Dust, dirt, and allergens can invade your home during winter, not just in the warmer months. With more time spent indoors during the colder season, it’s important to ensure your indoor environment is comfortable and healthy. From pollen to pet dander, to dust, there are many allergens that can cause a less-than-comfortable experience for you and your family. Here are four tips to enhance indoor air quality in your home this winter:
If you have allergies, it’s really important to change your air filters regularly. Things like dust, pollen, and pet hair can make the air in your home less healthy, which can be tough for people with allergies or asthma. If you’re struggling with your indoor air quality this winter, make sure you are changing your air filters at least every 30 days. This simple action can help make the air in your home cleaner, making it easier for you to breathe and feel better.
Clean HVAC ducts are almost as important as changing your air filters. By maintaining the ductwork in your home you can not only catch issues before they happen but can help keep the air you breathe clean and pure. According to the EPA, there’s no solid scientific proof that regular air duct cleanings make the air quality better. However, many homeowners say they feel less bothered by allergies after getting their air ducts cleaned. Clean air ducts help your HVAC system work more efficiently, which could help improve the air in your home.
Rugs and carpets play an important role in keeping your home clean by trapping dust and dirt. To keep them working effectively, it’s a good idea to clean them every week. Regular cleaning helps them continue to gather dust and dirt, keeping your living space fresher and healthier.
To make sure that your system is filtering out all the little things that can decrease your air quality recommend you invest in a home purification system such as the Lennox PureAir S Air Purification System.
