While you don't have much control over outdoor pollution, there are several steps you can take to improve indoor air quality. Clean air in the home makes for a happier family, as bothersome allergy symptoms become reduced. Here are a few reasons to consult an HVAC repair specialist about air quality improvement in your home. 

What Are the Advantages of Improved Indoor Air Quality?

1. Reduced Allergy Symptoms

Pollen, pet dander, dust, and other airborne allergens can easily make their way into your home's HVAC system. When they do, you're likely to experience allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes and skin, sneezing, coughing, congestion, and rashes. 

HVAC air filters remove allergens from the air and reduce the severity and frequency of allergy symptoms. While filters should be changed at least once every three months, consider changing yours once every 20 to 45 days if allergies are an issue.

2. Improved Humidity Levels

Humidity levels must be just right for a home to feel comfortable. If they're too high, you're at risk of mold growth and moisture damage. If they're too low, you're likely to experience dry, uncomfortable skin and nasal passages. A humidifier will infuse the air with just the right amount of moisture for optimum health and comfort. It can also make the home feel cooler during the summer, which helps save money on cooling costs and reduces the chances of needing HVAC repairs. 

3. Reduced Odors

Odors from pets, household trash, and smoking can linger around the home for days. These smells may even persist long after you've cleaned up or removed the source. An HVAC company can install an air purifier to remove impurities and combat lingering smells. A fresh, clean-smelling home ensures you and visitors enjoy a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.
