Most people don’t think about the quality of the air they breathe in their homes. However, there are many reasons your indoor air quality (IAQ) is so vital, as it affects several aspects of your life. Here are just a few benefits of improving the air quality in your Roxana, KY, home:
Reduce Stubborn Allergy Symptoms
If your HVAC system is blowing around dirty air, you’re subjecting yourself to innumerable allergens without fully realizing it. This can wreak havoc on your breathing and health in general.
If you or members of your household have been suffering from stuffy noses or itchy eyes, you’ll notice a huge improvement once your IAQ improves. In addition to reducing your symptoms, you’ll likely also notice an improvement in your sleeping and daily energy levels.
Eliminate Foul Household Odors
Nobody wants to spend much time in a home that smells bad. By having a professional service technician install a UV lamp in the HVAC system, you can virtually eliminate any odors that might be present from things like cooking, pets and cleaning supplies. Air cleaners also help break down odor-causing bacteria.
Maintain Ideal Humidity Levels
The inside of your home shouldn’t feel like a sauna when you walk in, nor do you want the air to be too dry, as it can lead to itchy skin and other frustrations. Unfortunately, that can happen when the humidity isn’t in the ideal 30%-60% range. A licensed HVAC service technician can help optimize your HVAC system’s performance so that it runs as it should. Using a combination of a humidifier in winter and dehumidifier in summer is also vital.
