Breathe Fresh, Clean Air With Better IAQ
Your indoor air quality is very important to your health, but do you know how safe yours is? The average home, because of the enclosed space, is many times more polluted than outdoor air! This goes for many homes in the Parkersburg area.
It’s not always easy to know the quality of your air just by simply looking around. But when you take action against the tiny, harmful particles in your air, you’ll notice the difference!
Indoor Air Quality FAQs
Some of the most effective ways to improve indoor air quality are:
- Reduce pollutants
- Utilize ventilation systems
- Keep your home clean
Minimizing pollutants can be hard when it comes to daily activities like cooking, which is why it is important to use exhaust fans. Additionally, you can open windows to introduce clean air into your home and increase the amount of air circulation. To learn more about improving your indoor air quality, contact us today.
Most indoor air quality problems typically start within your home’s systems. HVAC systems, air ducts and fireplaces can contain pollutants that affect the quality of your indoor air. Mold and dust can accumulate inside your air ducts and HVAC system if they are not properly maintained. Since your indoor air circulates through your HVAC system and air ducts, it can lead to issues with your indoor air quality if there is a mold or dust build up. Additionally, as you use your fireplace each year, it builds up pollutants that can contaminate your indoor air if you do not have it cleaned regularly. To find out more about keeping the systems in your home clean, call us today.
A few signs your indoor air quality is bad include:
- There is excess dust in your indoor air
- There is excess humidity in your indoor air
- There are strange odors within your home
Another way you may be able to tell if your home’s air quality is bad is if you experience health issues like increased allergic reactions or a dry throat. In some cases, your indoor air quality may be bad because there is not enough moisture in your indoor air. To learn about how you can improve your indoor air quality, give us a call today.
Ventilation, humidity, and temperature are all key factors that can significantly impact indoor air quality. Proper ventilation helps dilute and remove airborne pollutants, allergens, and excess moisture. Humidity levels that are too high can promote mold and dust mite growth, while low humidity can cause irritation and static electricity buildup. Extreme temperatures can also affect air circulation and the concentration of certain pollutants. Maintaining ideal ventilation rates, humidity between 30-50%, and moderate temperatures helps create a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment. Monitoring and controlling these environmental conditions is crucial for optimizing indoor air quality.
