Control Indoor Pollution with a Whole-Home Ventilation System in Clearwater

Today’s homes are more energy efficient, which is good news for your utility expenses. But that efficiency also seals your home, which is bad news for indoor air quality.

We spend most of our lives indoors—up to 90 percent, according to an EPA study. And having an airtight home means chemicals can build up. The EPA says this can lead to your home’s air quality being two to five times worse than outdoor air.

With a whole-home ventilation system from Midway Services, you can expel stale, dirty air from your home. Then, the system trades the stuffy air with fresh air from outdoors. Some systems can help your home retain heat and moisture in the winter and get rid of more of it in the summer.

Why Home Ventilation is Important

Having poor indoor air quality can make you feel bad or aggravate chronic conditions like allergies or asthma.

There are several pollution sources that affect the air your family breathes.

1. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are found in everyday household products, like furniture, flooring, paint and cleaning products. High concentration can result in respiratory irritation and headaches.
2. Dust, mold and pet dander. These are the most common indoor pollution sources. They can aggravate allergies and asthma.
3. Carbon monoxide. This colorless, odorless, tasteless gas is made by incomplete combustion in a natural gas appliance. CO poisoning causes flu-like symptoms and can be fatal.

How Whole-Home Ventilation Works

House ventilation systems can get rid of pollution from the air in your living space.

Balanced ventilation uses exhaust fans to introduce fresh air into the house—and push out stale air.

Plus, some systems from Midway Services make the most of energy efficiency. This provides fresh airflow without excessive energy expenditure.
