Feels like Home
When indoor air quality (IAQ) is out of balance, home can feel different from day to day. Humidity, ventilation and air particle conditions can affect health benefits and home comfort. You can help implement solutions to help your customers live more comfortably.
What's Really in the Air?
Six factors that affect indoor air quality
Carbon Dioxide
High CO2 levels signal a ventilation concern
Particles
Excessive airborne particles can shorten certain appliance lifespans
Odors & Smells
Prolonged exposure to chemical odors impact comfort
Relative Humidity
Too much or too little water in the air can lead to mold growth, dry skin and more
Temperature
HVAC responses can indicate system issues
Carbon Monoxide
The “silent killer,” too much CO can be a safety issue
