Indoor Air Quality Articles

Get ready for cooler weather here in Littleton—fall is here!

Winter is right around the corner and with it comes freezing temperatures, frequent illness, and dry indoor air. If you struggle with discomfort during the winter in your Denver home, you may benefit from investing in a humidification system. 

At Quality West Heating & Cooling, we’re glad to share as much information as possible about protecting your indoor air quality (IAQ).

Our team at Quality West Heating & Cooling wants to pass along a gentle reminder about the importance of this small maintenance task.

At Quality West Heating & Cooling, we specialize in HVAC systems that add value to your home and enjoyment to your lives. After all, nothing spells happiness like fresh air.

There are many advantages to adding a whole-house humidifier to your Colorado home. Adding a humidifier can increase the comfort level in your home and lower your annual energy expenses. Proper humidity levels can allow you to maintain indoor comfort levels at a lower temperature which uses less energy for heating.

Just like your lungs are an important connection to the rest of your respiratory system, your home’s ductwork, or air ducts, are importantly connected to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. For your HVAC system—and your lungs—to perform at peak level, the numerous airways need to be open and clear. All in the name of breathing properly.

In many places, evidence of fall’s presence is obvious by way of beautiful fall colors. But many only experience fall with its subtlety through lower humidity levels.

Thank you for doing business with us. We look forward to being of service to you!
