Regardless of whether anyone in your household has allergies, asthma, or some other respiratory condition, strive to maintain high indoor air quality. Everyone deserves to breathe easy at home, and with the help of an HVAC contractor, your whole family will. Here are some of the most effective, contractor-approved strategies for improving air quality inside a dwelling.

3 Tips for Improving Indoor Air Quality

1. Devise a Cleaning Schedule 

Keeping a relatively clean home prevents dust, dirt, dander, and other debris from accumulating on surfaces and getting kicked into the air when disturbed. Create a manageable chore schedule that includes vacuuming the carpets, dusting all horizontal surfaces, and washing bedding and drapes regularly.

The filters in your HVAC system trap all kinds of contaminants and particulates so that they don’t circulate throughout the house. To ensure they're as effective as possible — and your system is as efficient as possible — change these filters periodically. The frequency depends on the size of your house and the number of occupants. Generally, swap or clean filters every one to two months. Ask your HVAC contractor to clean the ducts as needed; this eliminates any debris that happened to get past the filters.

3. Install a Ventilator System

If anyone in your home is especially sensitive to airborne contaminants, installing a ventilator can be a sound investment. These systems replace stale air with fresh air from outside, but they do so without affecting the interior temperature. Your HVAC contractor can help you determine which ventilator system meets your family’s needs.
