What Is Acceptable Indoor Air Quality?

The United States has yet to establish a national standard by which to measure.What is acceptable indoor air quality in residences. Recently, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE, established Standard 62.2 as a guideline for acceptable indoor air quality in low-rise buildings. At Jco Heating A/C Electrica, we follow the underlying principles that inspired Standard 62.2 to help our residential customers in Springfield OR, and surrounding areas achieve a healthier quality of air inside their homes.

Strategies for Achieving Better Indoor Air Quality

Standard 62.2 was designed to be a common-sense benchmark that HVAC professionals could use when designing residential HVAC systems. Adequate ventilation, filtration and cleanliness are critical to good indoor air quality. Our technicians will evaluate the current setup of your HVAC system and make recommendations to give you the cleaner, fresher air quality you and your family deserve. In some cases, we can improve your air quality by simply changing your filters and cleaning your system’s coils and ducts.

In other situations, we may recommend installing an air purifier, especially if someone in the home has allergies or a respiratory system that is sensitive or compromised for other reasons. In some cases, we may need to vent certain rooms in your home such as the laundry room or the bathroom to allow for better circulation. Our knowledgeable, licensed technicians will deliver to you the most effective, appropriate solution to keep your household breathing easier and feeling healthier throughout the cold, flu and allergy seasons.
