Indoor Air Quality, or IAQ, describes how clean and healthy the air inside your home really is. Poor IAQ can mean dust, allergens, or pollutants circulating through your living space — often without you even noticing. Good IAQ keeps your family healthier, your home fresher, and your HVAC system running more efficiently.
Several factors in your home and HVAC system can impact the air you breathe every day:
Air Filters
Clogged or outdated filters let dust, allergens, and pollutants circulate through your home. Regular replacement ensures clean, healthy airflow.
Condition of the Ducts
Leaky or dirty ducts spread dust, mold, and debris into every room. Clean, well-sealed ducts protect your family’s health and improve energy efficiency

Alert
Your home's air quality can be compromised by a multitude of factors, many of which originate from everyday household activities. Dust and allergens, especially prevalent in high-traffic areas, can build up over time, affecting your family's health. Inadequate ventilation traps these pollutants indoors, creating a stagnant and unhealthy environment.
Humidity levels also significantly impact indoor air quality. Excessive moisture fosters mold and mildew growth, while dry air can irritate your respiratory system. Additionally, external factors like wildfire smoke or urban pollution can infiltrate your home, further diminishing the quality of the air you breathe. In regions like Silicon Valley, where environmental concerns are heightened, these issues can be especially pronounced.
Regular maintenance of your heating and cooling systems, paired with proactive solutions like air purifiers and humidifiers, can significantly improve your indoor air quality and foster a healthier and more comfortable living space for you and your loved ones.
What Causes Indoor Air Pollution?
Indoor air pollution can originate from a variety of sources within the home. Understanding these causes is essential for addressing and mitigating contamination effectively.
Common causes of indoor air pollution include:
Household cleaning products: Many cleaning agents, air fresheners, and personal care products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can pollute the air.
Building materials: Common materials such as insulation, paints, and adhesives emit chemicals that can linger and affect indoor air quality.
Dust and allergens: Accumulation of dust, pet dander, and pollen can lead to elevated levels of allergens circulating in the air.
Mold and mildew: Moisture can promote the growth of mold and mildew, which release spores and contribute to respiratory issues.
Combustion sources: Appliances such as gas stoves, heaters, and fireplaces can emit harmful gases if not properly ventilated.
Poor ventilation: Insufficient airflow can trap pollutants within a space, exacerbating indoor air quality problems.
Outdoor air pollution: External air pollutants, such as smoke or vehicle emissions, can infiltrate the home through open windows and doors, negatively impacting indoor environments.
What Are the Symptoms of Poor Air Quality?
Individuals may experience a range of symptoms that can be attributed to airborne contaminants and inadequate ventilation.
Common indicators include:
Respiratory issues: Persistent coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing often signal compromised air quality and may be exacerbated by allergens or pollutants.
Allergic reactions: Increased sensitivity to allergens can manifest as sneezing, itchy eyes, or skin irritations, particularly for those with pre-existing conditions.
Allergic reactions: Increased sensitivity to allergens can manifest as sneezing, itchy eyes, or skin irritations, particularly for those with pre-existing conditions.
Dizziness: Feeling lightheaded or dizzy can be a response to harmful gases or pollutants, necessitating immediate examination of air quality.
Humidity-related problems: Excess moisture can lead to a feeling of heaviness in the air and create environments conducive to mold growth, which may trigger allergic responses.
Unpleasant odors: Lingering odors often indicate the presence of pollutants or dampness, prompting a need for intervention.

Questions & Answers
Symptoms of poor air quality include persistent coughing, sneezing, fatigue, irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat, and worsening of allergy or asthma symptoms. You may also notice visible mold, excessive dust, or musty odors.
Poor indoor air quality can stem from inadequate ventilation, moisture problems, use of chemical cleaning products, emissions from appliances or heating systems, and improper air filtration. Outdoor pollution can also seep indoors.
The ideal indoor humidity level is between 30% and 50%. Maintaining this range can reduce mold growth, dust mites, and other allergens.
Proper ventilation ensures that fresh air circulates and dilutes indoor pollutants. It helps remove contaminants and moisture, reducing the risk of mold growth and improving overall air quality.
You can use indoor air quality monitors to measure levels of pollutants like carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, humidity, and particulate matter. These devices provide real-time feedback and can help you take steps to improve indoor air quality.
