What is IAQ?
IAQ stands for indoor air quality, which is the air quality within and around buildings and structures. IAQ impacts the health and comfort of building occupants. Healthy Climate Solutions™ from Lennox, and other indoor air quality systems, work with your home comfort system to make your indoor air as clean and comfortable as it can possibly be. When your home’s air is clean, your family can breathe and feel better.
Signs of an Indoor Air Problem
Odors and damaged surfaces:
While you can’t see the air in your home, there are signs you can look for to tell if there’s something wrong. Red flags may include musty odors, condensation on windows, discoloration of walls or ceilings, loose drywall tape, wood warping, and peeling or chipping of paint.
Headaches and other health symptoms:
How you feel is also a good indicator of whether or not you have a problem with indoor air quality. If you can breathe easier when you’re away from home, your home’s air may not be as healthy as it should be.
Your home should always be a safe and comfortable place for you and your family to enjoy. Even with a great heating and cooling system, however, your home may still be uncomfortable. Lingering odors, stale air and temperature changes from room to room are common signs of issues with airflow and humidity control.
There are a variety of solutions that the home comfort specialists at Sobieski can combine to fit your home’s unique needs, including:
Total Home Air Purification
The PureAir air purification system by Lennox filters your home’s air by using three components. It first uses a pleated media filter to remove pollen, dust and bacteria. Then, ultraviolet (UV) lights destroy bacteria and viruses, and finally a metal mesh plate specially designed to destroy organic compounds removes odors and chemicals.
With air purification, you can have peace of mind that your home’s air is safe and healthy to breathe. It can help you reduce allergy symptoms, asthma attacks and other respiratory issues year-round.
Home Comfort Zoning Systems
Too hot in the kitchen? Cool it off! Too cold in the bedroom? Turn up the heat! And do it all at the same time.
With a residential home comfort zoning system, you can control the individual temperature of each room or zone in your home, allowing everyone in your home to always have the temperature suited to their needs. Zoning your home offers you with exceptional comfort and energy savings since you won’t have to heat or cool rooms you’re not actively using.
Whole House Humidifiers
Unlike small portable humidifiers that only add moisture to a single room at one time, TrueEASE whole-house humidifiers are integrated directly into your HVAC system. This means all the air in your home can achieve the perfect humidity level.
A whole-home humidifier adds moisture to the dry air as it leaves your home’s furnace. The humidified air then circulates through your ducts to your entire home. Especially during the winter, a whole-home humidifier can help with:
- Reducing indoor pathogens, viruses and bacteria, resulting in better health
- Diminishing chances of dry itchy skin, dry eyes and sore throats, reducing discomfort
- Alleviating asthma symptoms
- Decreasing wood cracking and shrinkage

Low-Level Carbon Monoxide Monitors
Carbon monoxide is a nondiscriminating threat that can endanger you and your family at any time. To keep you safe and secure, Sobieski can install a National Safety Institute Model 3000 CO monitor that will provide protection for everyone in your household, especially infants, children, the elderly, and highly sensitive or ill people.
The NSI Model 3000 lets you know there’s a problem before reaching dangerous CO levels, long before the other detectors even begin to work. This monitor employs the same electrochemical sensor technology found in professional CO analyzers to help give you peace of mind about your family’s safety.
