Indoor Air Quality

When you think about air pollution, you might focus on outside conditions. However, you spend more time inside and the quality of indoor air directly impacts your everyday life, health, and comfort. Smoke, mold spores, bacteria, dander, viruses, dust, and all sorts of contaminants get trapped in tightly sealed homes.

How Seasonal Maintenance Helps with Indoor Air Quality

Keeping your heating and cooling equipment in top shape helps it run efficiently and last longer. But on top of that, it’s great for your indoor air quality.
Before the start of the season, your expert will check for issues like a cracked heat exchanger or a refrigerant leak. Doing so helps ensure no pollutants are entering your home. Your technician can also inspect your ducts for excess dust or pest infestation.
For your health and safety, they will clean the condensate drain, coils, and other components that tend to get dirty. Finally, maintenance allows your heat pump or air conditioner to regulate humidity at peak capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are Common Factors That Impact Indoor Air Quality?
The air we breathe has a massive number of particles. Many are harmless, but others are not. Mold, dander, and other irritants can trigger respiratory symptoms for people with allergies or asthma.
Common signs of poor IAQ include:
  • Poor ventilation
  • Damp environment
  • Pest infestation
The air filter in your furnace, air conditioners (AC), or heat pump helps boost IAQ by catching dust and debris that pass through it. That’s why it’s important to change your air filter at least every 90 days—more so if you have pets or someone with respiratory issues in your home.
A neglected filter will become clogged and begin to lose its filtration abilities. Additionally, your HVAC system will provide weaker ventilation. This means standing water will dry much slower, inviting mildew and mold.
Poor indoor air quality affects different people in different ways. For instance, a resident with a mold allergy will likely fare worse in a damp home. The symptoms can also vary based on what type of contaminants are in the air.
You or other members of your household may experience:
  • Coughing
  • Congestion and nosebleeds
  • Sore throat
  • Sneezing
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
In the dead of winter here in Colorado, the weather can get pretty dry. Humidifiers provide a counterbalance, adding humidity to the air for increased comfort.
Does the air in your home feel dry? Here are some signs:
  • Chapped lips or dry skin
  • Nosebleeds, congestion and worsened cold symptoms
  • Damaged wood furniture, floors, or instruments
Whether you need a whole-house humidifier or a portable one for one part of your home, our experts can help you find the perfect anecdote.
