Indoor air pollution is more concentrated than outdoor air pollution and contains over 100 indoor chemicals that can be hazardous to your health, including asbestos, benzene, and pesticides. Fortunately, there are ways to improve the quality of the air inside your home. BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air shares tips below:
1. Increase Air Circulation
While you might like the warmth and security of having a couple of extra blankets or a heavy duvet during the cold weather, doing so can trap your indoor air in the room, becoming stagnant and potentially harmful to your health. Rather than laying out an extra blanket on your bed, try using an electric blanket. An HVAC contractor in Colorado Springs, CO, can help you to cool off during the summer or heat your living area during the winter by circulating warm air from your furnace throughout your home.
2. Improve Your Ventilation System
Improve your home’s ventilation by installing a whole-house ventilation system like an energy-efficient heat recovery ventilator (ERV) or air-to-air heat exchanger. These systems will increase indoor fresh air flow and provide a more efficient heating and cooling system. Scheduling HVAC repair when necessary also helps improve the airflow in your home.
3. Check Your HVAC Filters
HVAC maintenance should be a part of your regular household routine. Checking your filters at least once a month and replacing them when they become dirty can prevent the accumulation of airborne contaminants in your home.
4. Invest in HVAC Indoor Air Quality Products
HVAC installation may keep you cool in the summer or warm during the winter, but it doesn’t improve the air quality inside your home. However, HVAC products like UV lights and air purifiers can improve indoor air quality and make you feel healthier.
