With temperatures and weather conditions constantly in flux, homeowners will rely on their residential HVAC systems to provide a comfortable oasis from the outdoors. HVAC contractors encourage all customers to prioritize maintenance to avoid breakdowns as well as health issues. If you’re putting off HVAC repair, here are a few reasons to schedule an appointment to keep your family healthy. 

3 Ways Residential HVAC Systems Affect Your Health

1. Productivity

Indoor temperatures have a direct impact on one’s productivity. Studies have found that women improve performance in both math and verbal tasks when rooms are slightly warmer. Men, in contrast, are more productive when their rooms are a bit cooler. Having a properly functioning residential HVAC unit allows you to stay on task, tackle chores, and stay motivated so your days keep moving. 

2. Allergies & Wellness

During the year, dust, debris, pet dander, and allergens can build up in your HVAC system and air filters. If left unattended, this can exacerbate allergy symptoms and asthma as well as increase your risk of getting sick. To avoid coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and discomfort when at home, swap air filters every season and schedule a comprehensive duct cleaning annually. 

3. General Comfort

A poorly maintained residential HVAC system not only uses more energy but also has a harder time cooling a room to your needs. In turn, you’ll feel uncomfortable in your own home when certain rooms are too hot.
