Good indoor air quality helps to keep your home clean and your family healthy. However, poor air filtration can compromise your immune system, especially those experiencing asthma and allergies. From replacing your filters to investing in houseplants, there are several ways to ensure the air you breathe is fresh. 

How Can You Improve the Quality of the Air in Your Home? 

1. Inspect Your Air Ducts

Air ducts provide a comfortable temperature for your home all year long. Over time, the ducts will collect dust, pollen, mildew, and mold. This negatively affects the air quality in your home, especially if you’re prone to allergies. 

If you aren’t comfortable inspecting them yourself, reach out to an HVAC technician who will check, clean, and repair any damage to your ducts. 

2. Replace Your Air Conditioner Filters

Your AC also works as an air filtration system, ensuring that outdoor pollutants do not enter your home. Eventually, the filters become clogged. This decreases your indoor air quality and will also wear down the motor of the AC itself. 

To provide the best quality of air, change your filters regularly. If you don’t have pets, you should change them every 90 days. For those with pets, their dander can cause a build-up in the filters, so they should be replaced every 60 days. For those with allergies, respiratory issues, or multiple pets, change the filters every 20 to 45 days. 

3. Use Air Cleaners

Air cleaners provide extra support to filters by removing pollutants from your home that can trigger asthma attacks like dirt, dust, and cooking smoke. They also remove allergens like pet dander, cigarette smoke, dust mites, and pollen. 

Depending on the different models, these cleaners can be placed in every room. 

However, there are larger versions that provide more coverage. The Acclimate™ model from Luxaire® is attached to your existing HVAC system and provides improved air quality throughout the house. 

4. Buy Indoor Plants

Houseplants not only brighten up your home, but they also help keep the air clean of contaminants. Snake plants release clean oxygen at night, spider plants remove toxins and are safe for pets, and aloe vera purifies the air of common household chemicals.
