Want the Best Air Quality for Your Indoor Living? Carolina Comfort Can Make that Happen

One should never take clean air for granted. Maintaining an optimal indoor air quality is essential for a healthy and comfortable home. In today’s climate, it’s even more important to rely on air handling systems. Homes and businesses need systems to filter, scrub, or sanitize the air that you breathe. According to the American Lung Association, Americans spend 90% of our time indoors. In addition, the EPA states that the indoor air that you breathe may be 5x more polluted than outside. This is why Carolina Comfort is trained to assess and address common air quality issues. For example, these issues are typically allergens, humidity, airborne pathogens, and harmful gases. Carolina Comfort can implement ventilation and filtering solutions that will improve the quality of air in your home or place of business.

Does Winter Have Your Skin Feeling a Bit Dry? Call Carolina Comfort

Yes, while summer owns humidity here in the Carolinas, winter is the queen of dry air—and scaly skin. Here in the western North Carolina, we’re talking nosebleed and cracked hands dry from Hickory all the way up to Boone!

While dealing with high humidity has its issues, low humidity also has drawbacks too. Especially here in the winter, and even more so if you have natural gas or an oil heat source. Whole home humidifiers can keep the perfect balance in the winter. Too little humidity can make your home extremely dry. Therefore, this can crack wood features, furniture, create electric static and take a toll on your health as well. Dry eyes, chapped lips, respiratory infections, like asthma, all have a more difficult time in dry seasons. In addition, a person with chronic bronchitis or COPD can have an extremely difficult time just breathing with increased irritation to a person’s airways.

Take Control of Your Moisture Issues

Carolina Comfort can help control your humidity regardless of if your home is too dry or is holding too much moisture. Whole home humidifiers and dehumidifiers are available from Carolina Comfort. Plus, there is no messy upkeep of dumping water or filling a pan back up with water. Finally, a whole home humidity system can help keep your residence or business at the perfect humidity levels between 30 and 60% range.

When it comes to neutralizing bacteria, mold spores, and getting rid of respiratory irritants and allergens, a UV filtration system is the way to go. Carolina Comfort can install and maintain a UV light filtration system made specifically for your HVAC system. Plus, a UV light filtration system can help control odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Plus, given that it’s a UV filtration system, it’s a chemical-free way to help rid your home of unwanted bacteria, mold, and allergens.

Take a Deep Breath in with a Fresh Air Ventilation System from Carolina Comfort

The “V” in HVAC stands for ventilation, but it’s rarely discussed. It’s unfortunate, because ventilation systems are taking on a bigger role as today’s homes are built with tighter standards. Newer homes are extremely efficient, but don’t often allow for breathability of fresh air and can build up moisture.

Carolina Comfort Services Heating and Air provides and installs an array of fresh air ventilation systems for both residential and commercial projects. Given that there are several different types of HVAC ventilators, we recommend that you have one of our comfort specialists consult with you and do a site visit to determine the best product for your specific residence or place of business.

These systems bring a large health benefit by introducing fresh outside air into your home and remove old stale to the outdoors. Think about this in terms of how a heat exchanger works. Therefore, fresh air comes in, and older air is forced out.

However, there are several different types of HVAC ventilators—and all of them have various benefits:

Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) are used year-round for efficiency. These systems recover heat energy and remove moisture from incoming air. As the system performs this function, it reduces the humidity level throughout your home.

When talking about ventilation systems, most people think about fresh air ventilation systems. These systems are focused on bringing fresh air into your home in a very controlled process. Most fresh air ventilation systems have sensors and can shut off automatically during our high humidity summers here in North Carolina.

The way a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) works is by capturing the outgoing air and removing the heat from it. Once fresh air comes back into the home, this air is transferred to that air. This reduces energy consumption and maintains a comfortable indoor temperature year-round. This is perfect for homes located within the western North Carolina mountain areas. Plus, these systems also remove excess humidity from your home too. So, if you live in Boone, Blowing Rock, Elkin, Lenior, Sparta, or Wilkesboro you may want to talk to Carolina Comfort. The combination of the cold winters and humidity in the summer put these heat recovery ventilators as a really good choice in these areas.

Filter Out What You Can’t See and Put Allergens at Bay with a Whole Home Air Purifier System

Whole home filtration systems are designed to filter out dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and select viruses and odors throughout your entire home. In addition, homeowners who have severe allergies or even asthma, an entire whole home filtration system can help put symptoms at ease.

In addition, Carolina Comfort can install an entire home air purification system that can capture and kill certain viruses like the Coronavirus, common cold surrogate, bacteria that causes strep throat, and even human influenza viruses. Once a particle is captured, the air purification system creates an electrical charged ion. For example, when ionized particles become trapped in a MERV 15 rated filter that’s where they remain. The performance specifications enable capturing of 95% particles down to 1.0 to 3.0 microns and inactivates up to 99% of select viruses.

If you have additional questions on the whole home filtration system, feel free to contact Carolina Comfort and speak with a specialist.
