According to the EPA, levels of air pollution inside the home can be 2-5x more polluted than outside. Harmful particulate like pollen, pet dander, mold and mildew can accumulate in your ducts and trigger health effects. CTC's Comfort Advisor can determine whether a duct cleaning will be beneficial for improving indoor air quality.
Should I Worry About the Air in My Home?
Did you know we spend about 90% of our time indoors? According to the EPA, pollution levels are often 2-5 times
higher
indoors than outdoors.
With that being said, the air we breathe inside our homes can severely impact our wellbeing, especially young children, the elderly, and those susceptible to respiratory illness.
Pollutants such as smoke byproducts, pet dander, mold, pesticides, pollen, and other allergens that accumulate in the home can trigger health effects, including:
- Asthma and allergy symptoms.
- Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.
- Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
- Respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer.
How Can I Improve My Indoor Air Quality?
CTC offers a variety of indoor air quality products and services that help remove pollutants from the air in your home, ranging from a whole-home duct cleaning, to air purification and filtration systems. We can help you find an option to best suit your needs and budget.
Ultravation ProgressiveMedia Filters
Ultravation's ProgressiveMedia filters are a highly practical and long-lasting solution for your home's filtration. The pleated, layered design has nine times more surface area than a traditional 30-day filter. Because of its high capacity, the ProgressiveMedia filter only needs changed once every six months (or even once a year!).
TRANE® CleanEffects
Trane CleanEffects is a patented whole-house air filtration system that's designed to remove up to 99.98% of allergens from filtered air. CleanEffects is up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1" filter, removing particles as small as 0.1 microns in size and reducing the dust in your home by up to 50%.
Ultravation UVPhotoMAX GI
The UVPhotoMAX GI is a whole home purification system that eradicates germs, allergens, odors, and chemical pollution. This system combines a UV light and an ion generator, which both work to freshen your home's air by inactivating bacteria and captuing micro- and nano-particles in filtration.
Ultravation Orion
The Orion Bi-Polar Air Ionizer captures nano- and micro-particulates that filters are unable to capture. Generated ions statically charge particulate, causing them to attract to one another and combine. These combined particles either become so heavy they fall out of the air, or they become large enough to be captured by a filter. The generated ions also work to reduce bad odors and viruses/bacteria by disrupting molecules.
Ultravation UltraMAX EZUV
The UltraMAX EZUV is a germicidal light that prevents HVAC bio-growth and reduces airborne pathogens. Ultraviolet light (UV) stops fungus and bacteria laden sludge that clogs HVAC coils, drain lines, and drain pans.
