Poor Air Circulation Can Cause Inadequate Indoor Air

Did you know poor air circulation is one of the leading causes of bad indoor air quality (IAQ)? Sanborn’s Air Conditioning & Heating wants to emphasize this is not an issue to be taken lightly. The Environmental Protection agency considers IAQ to be a serious public health issue.
It’s also a quality of life issue. Poor air circulation can mean sleepless nights and generally make life miserable for asthma and allergy sufferers.
Trust Sanborn’s to make the suffering a thing of the past. When our technicians are in your home or business for routine maintenance, they can also do an airflow evaluation. If they find a problem there are several ways to solve it.

  • Air-side economizer: This air circulation system is mainly for commercial applications. The device continually brings fresh air into your building. It’s integrated into the central system to distribute the air. Filters act as air cleaners to remove particulates and other contaminants from the outside air. Air-side economizers are particularly effective in places like data centers requiring constant cooling.
  • Whole-house fans: Are an air circulation system used to accomplish the same goals in homes. Sanborn’s features the Quiet Cool brand. It is installed in the attic and draws in fresh air through open windows or vents and exhausts through the roof. A properly designed system will completely change the air in the home dozens of times every hour.
  • Filtration: Air circulation can also be improved with better maintenance of your current filtration system. Our Sanborn’s experts can change clogged filters and make sure you are using the right type of filters. Dirty or incorrect filters can greatly reduce air circulation in the home.
  • Zoning: Sanborn’s can install dampers in your ductwork to direct the airflow. The dampers are controlled by separate thermostats. In addition to solving air circulation problems, zoning can also help eliminate cold and hot spots in the house.

Many times, our technicians will find poor circulation is caused by problems in the HVAC ducts. Sometimes the metal ducting was installed incorrectly or has holes and leaks. Click here to learn more about some common ductwork problems.
