What Affects IAQ?
Here Are Key Factors You Need to Consider About Your HVAC:
The quality of the air inside your home is closely tied to the habits of its occupants (such as cooking or smoking), the presence of pets, and outdoor air pollution. Another important factor is the performance of your HVAC system. Maintaining clean air indoors is essential for overall well-being. Good air quality can drastically reduce allergies and respiratory issues, enhance sleep quality, and increase your overall comfort and health
-
AIR FILTERSAir filters are your home's first line of defense against pollutants. They capture dust, pollen, and other particles, preventing them from circulating through your living space. However, if air filters are not replaced or cleaned regularly, their effectiveness diminishes, which can compromise your indoor air quality.
-
CONDITION OF THE DUCTSIf your ductwork has never been cleaned, it can accumulate allergens and pollutants. Dirty air ducts can significantly reduce indoor air quality and worsen health issues, particularly for individuals with allergies, asthma, respiratory conditions, or autoimmune disorders.
-
CONDITION OF YOUR AIR HANDLER/FURNACEA poorly maintained furnace or air handler can become a source of contamination, spreading dust, mold spores, and other particles throughout your home. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to keep it in optimal condition and ensure better indoor air quality.

Why Is My Indoor Air Quality So Bad?
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.
