Indoor Air Quality - Humidity
Annaville Air Conditioning, Inc.
A+ rating with the BBB.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency or EPA publishes a wealth of information on the topic of Indoor Air Quality.
After visiting the EPA site, you will have an understanding that the topic of Indoor Air Quality is vast, and may or may not be related to your heating, ventilating, & air conditioning (HVAC) system- and some may not. Many issues may affect indoor air quality. Annaville A/C can help you identify areas related to your HVAC system that are negatively affecting the air quality in your home or building.
Listed below are some of the topics affecting, or may help cure poor air quality pertaining to HVAC:
Especially in and around the Texas Coastal Bend. Residents of Padre Island, Flour Bluff, and anyone located near the water in Corpus Christi should be particularly aware of the discomfort high indoor humidity can cause.
Too much outdoor air entering the home.
Not enough fresh air entering the home.
Not removing enough moisture.
We are seeing more home owners add motorized exhaust fans to ventilate the attic. This may or may not be a good choice because:
If the building envelope between your conditioned space and the attic is not sufficiently sealed, turning on a motorized exhaust fan will pull conditioned air from the living space. Any air removed from the conditioned space must be replaced by unconditioned outside air. So be careful when adding exhaust fans.
Homes and buildings vary pertaining to the tightness of the envelope between the conditioned space and the attic. In most cases Annaville A/C recommends that you NOT use powered exhaust fans to ventilate the attic. It is better to let the natural air flow do the job of ventilating your hot, humid attic. Discuss with a roofer and carpenter about options on opening up the roof ridge and soffit vents.
Keeps dust particles at acceptable levels. Helps your system be cleaner and more efficient. There is less dust in the air, and is healthier to breathe.
This can have an affect on the amount of outside air entering the home. Outdoor air is dusty and usually humid in the Coastal Bend especially if located near the water in Corpus Christi, Padre Island, and Flour Bluff.
Not only is this a tremendous waste of energy, it also affects the amount of outside air entering the home.
When placed in the proper area, they prevent mold and other biological contaminants from growing on your evaporator, drain pan and blower fan. These three areas are problem areas in the A/C system, and are ideal places biological contaminants love to grow and thrive.
Not removing enough moisture.
