2. Regular HVAC Maintenance
Seasonal heating and cooling system tune-ups are a great way to keep an eye out for potential IAQ issues with your HVAC system, including air filter changes.
3. Whole Home Ventilation
Fresh air ventilation systems replace stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air to keep air pollutant levels low inside your home.
4. Air Purifiers and Cleaners
In-duct air purifiers and air scrubbers actively target air pollutants including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even viruses and bacteria.
5. Humidity Control
Too much or too little moisture in your home’s air can create comfort and health issues. Dehumidifiers and humidifiers maintain optimal humidity levels.
6. Duct Cleaning
Dust, dirt, and other pollutants accumulate inside your ductwork over time. If you look through your vents and see lots of buildup, schedule a cleaning.
7. HEPA Air Filters
Standard HVAC filters are good at catching air pollutants, but some homes will benefit from higher-rated HEPA filtration systems that are even better.
Bonus Upgrade:
Air sealing and insulation upgrades aren’t just a way to save money on heating and cooling costs—they also help keep outdoor air pollutants and moisture from entering your home.
