As fall sets in and heating systems are turned on, it’s crucial to maintain good indoor air quality. Follow these tips to ensure your home stays healthy and comfortable:

  1. Replace HVAC Filters
    Update air filters in your HVAC system to enhance air flow and reduce allergens, supporting better air quality as you start using your heater more.

  2. Control Humidity Levels
    Use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements to keep humidity between 30-50%. This helps prevent mold growth and keeps the air fresh.

  3. Seal Gaps and Leaks
    Check for and seal any gaps around windows, doors, and foundations. This prevents drafts, moisture entry, and improves energy efficiency.

  4. Ventilate Properly
    Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms or open windows periodically to promote air circulation and reduce indoor pollutants.

  5. Schedule a Professional IAQ Inspection
    Arrange for a professional inspection to detect hidden mold and other air quality issues, ensuring your home is ready for fall.

These steps will help maintain a clean and healthy indoor environment as the seasons change!
