Does your home or office feel stuffy? Do you notice uneven heating and cooling, stale air or unpleasant smells in your living space? According to the American Lung Association, buildings need to breathe. Exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air improves air circulation, which enhances comfort and indoor air quality. Without proper air exchange, indoor air becomes saturated with dust, pollen, smoke, pathogens and other pollutants. Adequate ventilation and air circulation within a building improves comfort and dilutes concentrations of pollutants. Proper airflow also controls humidity, a factor in indoor comfort.

Importance of Adequate Ventilation and Air Circulation for Comfort and Health

In a ducted heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, air flowing through ducts is delivered to all the connected spaces. FORTIZ HVAC pressurizes the system to balance the rate of exchange of fresh and stale air and ensure that each space receives the correct amount of conditioned air to maintain comfort.

When a system is not balanced, some rooms may be hotter than others or feel clammy or stuffy. Poor air circulation affects indoor air quality by allowing pollutants to build up in the living space. Poor ventilation compounds the problem. At FORTIZ HVAC We can may adjust components in the system, such as modifying fan speeds, cleaning or upgrading filters or adjusting dampers in the vents to improve airflow.
