• Dehumidifiers
In order to make a room comfortable in hot, humid climates, an air conditioner must lower the indoor humidity level as well as the air temperature. If an air conditioner fails to lower the humidity adequately, the air will be cool, but will feel uncomfortably damp.
• Duct Cleaning

Indoor Air Quality Services in Baxter, IA

You may not realize it, but the air moving through your house is filled with numerous particles—and many of them aren’t ones you want to be breathing. Unfortunately, there’s little opportunity for these unwanted pollutants to escape from your house because of the heavy insulation that seals its interior from the outside temperatures. Because many of these contaminants come from sources inside your home (cleaning products, construction material) it’s difficult, even with some airflow through the house, to maintain healthy and pleasant air quality unless you have help from professionals.

Baxter Comfort Solutions is a company in Baxter, IA that can improve your household air quality. We offer a number of services and installations to get rid of harmful airborne contaminants and balance humidity levels. Contact us to find out more about what we can do for your house. We serve the entire “golden circle” between Ames, Des Moines, Newton, and Marshalltown.

Eliminating Pollutants with Air Filters and Air Purifiers

The two most useful tools for cleaning the air in a house are air filters and electronic air purifiers. Filters use a weave of fibers, usually made of fiberglass or polyester, to trap particles that move through them. If a filter is accurately fit with a home’s HVAC system, it can clean out more than 98% of larger pollutants, including dust, dust mites, lint, and dander. To combat smaller particles, a filter can be paired with an electronic air purifier. Most purifiers use ionization to remove pollutants like chemicals, smoke, and odor molecules. Purifiers that use UV lights are effective against bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms. Our professionals will help you determine the type of air quality systems necessary to boost your indoor air quality.

Balancing Humidity with Whole–House Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers

Extremes in relative humidity are problems for comfort and health in a residence. When the air is too humid, it makes heat harder to bear and encourages the growth of harmful molds. When the air is too dry, it adds an uncomfortable edge to cooler temperatures and weakens immune systems so illnesses spread rapidly. And both conditions can contribute to damage to surfaces. To combat either problem requires that professionals install a whole–house humidifier or dehumidifier to bring relative humidity into the middle range (between 30% and 50%). You can count on us to properly integrate one (or both) into your HVAC system so you can always enjoy the ideal humidity balance in your house.
