Indoor air quality testing in Grand Rapids, MI for your home can alert you to possible pollutants and contamination in the air you are breathing throughout the day. It may surprise you to learn that the air inside your home can often be more polluted than that outside. Modern homes are relatively airtight, so unless you open your windows frequently, there is little air circulation to disperse pollutants and improve air quality. Bel-Aire Heating & Cooling is here to help you monitor and improve your home’s indoor air quality, so read on to learn more about working with us.

Air Purifiers & Filters
Today’s homes are better insulated than ever. While this is great for energy savings, it also means that millions of airborne particles are trapped indoors where they continue to circulate throughout your home, and the air your family breathes. The Lennox PureAir system whole home air purifiers and filter systems work with your heating and cooling system to provide a thorough, whole home solution to remove these particles and dramatically improve the quality of your indoor air.

Ventilators
New homes and some older homes can be tightly built to save energy, but this can often times have a negative impact on homes without proper ventilation. An airtight home provides no way to refresh the indoor environment. An ideal solution for tightly sealed homes is a Health Climate Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV). The ERV system exchanges stale air from inside with fresher outdoor air. To ensure absolute comfort, the system captures heat from contaminated air before it is moved outdoors.
Features of Healthy Climate Energy Recovery Ventilator:
- Provides cleaner, fresher indoor air
- Designed to provide comfort in colder climates
- Transfers heat from indoor air before it is discharged
- Will not restrict airflow for proper filtration
