Sick building syndrome (SBS) occurs when tightly sealed buildings with insufficient ventilation become infested with airborne toxins that create poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and cause health issues for the building’s occupants. The American Lung Association says that poor IAQ can pose a serious threat for Tallahassee, and all homeowners.

Telltale Signs of Poor IAQ

If your home has poor ventilation, a humidity problem or excessive dust, or if you don’t maintain your HVAC equipment or your ductwork, indoor air may be making you sick. Common symptoms of poor IAQ include:

  • Watery, burning eyes
  • Throat irritations
  • Sinus conditions
  • Respiratory problems
  • Headaches, dizziness and nausea
  • Skin rashes
  • Aches and pains
  • Inability to concentrate
  • Exhaustion

What’s Polluting my Indoor Air and What can I do About It?

Common pollutants include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like paints and solvents, household cleaning agents, viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew, dust mites, pet dander, carbon monoxide, mold spores and cigarette smoke. If you suspect that your home suffers from poor IAQ, your HVAC contractor can provide effective remedies. Here are some solutions for polluted indoor air:

  • Ventilation can reduce the concentration of airborne contaminants. Open some windows every week to air out your home or look into a whole-house ventilator.
  • High-tech portable air purifiers and air cleaners can remove up to 99 percent of indoor air pollution.
  • UV lights kill mold, mildew, bacteria and viruses.
  • Duct cleaning clears away pollutants in ductwork including bacteria, mold, dust mites, viruses, insect droppings, mildew and dander.
  • Maintenance eliminates dirt in HVAC equipment that blows inside when your system cycles on. Be sure to change air filters regularly; they can be a significant source of pollution.

I would highly recommend High Quality Heating and Air, Inc. They are friendly, responsive, and affordable. They came out to check what was wrong, identified the issue, explained clearly the potential timeframe to get the part and perform the repair, along with the low end and high end costs, and stayed in contact. The issue was repaired timely and with great customer service.

I scheduled a maintenance check up and Randall came out to check my A/C unit. He was so professional and punctual. He explained everything to me as he performed the maintenance. He wore a face covering which made me feel like he had my safety and his own in mind. I will use this company every year. Thanks Randall.

High Quality Heat and Air was highly recommended to us when we knew we needed to replace our air conditioning system. We are very glad we contacted them. Marty met with us and went over our options, gave us good advice, an honest proposal and ordered our equipment without delay. His professional crew installed the unit efficiently without any inconvenience to us. This is one good company in my opinion.

Our air conditioning unit decided to break down one morning. We called High Quality at 4am and by 11am it was fixed! Great responsiveness and as always fixed with no complaints. They are the best!

Marty and his team do a great job replacing our two old AC units. They are very responsive and professional. Marty made some good recommendations that saved us a lot on our energy bill last summer. I highly recommend the company.
