Did you know that the air inside your home can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside? Poor indoor air quality can hurt your health by causing allergies, breathing problems, and other problems. At 99 Services, we’re committed to helping our customers breathe easy with improved indoor air quality. Here are some tips and strategies for improving the air quality in your home.
Change Air Filters Regularly
Air filters play a crucial role in maintaining good indoor air quality. Dirty filters can cause air pollutants to circulate throughout your home, leading to respiratory issues and allergies. Regularly changing your air filters is an easy way to improve indoor air quality.
Install Air Purification Systems
Pollutants and allergens can make your home’s air unhealthy, but air purification systems can get rid of them. There are several types of air purification systems available, including HEPA filters, UV-C lights, and activated carbon filters. A professional HVAC technician can help you determine which system is right for your home.
Keep humidity levels stable.
Humidity levels that are too high or too low can lead to mould growth, musty odours, and respiratory issues. Maintaining proper humidity levels is essential for good indoor air quality. A whole-home dehumidifier or humidifier can help regulate humidity levels and prevent mould growth.
Keep Your Home Clean
The air in your home can get full of dust, dirt, and pet dander, which can cause breathing problems and allergies. Cleaning your home regularly, like by vacuuming the carpets, dusting the surfaces, and washing the bedding, can help improve the quality of the air inside.
Increase Ventilation
Proper ventilation is essential for good indoor air quality. Opening windows or using a whole-house ventilation system can help circulate fresh air throughout your home, reducing the concentration of pollutants and allergens in the air.
Plan HVAC maintenance
Regular HVAC maintenance is essential for maintaining good indoor air quality. A professional HVAC technician can inspect your system, clean the ductwork, and recommend improvements to improve air quality.
