Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Between cold winters and humid summers, we spend a lot of time indoors with the windows closed. Proper air filtration and humidity control make a big difference in how your home feels day to day. Balancing indoor moisture and removing common airborne triggers creates a cleaner, healthier environment that protects your family's respiratory health year-round.

Whole-Home Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers

Whole-home moisture control systems that prevent dry air, static electricity, and irritated sinuses in the winter, while controlling sticky excess humidity during humid Ontario summers.

Ventilation Systems (HRV & ERV)

Heat Recovery Ventilators and Energy Recovery Ventilators bring in fresh outdoor air while recovering thermal energy. They eliminate stale air, lingering odours, and excess moisture in tightly sealed modern homes.

FAQs About Indoor Air Quality

Why is indoor air quality often worse during Ontario winters?

During cold winter months, homes in Burlington and surrounding areas are sealed shut to keep heat in. Without adequate fresh air ventilation or humidity control, dust mites, pet dander, viruses, and dry air accumulate, causing dry skin, static electricity, and sinus discomfort.

What is the difference between an HRV and an ERV ventilator?

A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) exchanges stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while transferring heat energy. An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) transfers both heat and moisture, making ERVs particularly effective for balancing humidity in our region during both hot summers and cold winters.

How do whole-home humidifiers help lower winter heating bills?

Moist air holds heat better than dry air. By maintaining proper relative humidity (around 35% to 45%) during winter, your home feels warmer at lower thermostat settings, helping you save on monthly gas bills.

How do whole-home humidifiers help lower winter heating bills?

Are thick media filters better than standard one-inch furnace filters?

Absolutely. Standard one-inch fiberglass filters are primarily designed to protect your furnace blower motor from large debris rather than clean the air you breathe. Thick media filters capture much smaller particles like fine dust, pollen, and pet dander. Because they have a significantly larger surface area, they also last longer and allow for better airflow, keeping your heating and cooling equipment running efficiently.

Do whole-home humidifiers require regular maintenance?

Yes. To keep your humidifier running safely and efficiently, the internal water panel or humidifier pad needs to be replaced at least once a year, typically right before the winter heating season begins. We also recommend having our technicians inspect the unit during your annual furnace tune-up to ensure there are no water leaks or hard water mineral blockages.

What is the best air quality solution for homes with multiple pets?

If you have dogs or cats, managing pet dander and shedding is a constant battle. We highly recommend upgrading to a high-capacity media filter to capture loose hair and airborne dander, combined with a whole-home air purification system to safely neutralize lingering pet odours before they circulate through your ductwork and living spaces.

The technician (Josh) from ABW just performed the annual maintenance review on my fireplace and as always, the service was fast and efficient and the tech went above and beyond to make sure everything was all set for this winter.
