Indoor air quality has a direct impact on your health and comfort. The air inside your home can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, and much of that is due to how your HVAC system operates. While we often focus on heating and cooling, maintaining good air quality requires a few good habits—like changing your filters regularly.
How HVAC Systems Affect Indoor Air Quality
Your HVAC system circulates air throughout your home, which means it’s also circulating dust, allergens, and other particles. Over time, without proper maintenance, your system can contribute to poor air quality by allowing these contaminants to build up. Make certain that your HVAC system is clean and well-maintained to help improve the air you breathe and make your home a healthier space.
The Importance of Regular Filter Changes
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain good air quality is to regularly change your HVAC filters. Filters trap dust, allergens, and other particles before they enter your living space. But, a clogged or dirty filter can’t do its job properly and ends up making your system work harder. Experts recommend changing your filters every 1-3 months, depending on your home’s conditions.
Other Tips for Maintaining Healthy Air
In addition to changing your HVAC filters, routine HVAC inspections will check to see that your system runs smoothly, catching small issues before they become major problems. Air duct cleaning is also important. A proper duct cleaning, like the professionals at Schwickert’s do, helps eliminate built-up dust, allergens, and contaminants from your ducts. Finally, many homes add a whole-home air purifier for an added layer of protection, actively providing a cleaner, healthier environment.
Be proactive! Improve the air quality in your home.
