The Indoor Air Quality Problem

Indoor Air Quality (the condition of our air) is one of those issues that has been pushed aside and minimized for far too long. The truth of the matter is your indoor air could be making you sick. Air “conditioning” is more than just heating and cooling. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are totally inadequate to provide the quality of air needed to sustain a healthy environment. 

We continue to seal up our homes in an effort to reduce energy costs but we fail to recognize that we also seal in all the pollutants at the same time. These pollutants create a toxic soup that we breathe. Recent findings show that small particles we breathe in can also contribute to a number of medical conditions. 

As a trained professional I am  ready to evaluate and assess your Indoor Air Quality problems.  Our wholistic solutions are specific to each persons unique situation so you can rest assured you are doing all you can to manage your indoor air quality risks. 

Indoor Air Quality Facts:

• Each person inhales over 3,500 gallons of air each day. Children inhale more particles for their size then adolescents or adults.
• Polluted air causes 94% of all respiratory problems
