Houston’s scorching temperatures and humid climate don’t just challenge your air conditioner. They create a perfect storm for poor indoor air quality (IAQ). From invisible allergens to dangerous microbial growth, the air inside your home might be more polluted than you think. Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. For residents in Houston, TX, this isn’t just a nuisance. It’s a serious health hazard. Fortunately, Trane offers powerful IAQ solutions to help you breathe easier.
Humidity: Microbial Growth Maker
Houston’s humidity can creep into your home and settle in walls, carpets and HVAC systems, which are prime breeding grounds for microbial growth. Exposure can lead to chronic coughing, wheezing and respiratory infections. Trane’s whole-home dehumidifiers work seamlessly with your existing HVAC system to maintain optimal humidity levels, preventing microbial growth before it starts. They continuously pull excess moisture from the air, keeping your indoor environment dry and healthy.
Allergens and Dust: Hidden Triggers for Asthma and Allergies
Pet dander, pollen, and dust mites thrive in Houston homes, aggravating asthma and allergies. Trane’s CleanEffects Air Cleaner removes up to 99.98% of airborne particles, outperforming HEPA filters. Its advanced technology captures ultrafine particles without restricting airflow, ensuring you get clean air without compromising efficiency.
Poor Ventilation: A Recipe for Stale, Contaminated Air
Sealed homes can trap pollutants like volatile organic compounds from cleaning products, building materials and off-gassing furniture. Trane’s Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) bring in fresh outdoor air while expelling stale indoor air without overworking your HVAC system. These systems balance humidity and temperature, creating a fresh, breathable indoor climate year-round.
Airborne Viruses and Bacteria: Invisible Health Hazards
Indoor environments can harbor pathogens that spread illness quickly. Trane’s UV light purification systems target bacteria and viruses at the source inside your ductwork and coils. By sterilizing air as it circulates, these systems help protect your family from airborne illnesses.
