Mold Testing
Some types of mold release mycotoxins, which are organisms that attack the immune system. If you've been getting sick frequently or have reoccurring health problems, mold may be the culprit. Headaches, skin irritation, persistent coughing and respiratory infections are also common symptoms. Additionally, mold can trigger asthma or allergies. Since pets and children have smaller respiratory systems than adults, they are especially vulnerable to poor air conditions.
Virus Prevention
The right humidifier or UV light for your home can zap and destroy airborne viruses like influenza and coronavirus (COVID-19). They can also help ease the symptoms if you’re already sick by adding moisture to your nasal, throat, and lung passages, making it easier for air to pass through.
UV Light
UV light purifiers use ultraviolet light to kill microorganisms like mold, bacteria, viruses, and mildew so that these pollutants are not constantly circulated around your home by your HVAC system. These UV light purifiers can actually be fitted into your ductwork, allowing them to clean the air you breathe while being kept nicely out of sight. As these air purifiers improve your indoor air quality, they also eliminate unpleasant odors.
Humidification
Stale, dry air in your home makes your family more susceptible to airborne bacteria and viruses. Healthy humidity levels are shown to kill infectious disease particles in the air and are paramount to protecting your family. Plus, it will help ease the symptoms if you’re already sick by adding moisture to your nasal, throat, and lung passages, making it easier for air to pass through.
Duct Cleaning
One of the most common causes of poor indoor air quality in Aberdeen, SD is dirty ductwork. The conditioned air from your heating unit or AC unit must travel through your ducts and out the vents into your home. Over time, the ducts become filthy with all sorts of air pollutants that continuously circulate throughout your home. Our HVAC technicians will professionally clean your ductwork, eliminating the air contaminants that cause stuffiness, respiratory health issues, and allergies. Here's how Duct Cleaning works.
Duct Sealing
One of the greatest inefficiencies with conventional HVAC systems is the energy loss that occurs within the ductwork as the conditioned air travels from the unit to the vent. Leaks in the ductwork allow heated or cooled air to escape so that it never makes it to the rooms of your home. Furthermore, duct leaks in attics, crawlspaces, garages, and basements permit fumes, pests, dust, pollen, or other air pollutants to enter your home. Our heating professionals can seal leaks within the ductwork, preventing these contaminants from entering, while at the same time preventing conditioned air from escaping. With duct sealing from Climate Control, you get two huge benefits: improved efficiency AND improved air quality.
