How to Improve Indoor Air Quality this Spring

Spring is a great time filled with longer and warmer days, the smell of blooming flowers, and more and more outdoor activities. However, it’s also a time where allergies are on the rise, and air quality can be affected, particularly on your home.

At Tindall & Ranson, we’re here to help you improve indoor air quality this spring to help you keep your home’s air fresh and reduce the sniffles from the outdoor allergens.

Swap Out Your Air Filters

Your air filters perform an important function at catching outdoor pollutants and particles from entering your home’s ventilation system. However, while it’s very effective, the filter will get clogged with these particles and debris, which can not only affect your air quality, but cause your cooling system to work harder because the expected amount of air isn’t getting through.

It’s important to swap out your air filters every season so your airflow is at its optimal level and that your indoor air quality is high.

Stay In Control of Humidity Levels

While spring brings warmer weather, it also brings humidity. It’s a season where it’s common to take in the near perfect temperatures by having the windows open. However, this can lead to excess humidity in your home, creating an environment where mold and mildew grow and thrive. If mold or mildew starts to grow in your home, not only will it affect the indoor air quality, but it could lead to respiratory issues.

Being mindful of open windows or getting a portable dehumidifier can help you combat the humidity and prevent mold from growing.

Consider Air Purification Systems

The smell of nature and blooming flowers can be pleasant; however, pollen can seep in resulting in allergic reactions, especially to anyone with any respiratory ailments. Getting an air purification system can help reduce the effects of seasonal allergies while keeping the air quality in your home fresh.

Stay Up on Spring Cleaning

Keeping a clean house has plenty of benefits beyond keeping things neat and tidy. Regular cleaning can help ensure that no outside debris is inside and resulting in any messes, or even an effect in your air quality.

Schedule an HVAC Tune Up

While there are parts of spring where you can open the window and let the fresh air in, it also gets warm, and you’ll want the comfort of your air conditioning unit. Before turning your unit on full time, it’s important to make sure that it’s in the right condition to handle the workload and to prevent any issues from occurring when the temperatures rise.
