1. Regular HVAC Maintenance
Schedule routine maintenance for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Clean and replace air filters regularly to ensure optimal performance and reduce the circulation of dust, allergens, and pollutants in your home.
2. Professional Air Duct Cleaning
Invest in professional air duct cleaning services to remove accumulated dust, debris, and contaminants from your ductwork. This helps improve indoor air quality, reduces the risk of respiratory issues, and enhances the efficiency of your HVAC system.
3. Carpet Cleaning
Regularly clean your carpets to eliminate dust, dirt, and allergens trapped in the fibers. Carpets act as a filter – homes with carpet typically have BETTER indoor air quality than homes with hard surface flooring.
4. Ventilation and Fresh Air
Ensure proper ventilation in your home by opening windows and doors regularly to allow fresh air to circulate. Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to expel indoor pollutants. Consider installing air purifiers for additional filtration.
5. Control Humidity Levels
Maintain optimal humidity levels in your home (ideally between 30-50%) to prevent mold growth and dust mites. Use dehumidifiers in damp areas and fix any leaks promptly. Controlling humidity contributes to a healthier indoor environment.
