Control Indoor Pollution with a Whole-Home Ventilation System in Rochester

Today’s homes are more energy efficient, which is good news for your utility bills. But that efficiency also seals your home, which is bad news for indoor air quality.

We spend most of our lives in a building—up to 90 percent, according to an EPA study. And having an airtight home means pollutants can build up. The EPA says this can make your home’s air quality two to five times worse than outdoor air.

With a whole-home ventilation system from Strogen's Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, you can pull musty, polluted air from your home. Then, the system swaps the stale air with fresh air from outdoors. Some models can help your home hold on to heat and moisture in the winter and get rid of more of it in the summer.

Get started by requesting a no-cost comfort analysis. Our Experts can suggest the system that’s right for your home and climate in Rochester. Plus, all our work is upheld by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for a year.^*

Why Home Ventilation is Important

Having poor indoor air quality can make you sick or aggravate persistent conditions like allergies or asthma.

There are several pollution sources that impact the air your family breathes.

1. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are found in everyday household items, like furniture, flooring, paint and cleaning products. Increased concentration can lead to respiratory inflammation and headaches.
2. Dust, mold and pet dander. These are the biggest typical indoor pollution sources. They can exacerbate allergies and asthma.
3. Carbon monoxide. This colorless, odorless, tasteless gas is made by insufficient combustion in a natural gas appliance. CO poisoning causes flu-like symptoms and can kill you.

How Whole-Home Ventilation Works

House ventilation systems can get rid of pollution from the air in your rooms.

Balanced ventilation uses exhaust fans to introduce fresh air into the house—and expel musty air.

Plus, some models from Strogen's Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning make the most of energy efficiency. This delivers fresh airflow without excessive energy expenditure.
