When you think about indoor air quality (IAQ), you might picture air purifiers or houseplants. But one of the most critical factors in maintaining healthy air is your HVAC equipment. Your heating and cooling system doesn’t just regulate temperature—it plays a key role in controlling humidity, circulating air, and filtering out pollutants.
Getting these factors right can make all the difference in creating a clean, comfortable, and healthy home. That’s where ACCA’s Quality Installation (QI) certificates come in. This third-party verification process ensures your system is installed and calibrated to contribute to healthier air quality in your home from day one—no technical expertise required.
A well-functioning HVAC system maintains balanced humidity levels, preventing excessive moisture that can lead to mold and mildew growth. Proper dehumidification also makes your home less hospitable to allergens like dust mites.
HVAC systems use filters to capture particles like dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens. High-quality filters combined with effective airflow calibration ensure cleaner air is distributed throughout your home.
Properly adjusted airflow ensures air moves efficiently through your new equipment, maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels—if airflow is too slow or too fast, it can cause comfort and moisture issues.
Even the best HVAC equipment can contribute to unhealthy IAQ if it’s not installed correctly. Poor installation can lead to issues like:
These problems not only compromise your HVAC system’s efficiency but also directly affect your home’s air quality.
ACCA’s QI certificate process is designed to verify that your HVAC equipment is installed to meet industry standards, ensuring it supports a healthier home environment. Here’s how it works:
The QI certificate process ensures that every detail of your HVAC system is optimized for performance and health—and gives you peace of mind.
Your HVAC system is the heart of your home’s air quality. By ensuring it’s installed correctly, you’re taking the first step toward a healthier, more comfortable living environment. So partner with a contractor who issues QI certificates and ensure your system is doing its part to keep your air clean and your home comfortable.
