IAQ Solutions with AprilAire & Honeywell

What is IAQ? Indoor air quality, or IAQ, is becoming pervasive and the inclusion of IAQ solutions as a standard HVAC service is growing. From single-family homes to multifamily properties, hotels, office buildings, schools and any other structure that could be named, consumers want better indoor air, and the demand is here to stay.

It is important to understand the types of products available to improve air quality in homes and businesses. HVAC IAQ products on the market today can be divided into four main categories:

• Air purification and sanitation products clean the air by eliminating biological contaminants and volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Air purification and sanitation solutions include air scrubbers (or air cleaners), UV lights and bipolar ionization.
• Filtration products act as a barrier and minimize the spread of dust, pollen and bacteria in the air.
• Ventilation products force fresh outdoor air into spaces to dilute stagnant air within a structure and solve for inadequate ventilation.
• Humidity control products maintain moisture levels between the ideal range of 30% to 60%. This makes it harder for germs and pathogens to live in the air and on surfaces.

Honeywell Home by Resideo

From Smart WiFi connected and programmable thermostats to humidifiers, home ventilation and air purifiers, Honeywell Home by Resideo products help bring greater control and a cleaner, more efficient home.

Air filtration: today’s tightly built homes can trap dust, allergens and potentially hazardous contaminants in the air. Honeywell Home air filers from Resideo help provide cleaner air by capturing a high percentage of harmful airborne particles, including smoke, dust, pet dander and more from the air.

Dehumidifiers: Honeywell Home dehumidifiers from Resideo remove moisture from the home to help maintain desired humidity levels. Excess humidity level promotes mold growth and condensation and may even contribute to increased energy usage. The whole home dehumidification system evenly removes moisture from the home (65 pints per day up to 120 pints per day) to create the desired indoor humidity levels.
