Indoor comfort control is more than just temperature control - it means creating a healthy home environment by purifying and refreshing your indoor air. Did you know that the EPA considers indoor air quality a major health concern? This is partially due to the fact that modern homes are sealed tightly for better energy efficiency. However this means indoor air becomes stale while things like mold spores, viruses, pet dander, bacteria and toxins remain trapped inside, recycling through your HVAC system.
The good news for our Decatur area customers is that American Energy Heating & Air provides products which integrate into your HVAC system, and work together to clean, purify and humidify your indoor air! Read more below:
Air Cleaner
Air Cleaner Air cleaners effectively remove microscopic particles from your indoor air. They trap things like dust, pollens, pet dander, mold spores, fungi, bacteria and tobacco smoke making your indoor air significantly cleaner and less contaminated. An air cleaner is given a MERV rating to rate the effectiveness of the unit. MERV ratings go from 1-16, with 16 as the highest rating possible. Advanced air cleaners do more than just filter air, they capture and kill airborne pollutants such as bacteria, viruses and mold, purifying the air your family breathes!
Ventilator
Ventilator Ventilators are an important part of indoor air quality solutions because they replace stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. The beauty of a ventilator is that it makes this air exchange while recovering the energy used to heat or cool the air. It is almost like opening a window in the winter time without losing any heat - the best of both worlds. Efficient and innovative Energy Recovery Ventilators bring fresh air into your home throughout the longer cooling season, while Heat Recovery Ventilators keep your air warm and fresh during longer heating seasons - forcing stale air and pollutants out of your home.
