Indoor Air Quality Services
Miller’s Heating & Air
Indoor air quality is an key part of home comfort as well as your family's health. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, known as the EPA:
"We spend about 90% of our time indoors. Indoor Air Quality affects everyone, especially the most vulnerable - children, the elderly, and people with health conditions like asthma and heart disease".
Poor indoor air quality has short term and long term impacts on your health.
Short Term Impacts
Potential short term health impacts of poor IAQ and indoor air pollutants include:
Headaches
Dizziness
Itchy and Irritated Eyes, Nose and/or Throat
Often these symptoms are similar to that of a cold or the flu. That makes it hard to determine what's related to IAQ and what's a sickness. If you experience improvement in your symptoms when you are away from your house, it is likely related to poor IAQ.
Long Term Impacts
You need to have continual exposure over long periods to experience long term effects. Long term impacts on your health can include:
Heart Diseases
Respiratory Disease
Cancer
1. DUCT CLEANING
Dust, dirt, mold and other contaminants build up within the ductwork of your heating and cooling system over time.
A duct cleaning improves your indoor air quality (IAQ) and system efficiency.
✔ Improves Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
✔ Increases Efficiency and Saves You Money Longer Equipment Life
✔ Cleaner Indoor Environment and Less Dusting
✔ Removes Unwanted Odors
Our Cleaning Process:
The key components of this system are the portable central power vacuum and the high-powered air compressor, which creates a powerful vacuum, pulling dislodged contaminants into the vacuum system.
The Result:
This filtration system is so efficient that it captures contaminants and leaves you with a clean and healthy air duct system for your home and family.
2. AEROSEAL DUCT SEALING
Aeroseal duct sealing is acclaimed as the new industry standard.
✔ Up to 30% in utility savings
✔ Eliminates hot/cold spots
✔ Reduces dust and allergens
✔ Improves operating efficiency and prolong life of the equipment
The Aeroseal Process:
Prepare the system.
All registers are blocked off with foam. A hole is cut into the supply or return. An Aeroseal machine is connected to the hole near the supply using lay-flat tubing.
Pretest the system.
The tubing is inflated and the Air Duct Diagnostic pretest will detect the exact amount of leakage. The typical duct leakage detected in a home is between 30-40%.
Seal the ductwork.
Nontoxic aerosol sealant is injected into the duct system. As the sealant exits through leaks, it begins to collect and seal. Aeroseal can seal openings up to 5/8ths of an inch.
Review results.
The entire Aeroseal process is computer monitored, and you will receive a summary of your results.

AIR FILTERS
We carry both AC filters and furnace filters at Miller's Heating & Air. We stock the standard sizes and can special order the lesson common sizes from our vendors.
Changing your air filters frequently is important. Dirty air filters block air flow to your system. This decreases efficiency and increases your utility bills.
Plus, a dirty air filter causes your system to work harder. This can eventually lead to a system breakdown or repair.
A dirty air filter impacts IAQ but becoming a source of indoor air pollutants. Unwanted air pollutants start growing on dirty air filters. These pollutants can include bacteria, dust mites and mold.
Change your air filter every 3 months on average to avoid these issues. Some air filters need more or less frequent changing. It depends on the type of air filter that your have purchased. If you are unsure, call our office today and we will advise.
