Why Indoor Air Quality Is Important

We all know about the threats of pollution in the seas and in the air outdoors, but what about poor indoor air quality? You spend a considerable amount of your time indoors, whether at home or in the office, so it is important to know the air quality is not putting you at any risk. A properly installed HVAC system will do a lot to keep that air quality clean, but there are things you must do as well. In this article brought to you by Rooter Hero, we will go over some of the basics of indoor air quality. If you are looking for a local HVAC company or AC contractors, then feel free to call Rooter Hero. We are happy to schedule a flexible appointment or arrange an emergency repair today. Our live representatives and dedicated technicians are on standby for your call.

Causes of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Keep the windows and doors shut and you will be safe from the outdoor pollutants, right? Well, not at all. Not only is that idea not practical, but it also creates more problems. While keeping windows and doors closed can decrease the amount of air pollutants coming in, it will also keep your living space stuffy. Stuffy and humid areas are prime real estate for mold and mildew growth!

The causes of poor indoor air quality are many, but let’s go over some of the common ones:

  • Smoke
  • Pollen
  • Mold
  • Pet dander
  • Dust
  • Oil and fat particulates from cooking
  • Paint and applied chemicals
  • Cleaning chemicals

While there are many threats to your air quality, there is also a lot you can do to combat these risks. Most importantly, you should invest in proper ventilation.

What To Do About Poor Indoor Air Quality

If you are finding yourself regularly sneezing indoors, or if you simply realize the air inside makes it hard to breathe, then you might have poor air quality. Here are some ways to improve indoor air quality:

  • Change Dirty Air Filters: We recommend homeowners replace the filter once every two or three months. A dirty air filter can damage the HVAC system and add dust and filth to the air.
  • Clean Air Ducts: If you have not been changing air filters, then the air ducts might be filled with debris. Clean these out regularly or call Rooter Hero to have a technician do it safely.
  • Schedule Routine Maintenance: Your HVAC system has many, many parts that work together. Each part should be working if the whole system is to work properly. Schedule routine maintenance to ensure all components are clean, effective, and efficient.
