As homes and office buildings are increasingly designed to save maximum energy when heating and cooling, indoor air quality has become a bigger concern from both a comfort and health standpoint. Air-tight buildings can trap dust, pollen, and viruses, and conditioned air can become uncomfortably dry. As a result, indoor air quality (IAQ) products have become a necessity in some situations.

Trusted Indoor Air Quality Solutions

At Lew's Reliable Heat & A/C, we understand that most people spend 90 percent of their day indoors, and of that, 65 percent in their homes. With indoor pollutants on the rise, there are steps you can take to keep the air in your home as clean as possible.

Keep the air fresh in your home

Vent bathrooms, kitchens, dryers, and central vacuums outside
Have your fireplace or wood-burning stove regularly inspected to be sure of proper ventilation
Store solvents, cleaners, and paints in a shed or detached garage
Have furnaces and water heaters regularly inspected for proper ventilation
Change your furnace air filter regularly
Open windows when weather permits

IAQ Product Installations

For your family’s health and comfort, it may be necessary to take extra steps to keep the air in your home at an optimum level. A variety of IAQ products can make a big difference in your home.

Air cleaners – To be effective, an air cleaner must be efficient in the amount of air it draws through its filter AND in trapping the pollutants in that air. Table-top air cleaners are frequently efficient in only one area. UV light cleaners are a great alternative, using ultraviolet light to actually destroy germs and viruses in the air. Ask us how we can install this device in the ductwork of your HVAC system.
Ventilation systems – Opening a window may not be enough for your home. A whole-house mechanical ventilation system is a great option, and they are often included in today’s new construction. Featuring air-to-air heat exchangers, these systems can significantly reduce the level of pollutants in homes and offices.
Humidifiers – The dry air that results from forced-air systems can not only cause health issues for your family, but it can also actually damage your home, causing wood products to split, paint to crack, and wallpaper to peel. Whole-house humidifiers work with your HVAC system to keep correct and consistent levels of moisture in every room in your home.
Carbon monoxide – Your fireplace and every gas-powered appliance in your home has the potential for creating dangerous carbon monoxide in your home. A carbon monoxide detector will alert you when levels become unsafe.

The professionals at Lew's Reliable Heat & A/C can help you improve the comfort of your family by evaluating the air quality in your home and finding the perfect IAC product for you. Call today for an evaluation and a free estimate.

Jared was Rick’s support Tech on our new Bryant Air Conditioner Installation in March 2020. He did an outstanding job working with Rick. He is a great asset to Lew’s and his team members. They also take care of my Boiler Heating System. I would recommend Lew’s to my friends. Thank you for being there.

My furnace stopped working in cold December weather and Lew’s was able to send a technician out the same day. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable and honest. To fix the problem, the tech needed to order a part, which came (and was installed the next day). My husband and I are very thankful for such great service and having our house nice and warm again!!

I had Lew’s come out today to check and see if I could get by with replacing an inducer on my 29 year old furnace. Ed, the technician checked out the furnace condition and said while the furnace is definitely older, it looks in good shape and may last a couple more years and installed the inducer. I appreciated their prompt, HONEST service. No high pressure in trying to sell me a new furnace. When I do get a new furnace I won’t think twice about purchasing it from Lew’s! and thanks Ed, you were very easy to work with!!!!

Furnace was not feeling well… cold Ohio weather! Called Lew’s spoke with Lisa in the office and she was able to have someone come out the next day. Ed the technician showed up on time and was able to diagnose called his office and another office lady I believe her name is (Autumn) drove the part halfway to meet the technician so he wasn’t wasting time. The entire staff went above and beyond for me. Thank you!
