When it comes to comfort at home, we often think about temperature—but what about the air you’re breathing?


According to the EPA, indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. From pet dander to mold spores, poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can contribute to allergies, asthma, headaches, fatigue, and long-term respiratory issues.

Here’s what you need to know to take control of your home’s air—and how Apex HVAC can help.


What’s in Your Air?


Common indoor air pollutants include:


  • Dust mites

  • Pollen

  • Pet dander

  • Mold spores

  • Bacteria & viruses

  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products and paints

These invisible invaders can worsen health issues and make your home feel less comfortable—especially in a Florida climate, where humidity plays a major role in indoor air quality.
