Most of us spend up to 90 percent of our time indoors, so it’s important to monitor indoor air quality. At Merrell & Associates, helping our customers to enjoy cleaner, fresher air is one of the most important things we do. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we can install superior products like high-tech air cleaners that can remove nearly all indoor contaminants circulating throughout your space.
Why’s Indoor Air Quality Important?
Did you know that the air inside your Carrollton, GA, home or business can be ten times more polluted than the air outside? Unfortunately, we can’t see the pollution, so we don’t know it’s there. In the meantime, toxic particles can cause short and long-term health problems in adults, children, and pets. Indoor air pollution can cause symptoms immediately, over time, or years after exposure.
Healthier Living From Optimizing Your Indoor Air
We offer many different indoor air quality solutions for your home like the Solaris® product line. Solaris® indoor air quality products bring that freshness you have outdoors into your home by making the air healthier. Indoor air pollution is made up of many different components and no single air quality product can reduce all the many forms those contaminations exist in. That’s why we recommend Solaris® products for our customers, because each one is focused on a different targeted segment of indoor air pollution meant to remove allergens, germs, and airborne toxins in the HVAC airstream. While they can operate independently, they are also designed to work cohesively creating an efficient, integrated whole house indoor air quality improvement system.
See how this system provide whole house solutions that target each segment of typical indoor air pollution in the diagrams and video below. Or you can learn more here.

- Burning, stinging, watering eyes
- Dry, itchy eyes
- Nose and throat irritations
- Headaches

What Are Some Common Indoor Air Contaminants?
Indoor air pollution can be caused by everything from harsh cleaning products and excessive dust to asbestos and pesticides. Part of the problem is that the buildings of today are tightly sealed to conserve energy. As a result, toxic pollutants get trapped inside where they can quickly multiply. Another source of indoor air pollution is HVAC equipment that’s not properly maintained. Air ducts in particular can harbor contaminants like black mold and rodents. Other pollutants include:
- Dust mites
- Toxic mold, mold spores, and fungi
- Pet dander
- Mildew
- Bacteria and viruses
- Pollen and allergens
- Carbon monoxide
- Insect droppings
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from household products
