Flu season is still in full swing and the numbers of sick people across the country is at a decade-long record high. Allergy season will arrive soon too, so it’s important to think about how your indoor air quality plays a part in both of those things. Springtime brings sun, warmer weather, and the promise of longer days, and it’s the ideal time to elevate your indoor air quality to ensure you have a healthy home or business environment. Consider these important tips.
Add an Air Purification System
Clean air matters and can help you live a longer, healthier life! Unfortunately, mold, bacteria, allergens, and other viruses float through the air you breathe. But, there’s good news! You can defend yourself against those nasty particles with an air purification system. Two of our most popular products are the REME Halo In-Duct Purifier and the Carrier Infinity Air Purifier. Both of these outstanding products eliminate airborne pathogens, working alongside your existing HVAC system. You will probably notice a difference in your air quality right away, too! They don’t take long to install and a a great investment into your healthy future.
Avoid Indoor Air Pollutants
Candles, cleaning products, air fresheners, and sprays can all be harmful to your indoor air quality. Avoid using these things all the time and instead, use non-toxic cleaning products or beeswax candles instead of chemical candles. Increase ventilation, too, by running fans in kitchens and bathrooms, open doors and windows on warm days, and if the air is damp, use a dehumidifier.
Stay On Top of Air Filter Changes
Air filters aren’t out there in the open, but they have a huge job! Changing them is a simple task, but many times, it’s forgotten about. Be sure to add this to-do to your list this spring. It takes just a couple of minutes and will bolster your indoor air quality immediately. If you forget, the filter will build up with dust, debris, dirt, pet dander, and other particles that will make their way through the ductwork and into the air you breathe. We recommend changing or cleaning air filters in your furnace, AC, or heat pump bi-monthly, or more often, if you own pets. Our professional HVAC maintenance will go even further by inspecting, cleaning, and tuning all parts for maximum efficiency and even more indoor air quality improvement.
So, as we look toward the bluer skies of spring, think about how you can make your indoor air quality cleaner! If it’s time to replace your old, inefficient furnace or air conditioner, let us help!
