Indoor Air Quality
The health of your home matters to us. Learn about IAQ products from Korte Does It All.
If you're a home owner, indoor air quality is probably something you've heard mentioned by contractors or friends who are also homeowners. You may have even wondered if it is just a buzz word, or a fad to squeeze more money out of consumer wallets! As your trusted local Fort Wayne AC contractor, we're telling you it is actually something you should pay attention to.
Modern residential homes are built to be energy efficient, but this in turn can trap pollutants in your home. Your HVAC system cycles the same air through the entire house when heating or cooling, and the contaminants go with it. What contaminants are we talking about? Toxins from paint, cleaners, and other finishing products. Pet dander. Viruses. Mold. Dust. There are more, but you get the idea. The good news is that indoor air quality (IAQ) products exist to clean and refresh your air without costing you in efficiency.
The important thing to understand about IAQ products is that they are not mutually exclusive. A UV lamp has a distinct purpose, and cannot perform the job of a ventilator, or an advanced air cleaner. Read about the products below, or call Korte Does It All today at (800) 777-2427 for more information.

1. Advanced Air Cleaner
When heating and air conditioning, your system pulls air from your home via the return air duct. This air is sent through a filter before it enters your HVAC system. An advanced air filter is able to filter out microscopic particles from your air. Some can even capture and kill the flu virus! This keeps your home healthier, and your HVAC system more efficient. The effectiveness of an air cleaner is measured with a MERV rating.

2. UV Lamp
Sometimes the purpose of a UV lamp is misunderstood. A UV lamp performs one function very effectively: they kill mold that can grow inside the indoor coil system. An evaporator coil or fan coil has a dark, damp interior when cooling in the summer. This is a breeding ground for mold. If mold grows it can get into your air, and decrease the efficiency of your air conditioning. A UV Lamp kills this mold, and protects your air.

3. Ventilator
An energy recovery ventilator is truly a piece of art. A ventilator is able to take outside air and exchange it with inside air, while transferring the heat energy. It's like opening a window without having a heavy impact on your utility bills. A ventilator is a key component to IAQ, and keeps the air fresh inside your home.
