Indoor Air Quality

IAQ INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Breathe easy and thrive: the air inside your home is just as vital as the air outside, so make indoor air quality a priority for a healthier, happier life!

We spend a staggering 90% of our lives indoors, making indoor air quality critically important to our health. What’s alarming is that indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the EPA. This means the air we breathe inside our homes, schools, and offices can be saturated with pollutants like dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and VOCs from everyday products. These pollutants can trigger a range of issues from allergy and asthma flare-ups to headaches and respiratory problems, and even contribute to long-term health concerns. Maintaining good indoor air quality through ventilation, air purifiers, and regular cleaning is not just about comfort, it’s a necessity for protecting our health and well-being.

How Humidity Impacts Your Health and Home

In order to optimize your indoor air quality you must address multiple issues in you home. Let’s start by discussing humidity levels. The optimum humidity level for a healthy environment is between 40 and 60 percent. Too high a humidity leads to increased viruses and bacteria, fungi, mites and a risk of mold growth. It can also be damaging to wooden furniture, floors and structures. Too low a humidity level can also lead to higher bacteria and virus spread and an increase in respiratory infections as well as cause wood furniture and floors to dry out and shrink, causing gaps and other damage. The chart below shows a study that demonstrates the optimal humidity levels for a healthy environment. In order to reach this zone your HVAC system should be sized properly so that it runs often enough in summer to remove excess humidity, especially in our area where we see extreme humidity levels throughout the summer. An even better way to tackle high humidity is with an air conditioner that is capable of drying the air such as a Daikin FIT or VRV or Mini/Multi-split with dry modes.

Cold air holds less humidity so in winter you will find the humidity level lower than preferred, often causing dray cracked skin and lips and an increased spread of illnesses such as the flu. In order to address this it is important to put humidity back in the air with a humidifier. This can be done with a few tabletop type humidifiers but is best addressed with a whole house humidifier. At Mechollage we offer many different models. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like to know more about how humidity can effect your health and home.

The Importance of Air Filtration

Air filtration is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment, particularly in homes where people spend a significant amount of time. The air we breathe indoors can contain a variety of pollutants, including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems, especially in sensitive individuals. Air filters play a vital role in capturing these harmful particles and improving air quality.

The effectiveness of an air filter is determined by its Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating, which measures its ability to remove particles of different sizes. A higher MERV rating indicates a more efficient filter, capable of capturing smaller particles. For instance, a MERV 13 filter can trap particles as small as 0.3 microns, including bacteria and viruses, while a MERV 8 filter will only capture larger particles, such as dust and pollen. Selecting the appropriate MERV rating for your home depends on your specific needs and the level of air pollution you face. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like us to further discuss how important filtration is in your home.

Disinfecting the Air in Your Home Today is Easier than Ever

Bipolar ionization works by releasing both positively and negatively charged ions into the air. These ions collide with airborne particles like viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and allergens, disrupting their structure and making them less harmful.

Disinfection: The ions’ charge disrupts the cell walls of pathogens, making them unable to reproduce or spread. This effectively disinfects the air and reduces the risk of infection.
Mold Control: Bipolar ionization can also effectively control mold growth by inhibiting the spores from germinating. This helps to prevent mold from spreading and reduces the risk of health issues associated with mold exposure.
Allergen Reduction: The ions can also bind to allergens like pollen and pet dander, making them less likely to trigger allergic reactions. This can improve indoor air quality for people with allergies and sensitivities.

While bipolar ionization can be a valuable tool for improving indoor air quality, it’s important to note that it’s not a replacement for regular cleaning and proper ventilation. It’s also essential to consult with a qualified professional to determine if bipolar ionization is the right solution for your specific needs. To learn more go to our blog and read this article I have written about the benefits of installing a CI-2 Bipolar Ionizer.

The Synergistic Effect: Why Combining Air Purification Methods is Essential

Indoor air quality is often overlooked, but it significantly impacts our health and well-being. While a single method might address a specific issue, combining multiple approaches creates a comprehensive strategy for optimal indoor air quality. For example, filtration removes airborne particles, while humidification or dehumidification regulates moisture levels, preventing mold growth and respiratory issues. Disinfection targets and eliminates harmful microorganisms, ensuring a healthier environment. This multi-pronged approach ensures a synergistic effect, creating a clean, comfortable, and safe atmosphere for everyone.

By utilizing a combination of air purification methods, we address a broader spectrum of potential contaminants and environmental challenges. This proactive approach minimizes the risks associated with poor indoor air quality, such as allergies, asthma, respiratory infections, and overall health decline. Implementing multiple methods ensures a holistic and effective strategy for creating a healthier indoor environment, fostering a better quality of life for everyone.

Humidifiers

Whole house humidification is essential for maintaining optimal indoor air quality, particularly during dry seasons. Proper humidity levels can prevent respiratory issues, alleviate allergy symptoms, and enhance overall comfort by keeping your skin and mucous membranes hydrated, leading to improved health and well-being. It also helps protect wood furnishings from damage caused by dry air.

Filtration

Whole-house MERV filtration is crucial for healthy indoor air quality. By trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles, it creates a cleaner and healthier living environment, especially beneficial for allergy and asthma sufferers.

