You may find yourself spending more time inside this winter while it’s cold outdoors, so ensure you’re breathing clean air. Your indoor air quality can dip if you haven’t been taking care of your HVAC system, and if you have allergies, it can create health complications. Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can improve the air quality, such as scheduling an air quality inspection.

3 Ways to Improve Air Quality in Your Home

1. Change the Filters

air-quality-inspection-wilson-heating-incAir filters gather dust, debris, allergens, and more. When they become too clogged, they no longer trap particles, allowing them to circulate through your home. Some substances, like mold, pose a serious risk to those with allergies. To prevent this, check your air filters once a month and change them out as needed. You may also want to schedule a duct cleaning for an even deeper cleanse.

2. Ventilate

Your home will need fresh air from time to time, which is why you need to ventilate. However, since it’s cold outside, many people don’t want to keep windows open. Use bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans regularly, and crack windows while you’re away to allow fresh air in. If you notice signs of mold growth or musty-smelling air, install an in-window air exchange system to promote better ventilation.

3. Schedule an Air Quality Inspection

Some aspects of air quality may not be easy to detect. To ensure all bases are covered, schedule an air quality inspection. HVAC contractors will use sophisticated sensors to detect any issues and offer professional solutions. It’s a great time for them to also inspect your HVAC system to ensure that everything is running efficiently.
