Can my AC System Help with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?
Understanding the Relationship Between Air Conditioning Units and IAQ Your air conditioning unit does much more than just push out cool air. Air conditioning systems today, especially high-efficiency systems, help control what’s known as IAQ or “ Indoor Air Quality .” IAQ is a combination of cleanliness of the air (no dust or pollen), humidity, temperature control and odor. Why is this important? Indoor air quality can affect your health, comfort and wallet. The following tips can help keep your air clean, fresh and healthy. Change your air filters at the beginning of every heating or cooling season or every three months – even better. Filters keep out dust, pollen, spores and other airborne problems that can lead to health issues. Changing the filter is important because a dirty filter causes less airflow, which makes your system work harder and costs you more money in energy bills. A dirty filter can also cause your system to overheat or lead to other permanent damage. Check wi
