You and your family spend most of your time breathing the air in your home. If the air is of poor quality, you could all be suffering. There are many reasons to consider controlling your indoor air quality, ranging from your health to the effectiveness of your HVAC system to keeping your home as comfortable as possible.

Air Quality Impacts Your Family’s Health

The air you breathe affects your health every day, and while you can’t control what you breathe outdoors, you can monitor and control the air inside your home. Contaminants in your air that you can’t see could be harming you, causing sinus infections, asthma attacks, or even more serious problems. Poor ventilation could mean you are breathing too much carbon monoxide, which is odorless but can be deadly if concentrations get too high.

Controlling Indoor Air Quality to Make Your Home More Comfortable

Dry air can be a real problem, especially in the winter. If you get itchy, dry skin in the colder months or a persistently dry, scratchy throat and dry cough, the humidity inside your home may be too low. Another sign of low humidity is getting a shock whenever you touch something in your home. Just by adjusting the humidity levels a little, you can eliminate these discomforts.

Poor Air Quality Can Indicate Inefficiencies

Measuring and controlling your indoor air quality can help you determine if your HVAC is working efficiently or if it is wasting energy and money. If it isn’t as efficient as it could be, you can take steps to set up automatic changes that will make your home more comfortable and more energy efficient with savings you can see in your energy bills.
