Indoor Air Quality FAQs

Is the air you’re breathing inside your home healthy? Many homeowners don’t realize that they might be breathing in harmful toxins and airborne chemicals every time they take a breath. So, what do you need to know about indoor air quality? See below for some frequently asked questions:

What is Indoor Air Quality?

Put simply, indoor air quality is the quality of the air inside your home. It has to do with the amount of pollutants, but is also determined by humidity and ventilation levels.

How Can I Improve IAQ?

There are four main steps to improving the quality of air inside your home: eliminate, ventilate, clean and monitor. The first step is to find the sources of air pollutants and get rid of them if possible. The second step is to keep your home ventilated. Open up windows and doors when the weather is nice outside and make sure to clean the filters in your HVAC system regularly. Clean your home by vacuuming and make sure to use anti-bacterial cleaners in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Finally, you can reduce and monitor humidity levels with a dehumidification system.

Health Concerns

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside homes can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. If anyone in your family suffers from allergies or other respiratory problems, poor indoor air quality is only making their conditions worse.

Customer Satisfaction is our #1 Priority What Dean’s Customers are saying
I recently bought a new house and quite a few things needed upgrading / replacing. Deans has done fantastic work on all these things. Scheduling is fast and easy. They are able to come out quickly to assess it and give an estimate. And they can quickly schedule the service. All the technicians have been fantastic. Friendly, and quick and efficient. I am so glad I am a member and I will recommend Deans to anyone. Mark B.
Matthew came for a general plumbing inspection. He was friendly and polite and even a little bit early for his appointment. That is a wonderful thing. He checked all the toilets and sinks, the water heater and water softener. All the while explaining what he was doing. He had some ideas on a few repairs but wasn't an alarmist about it. Things that just had to be done, sooner than later, but not immediately. The Dean's club membership is definitely worth it. Susan M.
Eric B was awesome and informative. Today he came and gave us a rundown of our new homes air ventilation and Furnace/AC systems so we are all ready for winter and beyond. We had Dean's install a new furnace, ac and water heater at our previous home and they did such a wonderful job and so easy to work with we will only use them from now on. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Jayme K.
I had Dean's come out a couple times for different services. Once to install venting for a bath fan and once for service for my furnace. There were no surprises in pricing and service was quick. Sam was the tech both times and he did a great job for both jobs. For the furnace, he diagnosed the issue within minutes of starting the work and got it up and running quickly. They had all the parts in the truck already. As far as the appointment, I requested service online, had a call back within 15 min and the tech was in my driveway an hour later. I would highly recommend Dean's. Dan P.
Of the several electricians I contacted, Dean's offered by far the quickest dispatch time, which is great because my thermostat broke and wouldn't start my A/C at all. Given that temperatures are supposed to reach 98 degrees tomorrow, time was of the essence. Thankfully, Dean's had someone out within an hour. I worked with Seth, who was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He ran a 'C' wire to our new smart thermostat and got it installed in about an hour at a reasonable price. I will definitely recommend Dean's to anyone who needs an electrician. Michael Y.
