The Importance of Indoor Air Quality: Breathe Easier at Home

Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a crucial role in your family’s health and comfort. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and decreased HVAC efficiency. Here’s why maintaining good IAQ should be a priority in your home.

1. How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Health

Dust, pet dander, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can trigger allergies and asthma. Common symptoms of poor IAQ include:

• Sneezing and coughing

• Eye, nose, and throat irritation

• Fatigue and headaches

Keeping indoor air clean reduces these risks and creates a healthier living environment.

2. The Role of HVAC in Air Quality

Your HVAC system does more than heat and cool your home—it also filters and circulates air. To ensure your system improves IAQ:

• Change air filters regularly to trap airborne contaminants.

• Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for enhanced filtration.

• Schedule routine duct cleaning to prevent dust buildup.

3. Benefits of Air Purifiers and UV Lights

Installing an air purifier or UV light system can eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, significantly improving indoor air quality.

4. Maintain Proper Humidity Levels

High humidity fosters mold growth and dust mites, while low humidity causes dry skin and respiratory irritation. Keep indoor humidity levels between 30-50% using a dehumidifier or humidifier.

5. Improve Ventilation

Fresh air circulation is essential for maintaining good IAQ. Open windows when possible and ensure your HVAC system includes proper ventilation to remove stale air.
