With the fall season right around the corner, cooler temperatures are here to stay. This change from one season to the next can affect the indoor air quality of your home. And since people tend to spend more time indoors during the cooler months, it is important to make sure your indoor air quality is protected, keeping you warm and cozy throughout the year.
Kemnitz Air Conditioning & Heating Inc. shares some of the most common indoor air quality problems in the fall and how to mitigate them.
While summer is high time for pollen, fall is high time for mold, a contaminant associated with plant death. The decomposition of leaves release mold spores and other bacteria into the air and these contaminants can enter the air in your home through doors and windows. This can grow inside your ductwork and cause a musty odor to spread in your living spaces. With a simple duct cleaning, you can give your HVAC a fresh and pleasant start as the seasons change.
Your air filter removes contaminants from your indoor air. But to accomplish this, it needs to be changed regularly. Otherwise, it will become clogged, hindering the flow of air within the indoor space. Most heating repair specialists recommend replacing air filters once every three months. It may also be time to upgrade to a higher-rated air filter.
During fall, temperatures continue to dip, causing the temperatures between the outdoors and your indoor space to increase. All of these factors can aggravate the air that enters your home. By upgrading your insulation or sealing your home, you can keep the treated air inside and contaminants outside where they belong.
