Indoor Air Quality in Tucson

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has ranked indoor air pollution as a high priority public health risk. In addition, the World Health Organization and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has concluded that preventing exposure to environmental allergens and irritants may help prevent asthma and related breathing disorders. In other words, the quality of your air matters.

Modern homes and buildings are closed and well insulated. This helps the building to be energy efficient. However, less air circulation, settling of air contaminants, and continuous recirculation of the air can impact indoor air quality in Tucson.

Intelligent Design Air Conditioning and Heating can help you achieve an energy-efficient house without having to worry about indoor air quality problems.

Whole House Air Purification

There are two primary options for air filtration inside your home: electronic air cleaners and filter-based cleaners. Both air filtration systems offer high-performance removal of significant amounts of air contaminants like dust, dirt, bacteria, pollen, mold and mildew. They also continue to deliver results year after year with negligible maintenance, upkeep or effort. Electronic air cleaners are the most efficient and easy-to-use systems on the market, but many homeowners opt for more affordable but also highly efficient filtration systems. However, there really is no wrong choice if you are interested in ensuring that your indoor air is as clean as can be.

Duct Cleaning and Sealing

Have you looked inside your duct work lately? Neglected ducts can be a frightening sight, especially here in Tucson. Dirt, dust, pollen, mold, mildew, bacteria, and a whole slew of other air contaminants can line your ducts in thick deposits. Every time your heating and cooling system kicks on, these contaminants can be circulated through your entire home. Fortunately, our state-of-the-art duct cleaning technology can remove these deposits. We use only the latest, most hygienic systems available. In other words, we’ll leave you confident that the air you breathe is as clean and contaminant-free as possible.

While cut-rate duct cleaning companies promise results at low prices, the techniques they often use are suspect. For example, they may stir up dirt without removing it. Worse yet, they spray sticky substances that trap dirt in your duct work forever. However, you can count on Intelligent Design Air Conditioning and Heating for cleaning services that accomplish what you really want: clean, contaminant-free duct work at a fair price. Also, the typical Arizona home loses 30-50% of the HVAC efficiency through leaking ducts. AEROSEAL is an EPA-endorsed duct-sealing process that allows you to maximize your homes efficiency at minimal costs. This process also helps drastically to reduce dust in the home.

Whole House Humidification

We also offer whole house humidification systems to help home comfort levels. The humidification process helps relieve the discomfort associated with low humidity Tucson weather, including dry noses, throats, lips, and skin. Plus, the moisture added to dry air will also help reduce the static electricity that leads to peeling wallpaper and cracks in drywall and furniture that are so common each Tucson winter.
