Imagine spending a cozy winter evening inside your house, sipping hot cocoa, and then suddenly start sneezing or feeling dizzy. You might not be aware, but indoor air quality plays a significant role in our everyday lives. With winter approaching, we spend more time indoors, which makes it even more crucial to ensure that the air quality inside our homes is up to par.
Three Signs to Determine if Your Indoor Air Quality is Poor
- Your Health
Your health can be a telltale sign that your indoor air quality is poor. Do you have any recent health conditions? Respiratory symptoms may start presenting themselves as a result of poor indoor air quality. Some signs to keep in mind are frequent headaches, fatigue, dizziness, coughing, and sneezing. Breathing in pollutants and fine particles send those not only through the respiratory system naturally but also to the circulatory system. If you suspect poor indoor air quality, pay close attention to your health.
- HVAC Systems
If your HVAC system is running inefficiently, it could be another sign of poor indoor air quality. Some common signs are the inability to control the temperature in the home correctly, large amounts of dust particles left floating in the air, and increased humidity levels. If the filters in your HVAC system are dirty or clogged, the unit won’t be able to collect the dust particles in your home. It would be best to have it serviced if your HVAC system is running inefficiently because you could be compromising your indoor air quality.
- Mold and Mildew
The presence of mold in your home can significantly compromise the quality of air in your personal environment. Mold produces mold spores that travel in your home’s air, acting as an allergen impacting your health. Utilizing an air purifier in your home can help to improve the air you breathe in and eliminate air pollutants in your home. Look for an air purifier that uses a two-stage filtration process with natural technology that doesn’t produce added chemicals into the air and utilizes a hospital-grade HEPA filter to remove fine particulates from your home’s air.
Tips for Better Indoor Air Quality
To ensure that your indoor air quality is up to par, follow these simple tips:
- Change your air filters on your HVAC system regularly. If your system is having issues, have it serviced.
- Opt for more natural cleaning products and remove harsh chemicals from your cleaning routine.
- Ensure proper cleanup and disposal of all animal urine and feces to avoid staining or getting stuck in your carpet.
- Open your windows and allow fresh air to come in and move stagnant air out of the house. This will help with air circulation and move air particles out of your home.
Making eco-friendly changes will not only help you become a greener cleaner, but it will also significantly improve your indoor air quality. Once you have made some practical, easy changes, you’ll have better air quality for a winter spent enjoying the festivities rather than dealing with poor air quality issues.
