Signs Your Indoor Air Needs Improvement
Before investing in a specific type of air quality improvement, it’s important to know what you’re dealing with. It may be that you’re coughing more during winter because the air is naturally drier than summer air. But if you think the issue might be directly related to air quality and you want ways to improve it, watch for signs of recurring problems.
What are common signs that you need help with indoor air quality?
- Upper respiratory symptoms similar to a cold
- Fatigue
- Musty odors
- Excessive amounts of dust
- Fast growth for mold/mildew
The most important sign to remember is that they only affect your home. If you have coughing, sneezing, or itchy eyes that clear up at work, that could be a big sign that your home is the source of your symptoms. If you suspect an environmental cause, it’s time to have the experts at Bolls Heating & Cooling help solve the problem.
Whole Home Air Filtration Systems
One of the most effective ways to enhance air quality is through whole-home air filtration systems. While your HVAC equipment includes filtration, it’s designed to protect the system’s components, not your entire home. By adding additional filtration that works with your existing HVAC, you can clean the air in every room.
It’s important to have air filtration systems installed by experts because you can’t just put a new HEPA filter on your AC unit and expect it to work. Higher-capacity filters are wider and can require a higher flow rate than your AC unit is calibrated to produce. Our technicians can find and install options that won’t put extra stress on your HVAC systems but will meet your IAQ goals.
Advanced Air Quality Enhancements
Beyond filtration, advanced indoor air quality services can be your shield against concerns like airborne bacteria, humidity imbalances, and ventilation issues. Whole-home air purifiers, humidity control systems, and improved ventilation solutions help create a more balanced indoor environment.
At Bolls Heating & Cooling, we’ll make sure your indoor air filters are replaced on time in Indianapolis, IN, and give you upgrade options that reduce your exposure to everything from fungus to the common cold.
