Check symptoms to identify potential IAQ issues in your home:
Professional IAQ assessment and solutions from certified HVAC contractors throughout Florida.
Yes, poor IAQ significantly impacts health. The EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top 5 environmental health risks. Common effects include respiratory infections, allergy symptoms, asthma attacks, headaches, fatigue, and long-term issues like heart disease and cancer. In Florida's humid climate, mold-related illnesses are particularly common. Improving IAQ can reduce sick days by 20-50% and significantly improve quality of life.
Signs of mold include: musty odors (especially in closed spaces), visible growth (black, green, or white spots), water stains or discoloration, allergic reactions when at home, and humidity consistently above 60%. Florida homes are especially susceptible due to high humidity, frequent rain, and AC condensation issues. Professional mold testing can identify hidden growth and spore counts. Address mold immediately as it spreads quickly in Florida's climate.
For Florida homes, use MERV 8-11 filters as the best balance between filtration and airflow. MERV 8 captures pollen, dust mites, and mold spores. MERV 11 adds pet dander and smaller particles. Higher ratings (MERV 13+) may restrict airflow in residential systems, causing AC strain and humidity issues. Change filters monthly during summer when AC runs constantly. Consider HEPA air purifiers for additional filtration in bedrooms and living areas.
Absolutely. Whole-house dehumidifiers are highly recommended for Florida homes. They maintain optimal 40-50% humidity independent of AC operation, preventing mold growth, reducing allergens, and improving comfort. Benefits include: 20-30% reduction in cooling costs, prevention of wood damage and rot, elimination of musty odors, and better AC efficiency. The $1,500-3,000 investment typically pays for itself in 2-3 years through energy savings and prevented damage.
In Florida, duct cleaning every 3-5 years is recommended, or more frequently if you have: pets, allergies, recent renovations, visible mold, or pest infestations. Florida's humidity can cause mold growth in ductwork, especially if there are leaks or poor insulation. Professional cleaning removes accumulated dust, allergens, and potential mold. Always use NADCA-certified contractors who follow proper procedures including negative pressure and HEPA filtration.
Regular maintenance improves both cooling efficiency and indoor air quality.
