Keeping the Air You Breathe Healthy and Clean

When it comes to the air in a home or office, most people focus exclusively on keeping their heating or AC running throughout the year. But checking and maintaining good air quality is essential. Without it, the air that circulates through your HVAC system could be contaminated and unhealthy.

People spend between 60-90% of their lives indoors. This means that the majority of your life is spent indoors so knowing that you have good indoor air quality recirculating through your vents is important to your health.

Keeping Indoor Air Quality Clean with Maintenance

The EPA notes that indoor air quality can be rife with five major hazards to human health, including:
  1. Odors
  2. Dust accumulation
  3. Cigarette smoke
  4. Insects
  5. Mold growth
These are all pollutants that can get into your HVAC system and then settle on your furniture or your floors and circulate through your air ducts or through your heating system. When you turn on your AC or your heater, any pollutants that settle within the system can get pushed into your indoor air, leading to:
  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • Infections
Of all of these pollutants, one of the biggest in Florida has to do with mold growth because of the high humidity.

Preventing Mold Growth in Indoor Air

With high-quality filters for your furnace, heater, and air conditioner, you can rely on high-level fibers to collect tiny particles like dust, which provides cleaner indoor air quality and reduces allergens. These filters can enhance the performance of your system by reducing buildup, preventing mold from spreading in the indoor air quality, and decreasing the energy consumption needed to push air through the filters.

In Florida, humidity is a regular part of most months, but especially in the summer. Controlling indoor humidity and keeping levels between 30% and 50% helps reduce mold growth in your HVAC systems. You can keep your home free from mold spores with:

  • Adequate ventilation
  • Programmable thermostats
  • Regular HVAC inspections
  • AC maintenance

How to Keep Good Indoor Air Quality

No matter how often you clean your home, things like bacteria, pet dander, insect droppings, and dirt can make their way into your home, and over time, these pollutants settle on your furniture or carpet and, as you move through the house, get released back into the air.

If you have your heat or AC running, these pollutants can settle through the intake vents and spread to the rest of your home. It doesn’t take long for indoor air quality to get compromised.

How to Choose The Best Thermostat for Energy Savings?

The best way to reduce these risks and improve indoor air quality is to:

  1. Schedule biannual AC maintenance
  2. Schedule annual heater maintenance
  3. Schedule annual furnace maintenance
  4. Have ductwork thoroughly cleaned (if you have it) every two years*
  5. Call for AC repairs or heater repairs if you notice odd sounds, smells, or poor airflow
  6. Consider installing new furnaces or HVAC systems once yours are more than 15 years old

*If your system has air ducts, the duct work should be cleaned at least every two years but if you have a commercial facility you might require more frequent cleaning.

Regular AC maintenance or heater maintenance should be completed annually or biannually, and this process can ensure that you have high-quality air filters installed and cleaned to remove the buildup of potential environmental hazards from other parts of your appliances.

Our AC maintenance and heater maintenance services can ensure any visible signs of growth or problems with air circulation are tackled immediately.
