What Is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality refers to the condition of the air inside the spaces where we live, work, or spend time. It plays a significant role in our health, comfort, and overall well-being.

According to the Government of Canada*, pollutants and contaminants found in indoor air can contribute to a range of health concerns. Common sources include allergens such as dust and cigarette smoke, as well as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)—gases released from everyday household products like paints, cleaning supplies, and aerosols.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Before calling for service, here are a few simple things you can check:

  • Health & Safety - oor indoor air quality can aggravate asthma, allergies, and other respiratory conditions.
  • Comfort - Stale, stuffy, or humid air can make living spaces uncomfortable.
  • Productivity & Rest - Cleaner indoor air helps improve focus, sleep quality, and overall energy levels.
  • Long-Term Well-being - Reducing exposure to harmful substances helps protect your family’s health over time.

Common Factors That Affect Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air can contain a mix of contaminants and allergens that reduce the quality of the air we breathe:

  • Dust and Dust Mites – Tiny particles that often accumulate in carpets, bedding, and furniture.
  • Cigarette Smoke – Contains harmful chemicals that linger indoors long after smoking stops.
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Gases released from paints, cleaning products, and aerosols.
  • Mold, Fungi, and Bacteria – Thrive in damp areas and can circulate through the air.
  • Pollen and Spores – Seasonal allergens that easily make their way indoors.
  • Pet Dander – Microscopic skin flakes from cats, dogs, and other animals.

How to Improve Indoor Air Quality

Improving the air you breathe at home or work often requires a combination of solutions:

  • Regular HVAC Maintenance – Cleaning ducts, changing filters, and servicing your system.
  • Air Purifiers & Filters – Capture fine particles like dust, pollen, and VOCs.
  • Humidity Control – Using humidifiers or dehumidifiers to maintain balanced air moisture.
  • Proper Ventilation – Ensuring fresh air circulation while minimizing pollutants indoors.
  • Mold Prevention – Addressing leaks, dampness, and poorly ventilated areas quickly.
