Guaranteed Comfort Heating & Cooling can help you improve your indoor air quality in Amherstburg, ON. We recommend in-home air quality testing as a great first step. Through testing, you can identify the specific contaminants in your home. From there, you can explore the many options to remove those pollutants.

Enhance Your Indoor Air Quality

Often, the easiest way to improve indoor air quality is to schedule seasonal HVAC tune-ups. We recommend a heating tune-up in the fall and a cooling tune-up in the spring. Neglected HVAC equipment can contribute to and exacerbate air quality problems. We also recommend checking and replacing your HVAC filter regularly. Upgrading your HVAC filter to a premium filter that offers a higher MERV rating can make a dramatic difference in the air you breathe.

Homes with concentrated air pollution may not have enough ventilation. A solution is a mechanical ventilation system that draws fresh air into the home as needed. There are even whole-house fans you can run during the cold weather. Heat recovery ventilators make this possible by taking heat energy from exhausted air and using it to preheat incoming air.

Even with adequate ventilation, the air inside your home can’t be cleaner than the ambient air without air purification. For that, we recommend an in-duct air purifier. These systems often have a mechanical filter to remove most particulate matter. They typically have activated charcoal as well to absorb odors, gases, and chemicals. You can also pair your air purifier with a germicidal light. A UV lamp will neutralize over 99% of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

Relative humidity plays an important role in indoor air quality. Ideally, you want to keep RH somewhere between 30% and 60%. That can be difficult to achieve through heating and cooling alone. There are energy recovery ventilators that are like HRVs but which also add moisture to the air. Other options include whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers.

Improving your home’s air quality can provide many health benefits.
  • Less risk of illnesses
  • Fewer headaches and body aches
  • More restful sleep and less fatigue
  • Reduced allergy and asthma symptoms
  • Better mood and improved productivity
