As fall quickly turns to winter in Harvey, LA, it’s a good time to make sure that your home’s HVAC system is working well enough to maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ). Here are three reasons you need to improve your home’s IAQ.
1. Fewer Allergic Reactions
In autumn, there’s still pollen in the air from many species of grass and some trees. If you have pets, then you’ll have dander in the air, too. Having a good HVAC filter will reduce the effects of most of these particulates.
Sometimes, particularly if you have standing water inside your HVAC system, biological contaminants will grow. These growths will also reduce your indoor air quality. Our professional technicians can help prevent biological contaminants from growing in your system.
2. Fewer Fumes From Volatile Organic Compounds
Examples of these compounds, also known as VOCs, include cleaners and paints. The fumes from these compounds worsen your indoor air quality. They can also cause sneezing and other signs of congestion in people who are susceptible to them.
The best way to combat these fumes is to ask us for an air cleaner or air purifier with a carbon filter. An air cleaner would become part of your HVAC system, while an air purifier is a separate device. Either of these can remove over 90% of airborne hazards such as pollen, bacteria, fungi, germs, viruses and VOCs.
3. Better Sleep
Coughing and sneezing make it difficult to sleep. You can get better sleep when you improve your IAQ through by reducing particulates. According to the National Institute of Health, good sleep helps to improve your health by boosting your circulatory and immune systems.
