INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Indoor Air Quality Experts in Rockwall, Texas
Pollutants can (and often do) clog the air of every home and business in Rockwall, Texas and the surrounding areas. Particles such as dust, mold, pollen, bacteria, and other airborne debris can quickly become a health hazard, causing allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions that make it difficult to breathe. It is common for people to overlook these problems and chalk them up to a cold or sinus infection, but oftentimes, the culprit is actually dirty, unclean air.
Fortunately, there is a way to improve your indoor air quality and remove allergens, pollutants, and other bacteria from your home or business. At Lyons Air & Heat, we provide many more services than just HVAC system inspection, AC repair, AC unit installation, heater repair, and heater installation.

What Causes Poor Indoor Air Quality?
There are many things that may cause your air quality to depreciate significantly. Dust, dirt, and pollen are some of the more obvious contaminants, but things like lint, mildew, mold, and dirty vents and air filters can also contribute. Other common causes of poor air quality may include:
- Biological Contaminants: What many people are not aware of is that biological contaminants such as bacteria, germs, mold spores, viruses, and other microscopic organisms are typically the biggest threat to indoor air quality. The more people that enter your home or business, the higher the risk of spreading these dangerous particles. We’ve especially learned the importance of clean air in the midst of the recent global COVID-19 pandemic. Though our air improvement services and devices cannot protect against this virus, they can help protect against a weakened immune and respiratory system that may be affected by such viruses.
- Volatile Organic Compounds: Also known as VOCs, volatile organic compounds can include anything from paint chemicals to smoke to natural gas pollutants. Not only do these compounds smell unpleasant, but they can also prove very toxic and be detrimental to both children and adults.
- Pet Dander: Anyone with a shedding household pet can attest to the fact that vacuuming or sweeping up hair is a necessary and often daily task. However, just because you are picking up the hair from the floor, carpets, or furniture does not mean you are eliminating pet dander completely. Microscopic pet hair, skin cells, and dandruff can stick to walls and other surfaces as well as become airborne, meaning you may be inhaling these particles on a daily basis. Even if you are not allergic to your pet, breathing in dander can lead to sinus inflammation and many other respiratory problems.
By bringing in Lyons professional air cleaning services to your home or job, you and your family, employees, and/or customers can breathe easier and live better.
How Can Our Indoor Air Specialists Improve Your Air Quality?
When you hire an indoor air specialist at Lyons Air & Heat, you’ll be able to return clean, breathable air to your home or business without the use of harsh chemicals. Our experienced Rockwall HVAC technicians will identify the source(s) of your indoor contaminants and eliminate them using improved ventilation and air cleaning devices and techniques. Some of the services we offer include the following:
Air Scrubbers
There are countless benefits of installing an air scrubber in your home or business. The Air Scrubber by Aerus uses ActivePure Technology™, which is proven to destroy up to 99-percent of all surface contaminants (including the SARS-CoV-2 virus) from homes, schools, daycares, and more. An air scrubber is a high-tech device that employs a filtration system that effectively removes dangerous particles from the air. Many of these devices use ultraviolet light to generate negative ions that, when bonded with things like pollen, bacteria, and other allergens, create much larger and heavier particulates that cannot float through the air. These particles will then be trapped in a filter within the ductwork of your HVAC system.
Air Purification
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air pollution can be approximately five times more detrimental to your health than outdoor pollution, regardless of whether you live in the heart of the city or in a more rural area. This makes the need for air purification essential for everyone, whether they experience allergies or not. Fortunately, an air purification system like the ones we offer at Lyons Air & Heat can effectively remove these pollutants.
Our air purification equipment works in conjuction with your heating and cooling system to deliver fresh, harm-free air while improving the function of your HVAC system altogether. Similar to air scrubbers, air purifiers (also called air cleaners) employ a polarization process to kill contaminants in your ductwork. Air purifiers create electrically charged fiber material that separates the positive and negative ions, killing airborne pathogens. Then, the air passes through a filter with an extraordinarily high MERV rating (minimum efficiency report value), which captures bigger particles that were not destroyed during the initial ionization process.
Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers
No matter the season, it is important for Texas residents to balance the humidity levels in their home to remain comfortable in the state’s extreme weather conditions. Fortunately, our amazing team of HVAC professionals provide humidity control systems for all kinds of temperatures and humidity levels.
Those who live in Rockwall, Texas and the surrounding areas are no stranger to high humidity. Other than being uncomfortable, increased humidity levels can lead to the development of biological contaminants like mold, mildew, and bacteria growth that can be hazardous to your health and cause serious breathing problems. The solution? Calling a technician at Lyons Air & Heat to install a whole-house dehumidifier.
During the colder months, a whole new set of problems may arise when the moisture in the air diminishes and leaves you breathing in cold, dry air. To combat this, a Lyons indoor air specialist may install a whole-house humidifier to increase the moisture levels in the air, making it easier to breathe and improving your overall wellbeing. When you reach out to our HVAC professionals, we’ll determine which systems work best for you and assist you in regulating the humidity levels in your home or business for years to come.
How You Can Improve Your Air Quality Today
In addition to obtaining the service of a Lyons indoor air quality specialist, there are some steps that you can take yourself to improve the quality of your air today and from here on out. First and foremost, try reducing the output of particulate matter in your home. Cleaning sprays, deodorants, air fresheners, paint, and other harsh chemicals can linger for hours, as can cooking particulates, smoke, and pet dander. Though it’s impossible to completely eradicate these, it is important that you remain cautious about the number of particles and contaminants you bring into your air supply.
Another great way to improve your air quality is to schedule a maintenance visit with a skilled HVAC technician. This is incredibly beneficial for a number of reasons. In addition to ensuring your HVAC system is running at maximum efficiency, routine maintenance can help keep your heating and cooling equipment clean and free of harmful pollutants that may be circulating through your home or business and impairing your air quality.
When Should I Hire an Indoor Air Specialist?
If you’ve been coughing, sneezing, or experiencing frequent headaches, joint pain, or watery eyes, it may be time to consider hiring an indoor air specialist to inspect your home or business and eradicate the airborne particulates that may be affecting you, your family, your employees, or your customers. By obtaining the services of a certified technician at Lyons Air & Heat, we guarantee that the air you breathe will be clean and safe, allowing you to live a better, healthier, and more productive life.
After you’ve originally scheduled your air improvement service, we encourage you to sign up for our HVAC maintenance plan to receive regular check-ups and maintenance for your heating and cooling equipment. With routine HVAC system and air quality checks, you’ll be able to cut your utility bills in half and save on emergency service calls in the future, all while keeping your home or business free from harmful airborne pathogens.
