The air you breathe in your home is crucial to your health.

We spend so much time in our homes, especially now that we’ve all been under lockdown, and the more time we spend breathing the air inside, the more important it is to breathe clean, quality air.

The first thing you should do to make sure the air quality in your home is the highest it can be is to change your air filter. Your air conditioner filter works to remove large amounts of dust and debris out of the air in your home. Over time, however, your filter will become clogged and unable to circulate the air properly. Most HVAC professionals recommend changing your air conditioner filter every 30-60 days, especially if you have pets. Another thing you should do periodically to maintain air quality in your home is to have your ductwork cleaned by a professional HVAC company. Over time, dust, mold, and mildew can build up in your ductwork over time, and these particles get disturbed every time you use your HVAC system, and they will be distributed throughout your home. This is why it is important to have this area of your home cleaned about once every five years. Another thing you might want to consider if you’re trying to improve the air quality in your home is to install an air purifier. Air purifiers can either be portable units that plug into any room, or installed in-line with your existing HVAC system. The portable option is more affordable, but can only work to purify one room at a time. Talk to your HVAC professional today to determine the best air purifier for your home today.
