Indoor Air Quality
Your Trusted Indoor Air Quality Company
The quality of your indoor air is an extremely important consideration, and yet something that not many people in South Holland and surrounding areas think about. However, indoor air quality can have a profound effect on your health and the health of your loved ones. Luckily, air quality is easily controlled with air cleaners and humidifiers. At Van Drunen Heating & Air Conditioning, we want your family to breathe easier and have the air quality solutions you’re looking for.
Air Cleaners
Many people assume that the air in the home is perfectly fine – why would they need to clean it? The problem with indoor air is that over time, the following can accumulate, leading to allergies, respiratory problems, and more:
- Pollen;
- Bacteria;
- Viruses;
- Dust mites; and
- Pet hair.
In order to combat these common allergens and irritants that can negatively affect air quality, we will assess the situation and provide you with recommendations and solutions for improving your air quality. We usually recommend the Pure Air whole-home air purification system, which is more effective at cleaning your air than any other system that money can buy. Our other recommendations are the Lennox Healthy Climate HC16, or the Healthy Climate HEPA filtration system. Both are great options.
Humidifiers
Air quality isn’t just about the pollutants in your air; it’s also about controlling for humidity. Air that is too dry can dry out nasal cavities, skin, and throat, leading to itchy skin and trouble breathing, especially when sleeping. Humidification, or adding moisture to the air, is one of the most important components of an indoor air system and your comfort.
But humidification does more than just keep your throat from getting scratchy or your skin from getting dry; controlling your humidity – which means not letting it get too moist within your home – is also essential for mold and dust mite prevention, both of which can cause irritation and health issues. We provide humidifiers that keep the humidity in your home at the perfect level for comfort and improved health all-year-round.
Other Tips for Controlling Indoor Air Quality
In addition to installing an air cleaning system and a home humidifier, we also recommend vacuuming and dusting regularly, and changing filters in heating and cooling systems. Changing your filters on a regular basis can have a huge effect on the quality of your indoor air.

FAQs About Indoor Air Quality in Illinois
What are the long-term effects of living with poor indoor air quality?
Extended exposure can lead to chronic respiratory problems, worsened asthma symptoms, and increased susceptibility to infections. Poor air quality may also contribute to sleep disruption, reduced cognitive function, and aggravated allergies, which can impact your daily comfort and health.
How do pets affect indoor air quality?
Pets introduce dander, hair, and tracked-in dirt that circulate through your HVAC system. Their presence increases airborne allergens and can worsen symptoms for sensitive family members. Regular grooming and professional air cleaning systems effectively manage these challenges.
Can regular cleaning improve indoor air quality?
Absolutely! Frequent vacuuming with HEPA filters, dusting surfaces, and changing HVAC filters significantly reduce airborne pollutants. However, combining these efforts with professional air cleaners and proper humidity control provides the most comprehensive solution.
How do seasonal changes affect indoor air quality?
In winter, your furnace can dry out the indoor air, while spring brings increased pollen levels. Summer humidity can promote mold growth, and fall leaf debris can affect the outdoor air entering your home. Year-round air quality management keeps your family comfortable regardless of the season.
Who is most vulnerable to poor indoor air quality?
Children, elderly adults, and individuals with asthma, allergies, or weak immune systems are at the greatest risk. However, anyone spending significant time indoors benefits from clean air and proper humidity control for optimal health and comfort.
