Two common causes of air quality issues in modern homes are\u00a0airborne contaminants<\/a>\u00a0and excessive humidity. At Confort Expert, we carry and install air exchangers and air purifiers, which largely eliminate indoor biological contaminants (mould, pollen, bacteria and dust mites) and chemical contaminants (carbon monoxide, ozone and dust). In this article, we discuss how these systems improve indoor air quality and safeguard the health of you and your family.<\/p>\n

Air exchangers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Modern buildings are designed to be airtight. While this increases their energy efficiency, it also creates a highly contained breeding ground for moisture and contaminants. These conditions are particularly harmful to children, pregnant women, seniors and individuals with heart and\/or respiratory diseases. This is one of the reasons why\u00a0air exchangers<\/a>\u00a0are now mandatory in new buildings. This device\u2019s heat recovery unit performs two essential functions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It sucks up and expels stale indoor air.<\/li>\n
  2. It brings in fresh air from outside. This air can be heated by indirect contact<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Turn to Confort Expert for a quality air exchanger such as an energy recovery ventilator system. These efficient ventilation systems are quick and simple to install, easy to maintain, energy efficient and silent.<\/p>\n

    Air purifiers<\/strong><\/p>\n

    While air exchangers expel stale air,\u00a0air purifiers<\/a>\u00a0improve a building\u2019s overall air quality. The Lennox Healthy Climate family of air filters, available at Confort Expert, attach to your air circulation system for heating or air conditioning. In addition to a high-efficiency air filter, these systems have UVA lamps that deliver the same purifying effects as the sun\u2019s rays. These components allow air purifiers to remove 85% to 95% of all air contaminants.<\/p>\n

    Here are a few signs that you need a good-quality air exchanger and\/or air purifier:<\/p>\n
