How to improve indoor air quality

The air in our homes is crucial to our health, and the health of our families.

Unfortunately, the air that we breathe can be full of pollutants that can cause allergies, respiratory disease, and more. Here are some ways that you can improve the purity of the air inside your home. Frequently changing your air filter is a great way to improve the quality of air inside your home. Your air filter works to remove many of the airborne pollutants in your home such as pet hair, dust, and pollen. OVer time, your air filter will become clogged and unable to properly filter pollutants out of the air in your home. For the best indoor air quality, most HVAC professionals recommend changing your air filter every 30 to 60 days. Another way to improve the air quality inside your home is to use an air purifier. Air purifiers work to remove pollutants in the air not captured by your air filter. Air purifiers come in two main configurations, the first type, portable air purifiers, can be plugged into any room, and work to purify the air in just that room. Portable air purifiers require much less of an initial investment. The other main type of air purifier is permanent, and is installed in-line with your HVAC system in order to purify the air throughout your entire home. While they may be more effective, permanent air purifiers are much more expensive, and require a slightly more invasive installation. If you are looking to improve the quality of the air inside your home, contact your local HVAC company today to see if an air purifier is right for you!
