You won\u2019t find a more committed or thorough team better equipped to maximize your comfort at home\u2014call us today to address your needs! Here are some key ways you can start improving your indoor air quality this fall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install a whole-home humidifier<\/a> and\/or whole-home dehumidifier<\/a>.<\/strong>
    Fall weather means less air conditioning (AC) is needed to keep cool\u2014but this can also lead to inadequate humidity levels inside your home. Ideal humidity levels fall within the range of 30 to 50 percent.

    Inadequate humidity levels can result in respiratory issues and worsen both asthma and allergy symptoms. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology,     24 million people are affected by asthma\u2014while allergies are classified as the sixth leading cause of chronic illness<\/a>.

    If your home feels too dry, a whole-home humidifier could provide the appropriate balance. Similarly, a whole-home dehumidifier could assist by preventing your home from becoming overly humid.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Replace or clean your HVAC filter routinely.
    <\/strong>It\u2019s critical to replace disposable HVAC     filters<\/a> (and clean off washable versions) at least every 30 to 90 days. Filters trap particles, but if you don\u2019t routinely change your filter, you\u2019ll end up breathing in all of the captured dust, dirt, and debris. Not only will a dirty filter result in poor indoor air quality, but it also prevents your HVAC system from operating at full capacity.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Open your windows for ventilation.<\/strong>
    <\/strong>Prop open your windows for a few minutes every day if possible. Proper ventilation helps dilute any lingering bacteria and viruses by inviting fresher air inside and pushing stale air out. As a result, your indoor air will be cleaner and safer for you to breathe.

    <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Clean your home regularly.<\/strong>
    <\/strong>Routine cleaning helps eliminate surface contaminants on your floors, countertops, tables, windowsills, and fixtures. Dust, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and viruses easily collect in these areas of your home, negatively impacting your air quality. Counteract this by dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping regularly.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Schedule a duct cleaning service.
    <\/strong>No matter how clean you keep your home, failing to have your     air ducts<\/a> professionally cleaned could lead to you breathing in dust and various particles. If you suffer from allergies or asthma, don\u2019t continue exposing yourself to triggers throughout your home\u2014opt for a duct cleaning. A professional duct cleaning helps ensure allergens are kept at bay and encourages cleaner indoor air quality since your HVAC airflow circulates through ductwork to various areas of your home.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Opt for routine professional HVAC maintenance.
    <\/strong>Schedule a professional HVAC     maintenance<\/a> visit at least once a year. Planned maintenance not only ensures your system runs efficiently\u2014it also allows our team to catch any issues that could compromise your system and indoor air quality. Plus, an annual tune-up helps restore your system so that you can count on it when you need it most.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
