Indoor Air Quality:
Does someone in your family suffer from asthma or allergies? We have some amazing solutions! Most HVAC companies just filter the air through the air supply system. Cool Max is different. We take the whole house approach to help our Atlanta customers. We use scientific equipment to test for infiltration of unhealthy air. Once those air leaks are located, we can seal them. Stopping unhealthy air from entering from your attic or crawlspace into your breathing environment is one of the first steps to take.
We also look at humidity levels. Atlanta is known for its high levels of humidity in the summer months. Too much humidity breeds certain viruses and bacteria as well as dust mites, which are triggers to most asthma sufferers. On the other hand, air that is too dry breeds other types of bacteria and viruses. Air that is too dry can dry out your sinuses and cause nosebleeds. Controlling humidity not only affects comfort levels, it is also an important factor to having healthy air to breath.

Other factors that affect indoor air quality
Have you ever had one of those cute little squirrels running around in your attic? They may be cute, but what they leave behind is not! If your air supply system is located in your attic, you could be breathing this in your home.
That is a good reason to have your whole house tested. Not only do we look for signs of rodents, we also check your air supply system. We check for air leaks to make sure that you are not breathing this kind of stuff through air leaks in your duct supply system.

Unhealthy materials:
Many of the houses in Atlanta are constructed with fiberboard supply and return air boxes, or plenums, on their heating and cooling equiment. It is more cost effective (cheaper) and meets the State of Georgia code requirements. However, these plenums are made of fiberboard and have fiberglass insulation on the inside of the plenum box, where the conditioned air travels before reaching your room. Several studies have shown that fiberglass is unsuited for use in the air stream. It absorbs moisture, has an irregular surface area that traps dirt particles, is impossible to clean, and releases inorganic respirable fibers. As a result, bacteria and mold thrive in the fiberglass and may be transported to the breathing environment in your home on a fiberglass fiber. If you have these fiberboard plenums in your home and have allergies, asthma or respiratory problems, you may want to consider replacing them with metal plenums, which are not a source for mold growth and do not have fiberglass on the inside of them.
A quality hepa filter or electronic air cleaner is also critical in helping trap unwanted dust particles, viruses and bacteria that enter into your air supply system. A high-end air cleaner can trap allergens down to .1 microns in size. Particles like dust, soot, mold spores and bacteria are often .3 microns.
