Indoor Air Quality Pembroke | Petawawa

HEPA Filtration Systems: 

High-efficiency filters that trap 99.97% of dust, pollen, and pet dander.

UV Germicidal Lights: 

Installed inside your ducts to kill mold spores, bacteria, and viruses before they circulate.

Media Air Cleaners: 

Heavy-duty, deep-pleated filters that last longer and protect your HVAC equipment better than standard filters.

Electronic Air Cleaners: 

Using static electricity to "magnetize" and trap microscopic smoke and dust particles.

Whole-Home Humidifiers: 

Adds moisture in the winter to prevent dry skin, sore throats, and static shock.

HRVs (Heat Recovery Ventilators): 

Brings in fresh outdoor air while pre-heating it using the outgoing stale air (best for cold climates).

ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators): 

Similar to HRVs, but also manages moisture levels in the incoming air.

VOC & CO2 Monitoring: 

Advanced models (like the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium) now have built-in sensors that detect "hidden" pollutants like cleaning chemicals (VOCs) and high Carbon Dioxide levels. When the air gets "stale," the thermostat can automatically trigger your ventilation system.

Automatic Humidity Balancing: 

Instead of just cooling the air, the thermostat can tell your HVAC to run in "Dehumidification Mode" or trigger a whole-home humidifier to maintain the ideal 30%–50% humidity range.

Air Filter Health Alerts: 

Beyond simple timers, some systems measure "static pressure" in your ducts to tell you exactly when your filter is too dirty and needs to be changed for better air filtration.

"Circulate" Mode: 

Even when the heater or AC isn't running, the thermostat can run the HVAC fan for 15–20 minutes or indefinably every hour to ensure air is constantly passing through your high-efficiency filters and UV lights.

Ventilation Control (HRV/ERV): 

The thermostat can manage your "Fresh Air" intake, bringing in outdoor air only when it's healthy to do so (and pausing during high-pollen or wildfire smoke events).
