Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a primary concern for many homeowners—and for good reason. The air in many homes is filled with pollutants like dust, pet dander, mold spores and other types of unhealthy debris. Not only can this make your home smell less than pleasant, but it can also have a negative impact on your health. Fortunately, there are lots of ways you can reduce pollution in your home and improve IAQ in the process. With seasonal allergens on the rise, here are three easy ways you can improve the indoor air quality in your home this fall.
1. Change Your Air Filters Regularly
Air filters remove many of the pollutants that circulate throughout your home. But when air filters are dirty, they aren’t as effective, which means that more particles will be in the air that you and your loved ones breathe. Make sure to change the air filter each month before it becomes saturated with dust and other particles.
2. Invest in a High-Quality Filtration System
Some homeowners will purchase an advanced air filtration system. This may be particularly beneficial for homes with allergy sufferers or if people in your home have other respiratory conditions and ailments. Your HVAC technician can help you explore your options in greater detail so that you make the best decision about the equipment to buy.
3. Schedule Annual HVAC Maintenance with a Professional Company
Components within your HVAC system can get dirty over time, which can impact indoor air quality in your home. But an easy step to take in improving IAQ is to schedule annual HVAC maintenance service with a professional technician. HVAC maintenance typically includes a comprehensive inspection and tune-up for your unit, which can restore it to like-new condition through cleaning, fluid replacement, calibrations and other related steps.
