Why Indoor Air Quality Matters in Montreal
Montreal’s mix of dust, pollen and seasonal humidity can make breathing indoors a challenge. Without the right filtration and ventilation, tiny particles settle in ducts and furniture, aggravating allergies and respiratory issues. Climate Solutions specializes in innovative HVAC strategies to keep your home’s air fresh year-round in the Greater Montreal area.
Common Airborne Pollutants
Indoor irritants include pet dander, mold spores, pollen, dust mites and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In Montreal’s spring and fall, yellowish pollen drifts in through windows, while winter air can be overly dry, promoting dust circulation. Identifying these contaminants is the first step toward cleaner air.
Advanced HVAC Filtration & Purification
Upgrading to a high-efficiency MERV 13 or HEPA filter removes up to 99.7% of particles down to 0.3 microns. For even greater protection, our team can integrate UV-C lamps that neutralize mold and bacteria, and activated carbon filters that eliminate odors and VOCs. Climate Solutions installs and maintains these components to ensure optimal performance in your Montreal residence.
Balanced Ventilation for Harsh Winters
Cold temperatures often lead to sealed homes, trapping stale air inside. A heat-recovery ventilator (HRV) exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while preserving up to 85% of heat energy. This solution maintains comfort, reduces condensation and keeps air moving—even during sub-zero Ottawa-like temperatures.
Practical Tips for Homeowners
- Replace or clean HVAC filters every 3–4 months, or more often during high-pollen season.
- Maintain indoor humidity between 30% and 50% to inhibit mold growth.
- Schedule professional HVAC maintenance annually to detect leaks, calibrate systems and verify airflow.
- Consider a standalone air purifier in bedrooms to capture residual pollen and dust.
