Indoor Air Quality in New Orleans

Air Scrubbers

An air scrubber is a portable filtration system that removes particles, gasses, and chemicals from the air. These machines draw in air from the surrounding environment and pass it through multiple filters to remove any pollutants. They also use a germicidal UV light to kill any contaminants that may exist in your home. We can install air scrubbers directly into your existing HVAC system to ensure that contaminants are removed from the air while your system is running.

Air scrubbers are crucial during restoration jobs when airborne contaminants such as mold, dust, asbestos, lead, and chemical fumes may be exposed. Without an air scrubber, these hazardous particles can settle in carpet, upholstery, and furnishings, or may be drawn into the HVAC system and contaminate other parts of the building. If these contaminants are allowed to remain in the air, they can cause serious adverse health effects for you and your family. Air scrubbers can also remove naturally-occurring, less harmful particles such as human skin cells, animal hair, and dirt from your indoor air.

While you can’t see dangerous particles in the air, there are signs you can look for to see if something is wrong regarding your indoor air quality. Stay vigilant for signs including musty odors, condensations on windows, discoloration of walls or ceilings, loose drywall tape, wood warping, and peeling or chipping of paint. Another indicator of potential indoor air quality issues is your health. If you and your family members can breathe easier when you’re not home, that may suggest that your home’s air quality is not as healthy and clean as it could be.

Air Duct Cleaning

Another way to improve your indoor air quality is to regularly clean out your air ducts. 
Routine air duct cleaning is one of the most important steps to ensure that you and your family are living in the healthiest indoor environment possible. Air ducts can easily become polluted with contaminants without any signs or symptoms. Regular cleanings help your HVAC system run more efficiently and helps the equipment itself last longer. Clean air ducts save energy, which also saves you money.

The BrushBeast can remove all the build up and contaminants in your ducts to help you start benefiting from clean, healthy indoor air.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Every year, clothing dryers cause over 15,000 fires in American homes. These fires lead to deaths, injuries, and millions of dollars in property damage. Additionally, improperly set up vent systems subject several hundreds of people to carbon monoxide poisoning each year. The risk of these health and safety issues can be drastically reduced with annual or biannual dryer vent cleanings. Properly cleaned dryer vents are not only safer, but they are also more energy efficient, meaning that you can cut down on your energy costs. To ensure that your dryer can run safely and smoothly, call Calloway & Sons today to schedule a dryer vent cleaning.
