Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
We often think about the air pollution outside, but did you know that the air inside your home can be just as, if not more, polluted?
At Tavalm, we understand the critical role that indoor air quality (IAQ) plays in your family's health, comfort, and overall well-being.
​
Poor indoor air quality can lead to a range of issues, from minor discomfort to serious health concerns. That's why we offer comprehensive indoor air quality services to ensure the air you breathe at home is clean, fresh, and healthy.
​
Investing in your home's IAQ can bring a wealth of positive changes such as:
​
-
Improved respiratory health: cleaner air means fewer airborne irritants like dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens.
-
Reduced allergy and asthma triggers: for allergy and asthma sufferers, poor IAQ can trigger uncomfortable and even dangerous reactions.
-
Elimination of unpleasant odors: lingering odors from cooking, pets, cleaning products, or even mold can make your home less enjoyable.
-
Increased comfort levels: proper humidity control can prevent your home from feeling too dry in the winter or overly humid in the summer.
-
Reduced dust and allergens: effective filtration systems capture dust particles, pet dander and other airborne allergens before they settle on surfaces.
-
Protection against harmful pollutants: indoor air can contain various pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products, furniture, and building materials.

Humidification & Dehumidification
Humidification combats dry Wisconsin winters by adding moisture to your air. This alleviates dry skin, cracked lips, and itchy throats. Proper humidity can also reduce static electricity, protect wooden furniture from cracking, and even make your home feel warmer, potentially lowering heating bills.
​
Dehumidification during humid Wisconsin summers, removes excess moisture preventing that sticky, uncomfortable feeling. More importantly, it inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and dust mites, all common allergens. Dehumidification can also protect your home from moisture damage and may allow your air condition to operate more efficiently.
​
Maintaining the ideal indoor humidity level (between 30% and 50%) year-round contributes to a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

Filtration
Adding a high efficiency air filtration system to your furnace improves its ability to remove allergens such as pollen, pet dander dust mite debris, and even some bacteria and viruses. This is particularly beneficial for allergy and asthma sufferers who usually prefer to have a healthier indoor environment.

Fresh Air Ventilation
Fresh air ventilation brings a constant supply of outdoor air into your home while exhausting stale indoor air. This dilutes pollutants, odors, and excess humidity, creating a healthier and more comfortable living space. Proper ventilation reduces the buildup of allergens, improves air quality, and can even help prevent moisture-related issues. By replacing stagnant air with fresh, filtered air, you'll breathe easier and enjoy a more invigorating home environment, especially important during Wisconsin's varying seasons.

UV Lights
UV-C germicidal lamps offer a powerful way to render airborne microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores inactive and unable to reproduce. These lamps emit ultraviolet light that helps reduce the spread of illness, minimizes mold growth, and contributes to a cleaner, healthier breathing environment for your family.
