3 Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Winter
Updated On: 10/27/23
During winter, you want nothing more than to come home to a warm, cozy home. The last thing you want to experience is sneezing, coughing, or other pesky symptoms associated with poor indoor air quality. Unfortunately, indoor air quality is a huge issue for homes throughout Jackson, MO. Luckily, there are several easy solutions for improving the breathability of your home’s air. Take a look at this list put together by the air experts from Obermanns.
1. Clean and Inspect Your Ductwork
Over time, your ducts can accumulate dust, dander, and pet hair, which will significantly lower the quality of the indoor air. All of this debris will be continuously circulated throughout your home and can lead to symptoms like allergies, itchy eyes, and sore throats. Changing the air filter can help, but the best way to eliminate this buildup is with a professional duct cleaning.
2. Have Your Furnace Professionally Maintained
Just like the ductwork, the furnace itself can also harbor debris. A professional furnace tune-up includes a thorough cleaning of the entire system. We’ll remove the outer panels and vacuum out the dirt and debris from even the smallest areas. Following the tune-up, you should notice a drop in symptoms related to allergies and asthma.
3. Install an Air Purifier
If you or your family members suffer from severe asthma or allergies, then an air purifier can help alleviate their symptoms. An air purifier is a specialized system that catches even the tiniest particles. Some air filtration systems even use infrared lights to destroy dangerous virus particles and bacteria.
