Poor indoor air quality can cause various health issues that range from mild symptoms, like headaches and fatigue, to more serious conditions, such as asthma and allergies. Fortunately, you can take several simple steps to improve indoor air quality (IAQ). Let’s take a closer look at the actions you can take.
Air Purifiers
Investing in an air purifier is one of the best ways to improve indoor air quality. Air purifiers pass dirty air through a filter that traps dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and other pollutants. Some air purifiers also feature UV lights that help kill bacteria and viruses. When shopping for an air purifier, choosing the right size for the room you want to use it in is crucial to the unit’s effectiveness.
Invest in Dehumidifiers
Dehumidifiers decrease humidity levels, which reduces dust mites, mold growth, and musty odors. They work by pulling in humid air, removing the water vapor, and recirculating dry air back into the room.
Change Your Furnace Filter Regularly
To maintain optimal indoor air quality, change the filter on your HVAC system on a regular basis. In fact, you should change your filters at least every one to three months for average homes, although this may vary based on household size. Changing filters ensures that any built-up dirt, allergens, or dust are removed before recirculating through your ventilation system, keeping your indoor environment cleaner overall!
