Keep the Cool Air in While Improving Your IAQ

Now that summer has officially begun, you’ve also probably started closing your home up to the heat in an attempt to keep the cool air in.

While this will make you more comfortable, shuttering your home up during the peak hot and cold seasons can drive the condition of your indoor air quality down.

Why Clean Air Matters

Most of us spend the vast majority of our time indoors and, of that time, we spend a lot of it in our homes. So, if you’re breathing in stale air, you could begin suffering from:

• Asthma
• Allergies
• Skin irritations
• Dry eyes
• Other respiratory ailments

And, when we close up our homes to ward off extreme temperatures, we shut out one avenue for purifying our air – fresh air from outside.

How an HVAC System Can Help

Your air conditioning not only affects the comfort level in your home, it can be used to improve your air quality – even when it’s too hot to open a window.

HVAC systems can help increase air circulation which can help keep your air fresh. But, if you’re not regularly changing your air filter, scheduling yearly maintenance for your system or investing in indoor air quality products for your HVAC system, your air can remain dirty.
