How to Improve Springtime Indoor Air Quality

The springtime in Redington Shores, Florida, often brings pleasant temperatures and comfortable breezes, so many homeowners leave their windows and storm doors open to take advantage of the airflow. However, the blooming flowers will bring allergens into your home, which can lower the quality of air you breathe. Use these tips to improve your home’s indoor air quality and protect your family.

Keep it Clean

During your spring cleaning, make sure to look for ways to eliminate allergens and contaminants from the home. Vacuum regularly to remove dirt, dust, and other debris that gets trapped within the fibers of your carpet. Remove dust from surfaces and look for ways to clear out clutter, which can attract dust. Have the carpets professionally cleaned as part of the process. These steps can all make a difference in the air quality.

As dust, pollen, pet hair, dander, and other contaminants settle within the house, they’ll move through the HVAC system and be re-circulated anytime it’s running. By minimizing the dust that is in the house, you’ll lessen the amount that can go through the ducts and unit.

Air Duct Cleaning

As part of your spring cleaning checklist, include scheduling an air duct cleaning with an HVAC professional. Even with proper cleaning habits and practices, your home will still accumulate some dust, pollen, and debris, so that stuff settles in the ducts and decreases the efficiency of your system. Additionally, the clogged-up ducts will result in poor air quality, which can cause symptoms like congestion, sore throats, and headaches. During a duct cleaning, your technician will use powerful suction to remove all debris left behind.

Risks of Poor Air Quality

When you think of bad air, you probably think of the pollution outdoors. However, the air in your home or office is often much worse than any air you breathe outside. Poor air quality can cause health problems and unpleasant symptoms, as well as cause existing breathing conditions to worsen.
