The air quality inside your Apopka, FL, home can impact how you feel daily. Unfortunately, there may be several things you’re doing each day that can negatively impact your indoor air quality (IAQ).
Not Using Exhaust Fans
At a minimum, you likely have exhaust fans in your kitchen and bathrooms. You should run these fans when you’re cooking, cleaning, or bathing to help remove excess moisture and particulate matter.
Not Running Your HVAC System Enough
You may be minimizing the amount of time you run your HVAC system to save money. However, this could lead to stagnant air that has a high concentration of particulate matter. Run your HVAC system to help promote air circulation and filtration.
Lack of Air Filtration
In addition to the filter part of your HVAC system, you can have our team install a whole-house air filtration unit to help remove the particulate matter in your air. These units use beneficial filtration, such as high-efficiency particulate air filters and activated carbon filters.
Not Watching Pollen Levels
If you’re susceptible to seasonal allergy symptoms, pay attention to what time of day you open your windows and doors. It’s beneficial to open and ventilate periodically. However, stick to the early morning hours and late at night when the pollen levels are usually at their lowest.
Smoking in the Home
Smoking is bad for your health, but smoking in the home can lower your IAQ and put others at risk of secondhand smoke exposure. You also shouldn’t allow others to smoke in your home.
