Bernard Heating & Cooling is the premier provider of indoor air quality solutions, including humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and air cleaners in Streetsboro, OH. It’s our mission to help homeowners like you maintain a healthy, comfortable indoor environment at home. All of that starts by ensuring that the air you breathe at home is fresh, clean, and at the proper humidity level. To make that happen, we’ll check to see if your HVAC system effectively controls your indoor humidity. If it isn’t, we’ll recommend a solution. Then, we’ll determine what pollutants, if any, are in your home’s air. That will allow us to recommend an air purifier if one’s necessary. Then, when we leave your home, you’ll be breathing easy!
"Just had my water heater fixed. They were quick, didn't cut corners and very polite. I would recommend them to anyone needing repairs or replacements."
If the air in your home is too dry, everyone in it will suffer. In addition, dry air can cause or exacerbate various health conditions and make your home uncomfortable for all who enter it. The ideal indoor humidity range year-round is between 30% and 50%. However, when you turn on the heat for the winter, the moisture in your home might fall well below that range.
When your home’s indoor humidity drops too low, you’ll notice a variety of adverse effects, including:
Dry, itchy skin
Dry eyes
Sore throats
Increased static electricity
Creaky floors
A humidifier can bring your home’s humidity level back to where it should be and keep it there.
Residential Dehumidifiers in Streetsboro
Of course, not every Streetsboro home suffers from dry air. Some have the opposite problem, especially in the summer. If you notice that your home suffers from high indoor humidity levels, you’ll first see that your air conditioner can’t seem to keep your home as cool as you like it. That’s because humid air traps heat close to your body, making you feel warm, even if the air temperature’s where you want it to be.
High indoor humidity will result in some obvious symptoms, like:
Moisture accumulating on windows
Mold and mildew growth
Rising cooling costs
Respiratory issues
Damage to wood surfaces and walls
If your home suffers from high indoor humidity, a whole-house dehumidifier will help. It will augment your HVAC system’s ability to remove moisture from the air and keep your home’s humidity level within the acceptable range. That will prevent the abovementioned effects and improve your home’s overall comfort.
High Performance Air Purifiers
The final component of your home’s indoor air quality is any particulate matter or VOCs that circulate within it. If we test your indoor air and discover an unhealthy level of pollutants in it, we’d then recommend that you install an air purifier to correct the situation. There are also multiple air purifiers suited for indoor air quality problems. For example, a HEPA air purifier would help remove most pollutants, but a unit with active carbon filtering would help you with stale air or unpleasant odors.
Air purifiers can remove a variety of contaminants from your home’s air, such as
Dust
Pet dander
Mold
Smoke
VOCs
If you choose and install the right air purifier for your home, you’ll breathe healthier air immediately. So, if you’re interested in humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air purifiers, or other indoor air quality services for your Streetsboro home, contact Bernard Heating & Cooling today!
