Control Indoor Pollution with a Whole-Home Ventilation System in Jackson
Current homes are more energy efficient, which is good news for your heating and cooling bills. But that efficiency also means less airflow, which is bad news for indoor air quality.
We spend most of our lives indoors—up to 90 percent, according to an EPA study. And having an airtight home means chemicals can build up. The EPA says this can make your home’s air quality two to five times worse than outdoor air.
With a whole-home ventilation system from Comfortech Service Experts , you can pull stuffy, dirty air from your home. Then, the system trades the musty air with fresh air from outdoors. Some models can help your home keep heat and moisture in the winter and expel more of it in the summer.

Why Home Ventilation is Important
Having poor indoor air quality can make you sick or worsen ongoing conditions like allergies or asthma.
There are a couple of pollution sources that affect the air your family breathes.
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are found in common household products, like furniture, flooring, paint and cleaning products. High concentration can result in respiratory inflammation and headaches.
- Dust, mold and pet dander. These are the largest typical indoor pollution sources. They can aggravate allergies and asthma.
- Carbon monoxide. This colorless, odorless, tasteless gas is made by insufficient combustion in a natural gas appliance. CO poisoning causes flu-like symptoms and can be deadly.
How Whole-Home Ventilation Works
House ventilation systems can eliminate pollution from the air in your home.
Balanced ventilation uses exhaust fans to bring fresh air into the house—and expel stuffy air.
Plus, some systems from Comfortech Service Experts make the most of energy efficiency. This gives fresh airflow without excessive energy consumption.
