In the bustling neighborhoods around Princeton, homeowners face a unique set of challenges when it comes to maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ). From smog to wildfire smoke and the annual surge of pollen and other allergens, there are plenty of factors that contribute to the over 20 days a year the air quality index is over 100 in New Jersey. For homeowners, keeping the air inside your home clean and healthy requires proactive measures. Fortunately, Princeton Air installs a range of Trane products designed to combat these issues, ensuring your home remains a safe haven despite the conditions outside.
How the Outside Air Affects IAQ
Before diving into solutions, it's important to understand how the air outside can affect the health of the air you breathe in your home. Pollutants like ozone, particulate matter from smog and wildfire smoke, allergens, pet dander, and chemicals can seep into your home through open doors and windows, as well as tiny holes and gaps. These gaps and cracks are commonly found in basements, crawl spaces, and attics, and often go overlooked as the source of comfort, efficiency, and air quality issues.
Once these particles enter your home, they are absorbed into your heating and cooling system and recycled over and over, giving them multiple opportunities to exacerbate respiratory conditions, trigger allergies, and more.
Trane Solutions for a Healthier Home
The first line of defense against unhealthy outdoor air quality is to prevent the outside air from getting into your breathing air - which is done through air sealing your home to close gaps and insulating it to further isolate the temperatures in your home from the unpredictable outside temps. But even once that has been addressed, there are still many homes that will require the installation of air filtration, purification, and ventilation equipment in order to achieve healthy IAQ levels. At Princeton, we keep a number of Trane products in our quiver to help homeowners improve their IAQ without sacrificing their comfort or energy efficiency.
Trane Air Purifiers
Air purifiers can be installed on your heating and cooling systems that actively capture and inactivate harmful pollutants and contaminants. Using static electricity, the Trane CleanEffects Whole-Home Air Cleaner removes particles as small as 0.3 microns, including allergens, dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander.
HVAC Filters: Upgrade Your System
Upgrading and regularly replacing the air filter in your air conditioner is another way to keep your indoor air clean. Princeton Air can pair you with the right HEPA and MERV filters to maximize efficiency and filtration.
Trane Heat Pump Air Filters
Trane heat pumps also filter the air, and can even bolster the stability of your home’s ideal humidity levels. The air filters in heat pumps and hybrid heat pumps are highly effective, and can be washed by hand — saving you on replacement filter costs.
Trane Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers
Trane makes both dehumidifiers and humidifiers to address moisture imbalances in your home. Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air, which can help prevent mold growth, dust mites, and allergies, while humidifiers add moisture to dry air, which can improve comfort, relieve respiratory problems, and protect wood furniture from cracking.
Trane Energy Recovery Ventilators
Trane's energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) bring in fresh outdoor air while simultaneously expelling stale indoor air. The clever part is the ERV recovers heat and moisture from the outgoing air, pre-conditioning the incoming fresh air for better comfort and reduced energy use.
