Cooking for the holidays, watching football on Saturdays and Sundays, and staying warm by the fireplace are all the classic hallmarks of Fall. These activities also have one thing in common: increased time spent indoors. When more time is spent indoors, the importance of great indoor air quality becomes even greater.
Poor indoor air quality may have already presented itself to you by giving you those pesky allergy symptoms like a runny nose, scratchy throat, or even exacerbating asthma symptoms. The easiest method to identify the underlying causes of the poor indoor air quality is to complete one of E3 Innovate’s comprehensive diagnostic assessments. By running our diagnostic tests such as blower door testing, duct blaster testing, and IAQ monitoring as well as comprehensive inspections of your attic and crawlspace, we can help you identify the issues and recommend a course of action.
Some of the recommendations you may see after the Diagnostic Assessment is completed include:
- Ventilation improvements such as bath fan replacement and installation of a fresh air ventilation system to provide adequate fresh air and to remove stale and contaminated indoor air
- Improved air purification methods such as increased filtration at the HVAC unit to improve indoor air quality
- Duct cleaning and duct sealing to reduce the amount of infiltration of attic/crawlspace air through the duct system and removing the accumulated dust and debris from infiltration
- Crawlspace/Attic encapsulation to keep out moisture and prevent microbial growth from forming
