Poor ventilation, clogged air filters and chemical emissions cause low indoor air quality (IAQ) in River Ridge, LA. When you take steps to improve your IAQ, such as ventilating your home or cleaning the ductwork, you’ll enjoy several benefits.
1. Lower Energy Bills
Blocked air filters and grimy equipment force your HVAC equipment to work harder, which uses more energy and drives up your bills. Your equipment could break down unexpectedly, leading to an HVAC service call. When clean air circulates through your ducts, your equipment works efficiently and costs less to operate.
2. Reduced Mold Growth
Mold thrives in areas that have polluted air and small, damp patches. As the mold spreads, you may notice black splotches, sagging ceilings, unusual odors and physical symptoms of coughing, sneezing, congestion, fatigue and memory loss. With clean air, you’ll eliminate mold growth and protect your family from exposure.
3. Fewer Respiratory Issues
Dust, pet dander, pollen, allergens and other contaminants often trigger asthma attacks and allergic reactions. Improving your IAQ reduces respiratory issues, decreasing the risk of medical emergencies.
4. Adequate Humidity
Excessive moisture makes you feel hot and sticky inside your house while encouraging mold growth. However, if your air is too dry, you may suffer from nosebleeds, dry eyes and skin inflammation. IAQ solutions create the perfect amount of humidity, making your air moist but not stuffy.
5. Less Dust Buildup
If you dust regularly and still notice a layer of dust on your furniture, you might have a dirty HVAC system that’s circulating particles throughout your house. Hire professionals to clean your ductwork, then wash your bedding and vacuum your carpets. This improves your IAQ and overall health.
