection

Symptoms of low IAQ include:

• coughing
• dry eyes
• fatigue
• headaches
• nasal irritation
• nausea
• red eyes
• scratchy throat
• sore throat
• watering eyes

Poor IAQ has a particularly negative impact on the health of infants and the elderly, with their weaker immune systems.

Action Furnace can help your home's air quality in a variety of ways:

IMPROVED VENTILATION

In a temperate climate you could just open the window, but in the depths of winter you would have to reheat your home. Action Furnace can help you with controlled ventilation and filtration. Indoor air pollutants are reduced, while your home’s energy efficiency remains high. Also, exhaust fans can help to circulate air in places such as kitchens and laundry rooms.

PARTICLE FILTERING

Install a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter for your air handling system that prevents tiny particles (such as pollen and dust mite feces) from entering the air you breath. Both pollen and dust mite populations are linked to allergies.

DUCT CLEANING

The removal of mold and dust from your air conditioning unit and ducting can be beneficial to your health and the efficient operation of your heating system. For more information visit our duct cleaning page: Calgary Duct Cleaning.

SAFETY CHECKS

Periodic maintenance checks can alleviate the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

MANAGE THE HUMIDITY LEVELS IN YOUR HOME

Which can help control the growth of unhealthy biological toxins, such as mold, not to mention make the air temperature feel more comfortable.

INSTALL A HOME AIR PURIFIER

To reduce the level of indoor pollutants, helping both allergy and asthma sufferers that are sensitive to such pollutants.  We have a choice of solutions available, including germicidal purifiers that combine filtration, germicidal UVC light and photocatalytic oxidation in a single system (you can read more about the type of systems Action Furnace can install for you here).
