Common Indoor Air Quality Emergency Issues We Fix in Sooke, BC

We have an indoor air quality contractor on call 24/7 in case of emergencies in Sooke, BC and the surrounding area. What qualifies as an emergency? Call us to check, and our expert will talk you through your next steps.

In general, you may have an indoor air quality emergency if:

You have at-risk people at home, like those with asthma and severe allergies.
Your HVAC system breaks down and cannot filter the air.
An electrical issue might cause a fire.
There is a refrigerant leak.
There are cracks in a gas-powered furnace system.

Our team members will tell you what to do before they arrive. If you think there’s a gas leak, get everyone out of your house. Where possible, open the windows and doors on your way out, but don’t let that delay your evacuation.

Don’t use any electrical appliances or switch on your car. Call us from outside the building, as using any device can cause a spark that will ignite the gas. If you can wait in the house, clear a pathway to the appliance so we can get right to work.

Benefits of Installing an Air Cleaner in Your Vancouver Island Home

There are several benefits to improving your indoor air quality with our services. These include:

Better air quality makes it easier for asthmatics to breathe.

A better smell inside the building.

Faster dispersion of cooking smells and cigarette smoke.

Fewer airborne pathogens can cause illness.

Indoor Air Quality Systems We Install in British Columbia, Canada

You can choose any of the following systems:

Whole-home systems offer you the highest level of protection and scrub any air coming into the building. These systems require ducts and are the most expensive but produce the best results overall.

Portable air cleaners do a reasonably good job but cannot clean an entire home. You would need at least one unit per room, so the running and maintenance costs add up quickly.

Ozone generators clean the air using oxidation and so reduce pollution. They are highly effective but are also not as good as whole-home systems.

Your Air Filtration Options in Greater Victoria

At Sasquatch Home Services, we will discuss the best filter for your needs during our consultation. Our team of trusted technicians can install one or more types of filters to keep your indoor air clean:

Ionic filters: are inexpensive and use ions to capture dust, smoke, and allergies. If someone in your household smokes, these are ideal.

HEPA filters: are the most effective at removing particles from dust and bacteria to pet dander. If you have allergies or asthma, this type of filter makes the air inside the home safer for you to breathe.

UV filters: kill various types of microorganisms, so they are a good idea if you’re concerned about disease.

Carbon filters: are inexpensive and absorb fumes and odours. They are not as effective at removing pathogens.

We Make Air Cleaner, Purifier, and Filtration System Maintenance a Breeze

When it comes to maintaining your new system, what you need to do depends on the model you choose. We recommend you call our indoor air quality services for a proactive tune-up once or twice a year.

Our maintenance services will extend the lifespan of your system and keep it in optimal condition.

If you have a portable unit, we’ll vacuum the outside panels to get rid of dust.

We can check your filters every three to six months, especially if they are HEPA filters.

If you have a UV filter, we’ll change the bulbs in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Any system you have will benefit from regular dusting and checking for blocks in drains where necessary.
