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:
-
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. -
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. -
Seal Gaps and Leaks
Check for and seal any gaps around windows, doors, and foundations. This prevents drafts, moisture entry, and improves energy efficiency. -
Ventilate Properly
Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms or open windows periodically to promote air circulation and reduce indoor pollutants. -
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!