Dehumidification

Whole house dehumidification can significantly improve indoor air quality by reducing excess moisture, which can lead to mold growth and dust mites, both of which can trigger allergies and respiratory problems. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, you create a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

UV Lights

UV light disinfection in HVAC systems offers several key benefits. It helps to reduce airborne pathogens and allergens, leading to improved indoor air quality and a healthier living environment. By eliminating mold, bacteria, and viruses that can thrive in the cooling coils and ductwork, UV light can enhance the overall efficiency of the HVAC system, potentially lowering energy costs. Additionally, regular UV disinfection can extend the lifespan of the equipment by preventing build-up and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Overall, incorporating UV light disinfection can create a cleaner, more efficient, and safer HVAC system.

Ionizers

Bipolar ionization is an innovative technology used in HVAC systems that offers several benefits. It improves indoor air quality by generating positive and negative ions that help to neutralize airborne pathogens, allergens, and particulates, creating a healthier environment. Additionally, bipolar ionization can reduce odors and harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to a fresher, more pleasant atmosphere. This technology can also enhance energy efficiency by promoting cleaner coils and airflow, potentially lowering utility costs over time. Overall, incorporating bipolar ionization into an HVAC system can significantly enhance the comfort and health of indoor spaces.

Fresh Air Ventilation

Fresh air ventilation in HVAC systems provides several key benefits. First, it helps improve indoor air quality by reducing the concentration of indoor pollutants, allergens, and odors. By bringing in outdoor air, it can also help regulate humidity levels, which is essential for comfort and preventing mold growth. Additionally, fresh air ventilation can enhance occupant well-being and productivity by ensuring a constant supply of clean air, creating a healthier indoor environment. Overall, integrating fresh air ventilation into HVAC systems is crucial for promoting a sustainable and comfortable living or working space.

Earl Chappell

Mechollage has experienced professionals from the evaluation and estimate stage to installation to after-installation response. The installation represented an attic installation for the air handler unit in an attic with truss rafter construction in a house of about 40 years of age. This required a new attic access, which was completed in an appropriate hall area. The installation of the complete unit required almost one day. The team was thorough in their work, cleaned up, and left everthing in working order. Some days later, it was determined that there may be an issue with the unit. Within minutes, it was determined that an original return line had collapsed. At no additional cost, this line was replaced. It has been a few weeks since everything was completed. So far, everything is working properly, and the house is able to maintain the set temperature even during some very hot and humid spells. The outside unit is almost silent in its operation.

Response from the owner: Thank you for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Mechollage. Our team is dedicated to ensuring a seamless process from evaluation and estimate to installation and after-installation support. We're glad we could address the attic access and return line issues promptly and at no additional cost. It's wonderful to know your HVAC system is performing well, keeping your home comfortable during the hot and humid spells. If you need anything else, we're always here to help!

Lady Lady

I am so impressed with this company for their workmanship, ethics, professionalism, and respect. I am a widow and am used to getting ripped off by contractors but in all my 68 years I have never seen a company go out of their way to make sure I was happy. My 1970 HVAC went out right before Christmas and I was in the hospital They installed my new HVAC unit within a day and it looked like all hands on deck. There were a few hiccups and they really worked hard to take care of me. When Todd came out and resolved the issue, I didn’t realize that he was the owner of the company until later. How often does the owner of a company come out and assess the situation and make it right? I am so pleased with this company that they also do my electrical work. They are prompt, reasonable, and send you a text of who’s coming and a picture and Bio so I feel safe. THANK YOU MECHOLLAGE!!!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are incredibly grateful for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. Ensuring our customers are happy and well-taken care of is our top priority, and we’re glad to hear that Todd and the team could provide you with the service you deserved, especially during such a challenging time.It’s our mission to deliver exceptional workmanship, professionalism, and respect to all our customers.

I typically have a “go-to” HVAC company but, due to the demand this week they were busy. I called twenty different companies before I contacted Mechollage and they all had zero availability. Mechollage listened to my concerns and made it a priority to get to my property within an hour. They were professional, communicative and above all the best HVAC company I have used. They will now be my “go-to”!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for this awesome review! We love to hear that we are now your go-to HVAC and electrical company!

Jacob Birkett

We had Mechollage come out to tune our daikon minisplit, since we weren’t sure of its condition. For the last 2.5 years we’ve lived here, we thought it only cooled even after we had two other hvac contractors look at our main system. Lisa came out and showed us the reversing valve in the outdoor unit and said it should provide heat. After she called the office, Rick (owner) came out to the house with a replacement remote that had the ability to switch between modes. Very positive helpful people and a company that I will recommend to others.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Lisa and Todd Ricks. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to serve you. If you ever need assistance again in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Take care!

Kellie Z

I called Mechollage when some microbial activity was found in our hvac system. They inspected, found some tears and gaps where air from the crawl space was entering the system. The Mechollage techs repaired the tears and gaps, and placed a permanent ionization cleaning system on our hvac unit. The musty smells and allergy symptoms have subsided and we have been very happy with the results. We also use Mechollage to maintain our geothermal hvac system. It has been almost two months now since the ionizer was installed and we are all much healthier, thanks to Mechollage.- Their pricing is very reasonable and their techs are all very respectful, polite, approachable and great communicators. They all smile, a lot. You know, honest, grounded, happy people. Very unusual. They call or text when they are on their way. The owner even came out, inspected the install and talked to us. The owner of a different, but well known HVAC company in the area told me that we would never get rid of the musty smell in our old house. He was wrong! I wish I had called mechollage sooner! Thanks Mechollage🥰

Response from the owner: Hi Kellie!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful review. We honestly care about our customers and do our best to provide superior service. It warms my heart to know we were able to solve your problems. We look forward to providing you years of happy service. We wish all the best to you and your family. Sincerely, Todd Ricks
