Indoor Air Quality Articles

Most homes in Idaho and across the country are well-insulated, helping your heating and cooling system run more efficiently.

A tightly sealed home prevents conditioned air from escaping, allowing your home to maintain a consistent temperature for longer periods. That means your air conditioner (AC), furnace, or heat pump can run less to keep you comfortable.

Our professionals at Comfort Zone Heating & Cooling want to provide you with the information to create a healthy, comfortable environment for you and your family. Here is some important information about dehumidifiers and the role they play in your home’s health and comfort.

Air pollution can affect your health both indoors and outdoors. Smoke particles enter your Idaho home through open windows and doors, exhaust fans that vent to the outdoors, and HVAC systems with a fresh air intake. Even small cracks around your windows and doors allow for infiltration.
