3 Tips to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Keeping up on your indoor air quality offers a wide range of benefits. Our air care professionals at Grove City Heating & Air offer the following tips to help homeowners improve their indoor air quality.
Keep Up with Maintenance
Keeping up with seasonal maintenance is essential for all types of home comfort equipment. Because HVAC and IAQ go hand in hand, preventative maintenance is also essential for optimal indoor air quality. Being proactive with your HVAC system enables the equipment to run smoother and do its job much more effectively. Being proactive pays off in the long run. Because of this, we encourage homeowners to pay the minor costs of maintenance now in order to avoid the far more expensive costs of emergency repairs and premature HVAC replacement down the road. You also avoid all sorts of air quality problems.
Install an Air Purifier
Investing in an air purifier from Grove City Heating & Air is a very cost-effective way to improve your indoor air quality. Air purifiers help keep your home heating and cooling systems operating at their best by removing dirt, dust, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, and other types of household pollution. This helps make your air filters last longer and also helps minimize the strain and stress caused by poor airflow and dirty air filters. Air purifiers also help kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. They remove strange odors and other harsh chemicals from the air supply in the home.
Invest in Better Air Filters
Replacing your air filters on a regular basis is essential. If you own a home in today’s world, you understand how necessary this is. Nevertheless, what homeowners don’t realize is that the standard air filter, the one-inch-thick fiberglass air filter in most HVAC systems, doesn’t actually do anything to clean the air or improve your overall indoor air quality. This type of air filter is only designed to protect your HVAC system and all its related equipment. If you only have the standard HVAC filter in place, investing in a better air filter should go a long way to improve your overall indoor air quality. If you have something compromising your indoor air quality, you should think about upgrading your air filter, possibly even getting a new HEPA filter, soon.
