What Pollutants in Your Home Are Causing Poor indoor air quality?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, poor indoor air quality is caused by pollutants in the home:

  • Combustion byproducts such as carbon monoxide
  • Particulate matter, and environmental pollutants
  • Substances of a natural origin such as radon and pet dander
  • Microbiological agents such as molds and mildew
  • Hazardous materials such as pesticides, lead, and asbestos
  • Ozone or other oxidizers (from some air cleaners)
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from building materials and indoor furnishings

And the common effects of exposure to poor indoor air quality may result in:

Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue increases the risk of respiratory infections For the millions of people who suffer from respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD, poor indoor air quality can exacerbate symptoms. For young children, who spend most of their time indoors, exposure to polluted air in the home can lead to the development of respiratory issues.

Clean Ducts Are Essential

Most homeowners don’t take air duct cleaning into consideration when caring for their properties. Out of sight, out of mind! The truth is that keeping your air ducts clean is an essential part of keeping your home running smoothly. Dirt and debris that gathers in your air ducts and on the surface of the HVAC system gets distributed throughout your home whenever you run your heat or air conditioner.

What You Can Do

Cleaning and maintaining your HVAC system and air ducts on a regular basis helps increase energy efficiency and improves indoor air quality.

Other helpful ways to maintain your air duct system between routine cleanings include:

Replace HVAC air filters routinely. Use air filters that fit properly, are high-quality & have the proper MERV rating for your system. Vacuum and dust regularly. Have your HVAC system cleaned and checked each year.
