Indoor Air Quality in Sacramento
WHY IS INDOOR AIR QUALITY IMPORTANT?
ndoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the quality of the air in and around your facility and its impact on occupant health and safety, as defined by the EPA. At Secure Flow HVAC in Sacramento, we recognize that poor indoor air quality exposes occupants to pollutants, allergens, and bacteria. This can lead to immediate symptoms like irritated eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Over time, chronic exposure can cause severe health conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases. At Secure Flow HVAC, we prioritize proper IAQ, helping you create a healthier and safer environment where employees, students, and visitors can thrive.
HOW TO IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY
One easy way to improve your facility’s IAQ through HVAC is to clean and change your system’s air filters regularly. You should change them at least once per season, but monthly is better. You should also have an HVAC service provider regularly inspect and repair your system through annual maintenance visits to increase your facility’s indoor air comfort. When your HVAC system receives regular high-quality maintenance, your facility will have fewer indoor air quality problems.

When we inspect your facility’s IAQ, we focus on three key pollutants:
Mold: Mold exposure, particularly to black mold, can cause severe health problems like respiratory issues. We assess and remove mold to improve the comfort and health of your building occupants.
Radon: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into buildings through foundations. It's carcinogenic, so our team tests for radon and provides removal solutions.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): VOCs come from solvents, cleaners, and petroleum products, and can cause significant IAQ issues. We detect and address these pollutants to ensure your air remains safe.
