Why Your Homes Air Quality is Important

Published on May 23, 2016
Why Indoor Air Quality is Important for Your Home 617.jpg

You may constantly hear about new subjects that should bother you and your loved ones. Don’t buy products that isn’t BPA-free. Steer clear of the microwave. Only keep your leftovers in glass jars, not plastic.

Now people are talking to you about indoor air quality (or IAQ) in Edmonton. Don’t use strong chemicals to wipe down your counters. You should install an air purification system. You have to use essential oils as an alternative to air fresheners.

The chatter never ends.

So you drown out all the noise and just try to focus on what matters. We understand - why agonize about one issue if you will have to constantly worry about everything else?

But, of everything, indoor air quality is absolutely a point you should pay attention to, and here’s why.

It affects your health

We’ve explained how to fight sickness and stay healthy with indoor air quality; and, we’ve shown you how to Stop the Sneezes and help alleviate asthma and allergy symptoms with recommendations to improve indoor air quality; we’ve even given you a full review of the APCO Whole-House Air Purifier to help keep your indoor air quality top notch. So now, we’ll put it bluntly: bad indoor air quality is bad for your health . We spend nearly 90% of our life inside and with indoor air impurities, including pet dander, dust, fibers, and virus-causing germs, hanging around our homes, it’s essential to have an air purification system that can filter our air and help destroy the germs that cause sickless.

It affects your home

Not only can poor air quality affect your lungs it can also affect the workings of your home. Indoor air with increased levels of contaminants floating around is more taxing on your home’s heating and cooling system. Contaminants clog the elements of the blower system and the home’s air filters faster, causing your heating and cooling system to work harder to keep your home comfortable. Your ductwork can also become filthy faster, leaving you with inefficient airflow.

It affects your workplace

Many studies have shown that poor indoor air quality can have a very real effect on workplace efficiency. Not only can it aggravate the symptoms of allergies and asthma, but the pollution emitted by copying machines, cleaning supplies, poorly maintained heating and cooling systems, and electrical equipment can cause headaches (even migraines), dripping eyes, and itchy throats. While these symptoms may be fleeting, long-term exposure to poor indoor air quality (and you’re probably spending at least 40 hours a week in the office) can result in skin inflammation, respiratory problems, and other chronic sicknesses. On the more extreme side, radon or asbestos coming in through cracked foundations or ceilings can actually cause cancer and other deadly diseases and an excessive concentration of carbon monoxide can result in sudden death.

So when someone starts talking about indoor air quality, listen up because it could be crucial for your health and for your home. If you aren’t sure if your home’s indoor air quality is healthy or struggling, call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning for a no-charge in-home analysis and we’ll determine your indoor air quality levels and go over whole-home air cleaning options with you.
