SIGNS YOUR HOME HAS POOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Would you consider your home to be healthy? It may not be as healthy as you’d think. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, pollution can be two to five times higher inside your home than outside. Indoor air buildup circulating in your home’s air can cause headaches and allergy outbreaks and mold and mildew could be the source of a variety of illnesses or issues.
Take a look at the following warning signs your home has poor indoor air quality:
● Health Problems – Even though health problems can be caused by many things, they can also be a warning your house has indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. These problems are likely the potential cause if your symptoms improve while you’re gone:
- Dry eyes, nose, throat, or skin
- Headaches and sinus problems
- Lethargic
- Allergies or asthma issues that are more aggravated than you usually experience
- Coughing and sneezing
- Dizziness or nausea
● Environmental Problems – An outdated heating and cooling system could be a contributing factor to indoor air quality concerns, especially if the HVAC unit appears to be having difficulty cleaning air, adjusting humidity, or keeping temperatures consistent. Here are a few other indications you may want to consider when deciding to improve your indoor air:
- Too much static or mold growth
- Disproportionate dirt
- Stale odors
HOW CAN I AVOID INDOOR AIR QUALITY PROBLEMS?
Preventing indoor air quality issues can be relatively simple with these 10 guidelines:
1. Schedule an Audit – When you schedule an indoor air quality audit with Gordon Air Conditioning, our experts will inspect areas that can harm air quality, including humidity, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We can discuss any setbacks we discovered during the audit and chat about the steps to fixing them.
2. Clean – Cleaning your space regularly rids your home of dust mites and other allergens that can aggravate your allergies and asthma.
3. Eliminate Smoke – Rid your home of secondhand smoke.
4. Add a Whole-Home Filtration System – Using a whole-home filtration system reduces odors instead of hiding them with air fresheners and scented candles. These pollutants contain substances that can lead to or inflame respiratory symptoms.
5. Vent Appliances – Regularly vent appliances that burn gas, like ranges and water heaters.
6. Regulate Humidity – Keep your home’s humidity levels appropriate with a quality humidifier or dehumidifier, whichever your home needs. Be sure to set the humidity under 50% to prevent mold and mildew development.
7. Test for Radon – Inspecting your indoor space for radon is crucial as continuous exposure to this non-colored, hazardous gas is the number one source of lung cancer among people who have never smoked. Radon test kits are available to purchase online or get in touch with your state’s radon program for details on discounted or free kits.
8. Use a Ventilation System – Utilizing a ventilation system replaces contaminated indoor air with cleaner outside air.
9. Choose Natural Products – Select natural cleaning and painting products that are limited in or free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Increased levels of VOCs can increase symptoms for family members with respiratory diseases.
10. Install Monitors – Install carbon monoxide monitors by bedrooms.
