Indoor Air Quality in Westport, MA

ERVs & Electronic Air Cleaners

Improve Your Home's Air Quality with Our Advanced Solutions

Electronic air cleaners or ionizers use electrically charged filters to remove airborne contaminants. As air passes through your HVAC system, a prefilter traps large particles such as dust, debris, and dander. Then the secondary, electrically charged filter traps smaller particles, including bacteria, mold, and mildew. These systems have easy maintenance because the filter is reusable and only needs to be washed every few months. This is a highly effective option if you suffer from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory illness symptoms in your home.

Energy Recovery Ventilators: Optimal Humidity for Comfort & Savings

Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) manage the relative humidity levels indoors to increase comfort. Excessive humidity creates the perfect space for mold and mildew to grow, asthma flare-ups, and dust mites. In comparison, insufficient humidity causes dry skin, unpleasant odors, and increased allergy symptoms. By controlling humidity levels, your HVAC unit can work less, so you save money on monthly costs. ERVs require annual maintenance like your HVAC units for a long-term solution to your humidity issues.

Electronic air cleaners, ERVs, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers are great ways to improve indoor air quality, but there are a few DIY steps you can also take. Use allergen-proof mattress covers to discourage dust mite activity and promote the airflow by running a fan after showering or while cooking. Consistently dust your ceiling fans, electronics, and blinds to reduce the amount of dust that continues to recirculate throughout your home.
