Indoor Air Quality in Elgin: what's different
Indoor Air Quality work in Elgin follows the local climate. Long heating seasons dry indoor air and tight homes can trap pollutants. Humidification, ventilation and sealed ducts in basements and attics are common improvements.
Historic homes often have boilers or older forced-air systems, while west-side homes have gas furnaces and central AC built since the 1990s. Gifford Park and Spring-Douglas Victorians often have tall ceilings, hot-water radiators and small attics, and many have been converted into apartments with separate systems. West-side subdivisions like Bowes Creek are mostly two-story homes with basements and central air.
The indoor air quality services Elgin homeowners ask for most are whole-Home Humidifiers. Bypass and steam humidifiers for dry winter air.
The City of Elgin Community Development Department issues mechanical permits, and ComEd and Nicor Gas have offered efficiency rebates.
