Learning About Indoor Air Quality

It might not be something homeowners have to think about often, but the quality of the air they breathe is extremely important for their overall health. If the home's air quality isn't the best, they could end up sick. 

HVAC systems don't require a lot of day-to-day attention, but they need maintenance now and then. It's important to have the HVAC system regularly serviced to ensure proper air quality. There are also other appliances homeowners can buy to increase air quality. 

Facts About Indoor Air Quality

Homeowners might not be able to control it outside, but indoor air quality is easily controlled. However, they have to keep up on the maintenance of their heating and air conditioning units first. If the appliances aren't working efficiently, it can cause many problems, including those that affect air quality. 

When the air quality in a home is poor, it can lead to all kinds of illnesses, including: 

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Respiratory problems
  • Sore throat
  • Trouble breathing

Not only that, but it can even worsen the symptoms of heart disease, cause mold growth, and even impact sleep. Most homeowners spend a big chunk of their time indoors, making it that much more important to ensure the air quality is the best it can be. 

Tips For Improving the Air Quality

One of the easiest ways to maintain air quality is with regular professional maintenance on the HVAC system. It is recommended to call in an expert at least once a year to ensure the system is running as it should. 

Aside from calling in a professional for maintenance and tune-ups, homeowners can also replace the air filter routinely. This will not only encourage better air quality, but it will also help to extend the life of the air conditioner. 

A few other things they can try to help improve air quality are: 

  • Control the humidity with a humidifier or dehumidifier
  • Keep rugs and carpets clean
  • Maintain the air ducts
  • Purchase house plants 

The Benefits of Air Purifiers & UV Air Sanitizers

UV Air sanitizers provide relief to areas of the home prone to poor smells, like the bathroom. Homeowners can also use them to freshen up stagnant air in the home. However, UV air sanitizers do not necessarily improve the overall air quality on their own. 

Those who want something that will improve air quality aside from regular HVAC maintenance and filter changes, try investing in an air purifier. This appliance does exactly what it says. It's equipped with an air filter and helps remove bacteria and impurities from the home's air. 

Some of the benefits associated with an air purifier are: 

  • Relieves odors
  • Reduces allergies and asthmas symptoms
  • Avoid sore throats
  • Helps fight against eye irritation
