Air quality is a serious matter, and it is no secret that the air we breathe has become more toxic than ever before. The pollution levels in most major cities are off the charts, and people who live in those regions are being exposed to pollutants on a daily basis.

The quality of air inside your own home is just as important as the air outside, and even more so if you have children or pets at home. There are many things you can do to improve indoor air quality, but first, you need to know how to check the quality of air from your AC unit.

Why You Should Be Worrying About Your AC Filters.

You know how you’re always taking care of your health? You’re making sure to exercise regularly and eat your vegetables. You’ve probably even had your blood tested for some basic markers to make sure that everything is going well with your health.

This is great – but have you ever considered the air that you breathe? Have you ever thought about what the air in your home is doing to your health? If not, this article is for you.

When it comes down to it, we can’t always be sure what’s going on with our health.

How to Check the Quality of Air from your Air Conditioning: 

You need to know the quality of air in your home, and you want to do it without investing in expensive equipment. You can do it!

There are several indicators that will tell you whether your indoor air is safe and healthy, but one of the most important indicators is dust. It’s almost impossible to avoid dust completely, but there are ways to minimize it.

But how do you tell if you have too much dust? There are a few simple steps to follow:

Step 1) Purchase a very good particle counter – a device that measures the concentration of airborne particles in a room. There are several models available, and they vary in price. I have used the one shown below for years and it works great. It has a sensor that measures particles in a range of 0 to 10 microns (1/10th of a millimetre). This is the most common particle size found indoors. The particle counter will also measure larger particles (10 to 100 microns) but those are usually outdoor particles that have been carried indoors by air currents.

Step 2) Set the particle counter on a shelf or table in your home and let it run for several days. You will want to do this during the duration you spend most of your time in the room, preferably at least 4 hours per day. 

Step 3) Take the particle counter outside and set it on a shelf or table for several days. You will want to do this during the duration you spend most of your time in the room, preferably at least 4 hours per day.

Step 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 in different rooms. If you are measuring air quality indoors, repeat steps 2 and 3 outdoors as well. In order to properly measure indoor air quality, you need to take readings from both inside and outside of the building. If you are measuring air quality outdoors, you need to take readings both inside and outside of the building.

Step 5) Take a measurement of your room’s temperature. To get an accurate reading, use a thermometer that is placed approximately one foot from the floor in the centre of the room. The temperature should be measured with all lights on and windows closed during normal working hours (the time when the highest concentration of pollutants is usually present).

Step 6) Calculate the amount of air pollution your building produces by multiplying the square footage of your office space by its air exchange rate. This will give you the total cubic feet per minute (CFM) of pollutants that are produced in your office space. Multiply this number by 1,000 to convert it into tons per year.

Step 7) Multiply the temperature reading taken in Step 5 by 0.076 to determine how many tons of carbon dioxide the air conditioner has removed from the room.

Step 8) Divide the total number of tons of carbon dioxide removed by the hours that the air conditioner was running to determine how many pounds of carbon dioxide per hour have been removed from the room. For example, if the air conditioner removed 50 pounds of carbon dioxide from the room over an 8-hour period, then 0.6 pounds of carbon dioxide per hour were removed.

Step 9) Multiply the number of pounds of carbon dioxide per hour by the number of hours that you plan to run your air conditioner to determine how many tons of carbon dioxide will be removed from your home during the time period. For example, if you plan to run your air conditioner for five hours, you will remove 2.2 tons of carbon dioxide from your home during that time period.
