IAQ – Indoor Air Quality

Avoid Sick Building Syndrome With BBJ MicroBiocide

Professional treatment using BBJ MicroBiocide by an HVAC company experienced with eradicating and preventing sick building syndrome issues is just what the doctor ordered for improving the health of your home and its occupants, and for boosting the performance of heating, cooling and ventilation systems.What is sick building syndrome?Sick building syndrome is a term and condition associated with poor indoor air quality (IAQ) that contributes to health ailments and symptoms, such as exacerbated respiratory issues, and repeated exposure to viruses, mold spores, allergens and other airborne contaminants, of unsuspecting household occupants. Moreover, these harmful contaminants accumulate on HVAC equipment which compounds the problem when left unchecked.BBJ MicroBiocideThe same airborne contaminants that circulate through the living spaces, and accumulate on surfaces inside your home are likely accumulating inside the HVAC system. The damp surface of the indoor evaporator coil, air handler components, drainage system and ductwork have a knack for attracting a host of airborne contaminants, and nurturing their growth and proliferation.BBJ MicroBiocide is a professional-grade treatment solution applied to the surfaces of HVAC components. These are the benefits of using BBJ MicroBiocide:

  • Helps prevent mold, mildew, bacteria and viruses from attaching to surfaces, growing and spreading through the living spaces

  • Reduces allergies and respiratory issues associated with organic compounds

  • Improves heating and cooling performance by maintaining contaminant-free surfaces, which promotes free heat exchange at the evaporator coil, resulting in lower energy bills and longer system lifespan

  • Enhances airflow through the duct system

  • Helps eliminate drainage issues which could cause water damage inside a home

  • Inhibits rust and corrosion of system components

Professional preventive maintenanceProfessional preventive maintenance is vital for maintaining peak performance and health of HVAC systems. When organic and inorganic contaminants accumulate on HVAC components, performance suffers throughout the systems, such as inefficient heat exchange and drainage issues. It's important that you choose an HVAC company that takes specific measures to ensure peak performance from HVAC equipment, and improves IAQ in your home.For more information about the benefits of BBJ MicroBiocide, or to schedule IAQ testing, contact Air Assurance  in the Greater Tulsa Metropolitan area.Our goal is to help educate our customers in the Tulsa and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma area about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems). Image courtesy of Shutterstock
