Tampa Indoor Air Quality Services

Did you know that the air within your Tampa home can be up to 70 times more contaminated than the air outdoors?

According to several studies by the EPA, your home’s internal air quality (IAQ) is frequently compromised by design methods originally intended to improve energy efficiency. However, these outdated methods trap pollutants inside your home’s living spaces and degrade IAQ. Breathing this contaminated air can aggravate your allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.

Your Florida air quality is important for you and your family, so trust our experts at Ahoy! Cooling & Heating. We offer Tampa home indoor air quality services, such as advanced filtration and UV lighting solutions to eliminate both particulates and VOCs. We also provide ventilation cleaning and duct replacement, which can be crucial if you’re dealing with an inefficient ventilation system and poor IAQ.

Duct Services

According to National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), the average American home collects 40 pounds of dirt, dust, and allergens in its ventilation ducts each year. If you have a central AC ventilator or a forced-air cooling system, you have ducts that carry both warm and cool air throughout your home. These ducts are typically flexible and constructed from sturdy materials, yet they are still susceptible to damage. Ventilation cleaning can enhance the quality of your home’s internal atmosphere, but if your ductwork wasn’t quality from the jump, you might require a complete duct replacement. Find out how we can enhance your IAQ through ventilation cleaning and duct replacement.

Air Filtration

We’ve all been reminded time and time again to change our home’s air filters. However, many people often overlook this simple, yet forgettable task. Fortunately, there is another solution. We highly recommend electronic air purifiers, which are not only more effective but also easier to maintain. A regular air filter is only able to filter out 1-2% of the particulates in the air (AKA those 1 micron in size or larger), meaning that the smaller particulates are still floating around without a care in the world. Electronic air filters are built to filter out particulates .2-.3 microns in size, making them significantly more effective than your everyday air filter.

Furthermore, these purifiers are integrated into our regular servicing schedule. If you wish to learn more about our maintenance plans and why you should enlist, click here. Otherwise, be sure to ask your technician for further details about electronic air purifiers and why they outperform your traditional air filters!

UV Lights & Air Purifiers

We have already discussed how the air inside your home can be detrimental to your health. In a humid place like Tampa, particulates like mold, bacteria, and dust can build up in your air and your AC system, causing indoor air quality to suffer. UV lights can be installed inside of your air conditioner, specifically on the inside coil, which works to kill bacteria before it’s filtered throughout your home.

These lights are relatively inexpensive, and we highly recommend installing one as a preventative measure to keep your HVAC system clean. However, if you’re looking for an advanced solution to keep your indoor air clean, consider installing UV lights, like a PCO light. These lights go beyond simple UV lights by killing particulates like mold and bacteria (up to 99%) as well as VOC’s and odors (up to 99%).

They do this through a pretty scientific process involving ions that deactivate harmful single-celled contaminants in the air. We all know how pungent smoke, paint, pet odors, etc. can be. A PCO light is so effective at removing odors in your indoor air that it can take the scent right out of a candle! So stop masking gross smells with slightly better smells and invest in a true air purifier. Ask us about UV lights and air purifiers today!

Air scrubbers are a product that can help keep your indoor air quality clean and free of harmful substances, such as mold and dust.
