How to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Monday, August 11th, 2014

It can be disappointing indeed to crank up your AC or heater only to find that the air coming out of the ductwork stinks, or to see a plume of dust circulate throughout the home. Whether you’re sensitive to allergies or not, there are several good reasons to improve your indoor air quality: health, comfort, and to avoid long-term damage to sensitive wood furnishings, flooring and painted walls. As a leading provider of AC services in Boerne, TX, we have a lot of experience when it comes to finding solutions to indoor air problems.

The first step to improving your indoor air quality is recognizing that there is a problem in the first place. There are some signs to look out for when it comes to spotting air quality issues. For example, take stock of how your air smells. If it smells funky or stale, then you may have excessive amounts of dust and other debris circulating throughout the home. If you notice that dust and other debris regularly accumulate on stationary objects, then you may want to consider an air filter or purifier. If you notice condensation on windows or in plumbed areas of the home such as the kitchen or bathroom, then you may want to think about tweaking your humidity levels to avoid moisture-related issues. The same goes for signs of low humidity, such as dry skin and nosebleeds.

Once you recognize the signs, now you can do something about it. While portable indoor air quality devices have their place, they simply cannot match the power and efficiency of whole house models. Airborne contaminants and pollutants are best dealt with by an air filtration system, electronic air purifier or UV air purifier, the latter of which uses ultraviolet light to destroy biological contaminants such as mold, mildew and bacteria. If you want to adjust your humidity levels, whether up or down, then a humidifier and/or a dehumidifier is your best bet. Such devices give you unprecedented control over the moisture content of your indoor air.

Let our indoor air quality specialists in Boerne, TX guide you every step of the way. We use only high quality equipment and we can make certain that your home has what it needs for excellent indoor air quality.
