Improve the Quality of the Air You Breathe at Home

Your home comfort system impacts the quality of the air that you breathe. With that being said, Avalos Heating and Air, LLC offers indoor air quality solutions and whole house humidifiers that are designed with your health and comfort in mind.

Home Air Filtration

Is Your Air Filtration System Protecting Your Family?

Try this simple indoor air quality test in your home: open the curtains when the sun is shining bright. Is the air clear or do you see numerous specks of dust floating about?

All air conditioning and heating systems come with air filtration devices installed, but most fall far short of really cleaning the air. Even the best High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) air filters will only stop about 90% of suspended solids.

What is in Your Home’s Air?

The Environmental Protection Agency says that air inside your home can be up to five times less healthy than outside air. Consider these statistics:

]

The average home generates more than 40 pounds of dust on an annual basis.

]

Up to 72 trillion allergens find their way into your home every day.

]

About 45% of homes in the United States have one or more people with allergies or asthma.

]

Children are especially sensitive to airborne allergens due to the fact they inhale 50% more air per pound of body weight than adults.

]

Tobacco smoke has more than 4,000 chemical compounds in it, many of which are strong irritants.

If your HVAC system does not have effective air filtration, it makes the contamination worse by circulating suspended particulates instead of removing them.

Whole House Humidifiers

Control the Humidity of Your Entire Home

The relative humidity in a home with forced air gas heat on a cold day can be 10% or under. Considering the average relative humidity reading in the Texas Panhandle is about 25% that means your home has the potential to be a desert-like environment—unless you have a whole house humidifier.

When the heat in your home is turned up, the air dries out fast which can cause a variety of health-related concerns. Your throat can dry out and become sore. Mucous membranes can crack, allowing any germs to have a straight shot into your bloodstream.

Apart from the physical, health related drawbacks of dry air, it can also cause hardwood floors to start creaking, and wooden furniture to become loose and wobbly. To make matters worse, the cost of heating your home to a more comfortable temperature can take a toll on your pocketbook. Plus, homes tend to feel cooler than what the thermostat indicates.

When the air inside your home is too dry, the following problems abound:



Static electricity



Sore, dry throats



Damage to musical instruments (pianos, guitars, violins)



Dry skin



Peeling wallpaper



Cracks forming in wood furniture, floors, cabinets, and paint

Avoiding these potential issues is no problem with a whole house humidifier.

A Whole House Humidifier Can Help Relieve Common Environmental Comfort Issues

Although all HVAC systems have an air filtration system, they do not address humidity in the air. For that, you need a whole house humidifier. Let our Amarillo HVAC company set you up with the right product! Contact us today for a FREE estimate.

Indoor Air Quality FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Indoor Air Quality Services

What are the symptoms of poor indoor air quality?

Common symptoms of poor indoor air quality include frequent headaches, fatigue, irritated eyes, nose, or throat, increased allergy or asthma flare‑ups, and a musty or stale smell in parts of your home. You might also notice more dust than usual, lingering odors, or visible mold growth, all of which are signs it may be time to have your indoor air evaluated.

How can I check the air quality in my house?

You can check the air quality in your house by looking for visible issues, using indoor air quality monitors, and having a professional inspection. An HVAC technician can measure factors like particulate levels, humidity, and airflow, and then recommend solutions such as better filtration, air purifiers, duct cleaning, or humidity control to improve your home’s air.

How do you fix poor indoor air quality?

Fixing poor indoor air quality usually involves improving filtration, addressing humidity, and removing sources of pollutants. This can include installing higher‑quality filters or air purification equipment, sealing and cleaning ductwork, using dehumidifiers or humidifiers as needed, and dealing with moisture problems or other issues that contribute to dust, allergens, and odors.

What are signs you need an air purifier?

Signs you may need an air purifier include persistent dust, lingering odors, frequent allergy or asthma symptoms indoors, and noticeable pet dander or smoke. If you find that symptoms improve when you leave home but return when you come back inside, an air purifier may help reduce airborne particles and improve your comfort.

What is the downside of a whole-house humidifier?

The main downside of a whole‑house humidifier is that if it is not installed, set, or maintained properly, it can introduce too much moisture into your home. Excess humidity can contribute to condensation, mold growth, and damage to wood surfaces, which is why professional installation, correct humidity settings, and regular maintenance are important.

How much does it cost to install a whole-house humidifier?

The cost to install a whole‑house humidifier depends on the type of system, your existing HVAC equipment, and how much modification is needed to integrate it. A professional estimate will factor in the unit, installation labor, and any additional parts, and your technician can walk you through options so you can choose a solution that fits your comfort needs and budget.

Can you add a humidifier to an existing HVAC system?

Yes, in many homes a whole‑house humidifier can be added to an existing HVAC system. A technician will evaluate your current equipment, ductwork, and available space to determine the right type of humidifier and the best way to integrate it so it operates safely and effectively with your heating system.
