Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is an important factor to consider not just in heavy industry involving lots of chemicals. In today's polluted world, any large job must be monitored for air quality. HVAC ventilation technology has advanced over the years. New central heating and air conditioning technologies have emerged to deal with new environments like data centers and indoor pools. The Denver Museum of Fine Arts contracted a Denver HVAC company to build UV filters that kill foreign microbes in the exhibits. These technologies are filtering out into other parts of the heating ventilation and air conditioning industry.

People do stupid things when times are rough though. Reports of people holding off replacement of their Denver air conditioning filters have come out. What these people don't realize is that filter replacement is cheaper in several ways. For one thing, a clogged filter makes the machine work harder to push the same amount of air - leading to increased energy bills and lower system life. The cost of a replacement filter is usually much lower.

Commercial customers usually don't have the same problems as residential customers, who might not even know they have a filter on the system. Companies and large buildings usually have their own building managers, or a Denver HVAC company on call.

Residences have started installing high-efficiency air filters. Companies are bundling the filters as part of a standard indoor air quality upgrade package. Bundling the filters is a good way to get customers to accept new technology that is beneficial to both parties.

In addition to energy savings, contractors have been pushing filters by educating customers about breathing unclean air and respiratory issues that result. For situations where the customer uses the vent without heating or cooling, a blower is needed to circulate the air. Industrial clients should already have good ventilation, but other clients may need education on how air movement benefits air quality, and the control mechanisms those HVAC systems use - whether they be a thermostat, programmable fan or custom air conditioning company installed controls.
