Indoor air quality is a very important factor to analyze when replacing your air conditioning system. Air particles and humidity are extremely detrimental to the air quality in your home. Unfortunately for us, Florida is one of the most humid states in the country. In addition, the air inside your home can be 20 times more polluted than the air outside.
Studies have shown that dust mites are the cause of most allergies and the common cold. How do you get rid of dust mites? Dust mites live off moisture (humidity) in the air. If the humidity in the home is less than 55%, dust mites dry out and die. Higher humidity levels, those above 55%, allow dust mites to thrive and reproduce astounding numbers. Lower humidity in your home can help eliminate a dust problem.
Here at BERTIE, we will help design the perfect system for controlling humidity and indoor air quality in your home. We also offer Aprilaire Whole-house air filters that capture 98% of air particles down to 1 micron (2 million particles that size can fit on the period at the end of this sentence). The Aprilaire filter only has to be changed once a year. A standard 1 inch filter is changed every month and only taps 1% of airborne particles. An Aprilaire filter will keep both your home and air conditioner clean and free of airborne particles.
