What is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?

You may not think about the air inside your home until it’s too late—when allergies flare up, your skin dries out, or the damp smell of mold invades your senses. But here’s the thing: you spend 65% of your life breathing that air. Shouldn’t it be the best air possible?

At Shelter Air, we make homes healthier by transforming indoor air quality (IAQ) from an afterthought to a priority. From advanced ERV/HRV systems to humidification, indoor air quality monitors, UV light purification, and smart indoor air quality testing, we help you breathe better every day.

My IAQ Journey: The Onions in My Basement

Let me tell you a story. My house—a ranch built in 1963—looked charming enough, but it turned out to be a masterclass in bad design. The stove in the kitchen had a vent so poorly placed that every time I cooked, my basement bedroom smelled like onions. Cooking odors weren’t the worst of it. My husband’s asthma worsened, my son’s allergies flared up, and I realized our home wasn’t just uncomfortable—it was unhealthy.

So, I did what any science nerd would do: I installed indoor air quality monitors, ran load calculations, and mapped airflow like a madwoman. What I found? Dust, mold spores, and pollutants lurking in every corner. That was the moment I realized IAQ wasn’t just about comfort; it was about health and safety.

That experience became the foundation of Shelter Air, where we help families like yours avoid the mistakes I lived through.

Let’s work together to create a home that reflects your values: safe, sustainable, and sensationally comfortable. Because at Shelter Air, it’s not just HVAC; it’s a way of life.

The Tools for Better Air

  1. ERV/HRV Systems
    Every home needs to breathe. These systems exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while conserving energy, reducing allergens, and balancing humidity​​.

  2. Air Filtration
    Advanced filters capture pet dander, pollen, dust mites, and other microscopic pollutants, so you can breathe easier. If it’s in your air, we can filter it​​.

  3. Dehumidification
    High humidity is a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Our systems ensure your home stays dry and safe​​.

  4. Humidification
    Dry air can irritate your skin, sinuses, and respiratory system. We restore balance with systems designed for the perfect indoor environment​​.

  5. Ionization
    Bipolar ionization neutralizes airborne pathogens, odors, and even volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This is where technology meets clean living​​.

  6. UV Light Air Purification
    UV lights work behind the scenes to destroy bacteria, viruses, and other invisible threats, keeping your home a safe haven​​.

  7. Radon Testing & Remediation
    Radon is a silent killer. We test, detect, and eliminate it, so you can rest easy knowing your family is safe​​.

  8. Monitoring and Smart Controls
    Knowledge is power. Our state-of-the-art indoor air quality monitors give you real-time insights, and smart controls let you tweak your environment to perfection​​.

Because I Love to Nerd Out (and Maybe You Do Too)

I get it—you might not spend your evenings dreaming about air filtration and ERVs (that’s my job). But if you’ve got a curious streak and love to dive deep, here are some fascinating links to explore the science and solutions behind healthy air:
