Why Families Need Home Air Purification Systems

If you have poor indoor air quality in your home, it can negatively impact your family’s health and comfort, as high humidity levels and inadequate ventilation can increase the levels of pollutants in your home. Here are some other potential sources of indoor air pollution:

• Household cleaning products
• Dust mites and pet dander
• Tobacco smoke
• Carbon monoxide
• Biological growth
• Pesticides

Luckily, there is something you can do about the poor indoor air quality in your home. At SoGood Plumbing, Heating, & Air, we offer a variety of products that are designed to improve your IAQ and relieve asthma and allergy symptoms. Particulate matter such as pet dander, dust, and smoke can decrease the quality of your indoor air. Here are the following steps you can take to maintain your indoor air quality:

• Change Your Air Filter Every Month: There are a few factors that are going to determine how often you should change your HVAC system’s filter. It’s good practice to change your air filter every 30-90 days. But if you have pets or severe allergies, consider changing them more often.
• Install an Air Purification System: Air purifiers eliminate pollutants that negatively impact your indoor air quality, such as biological growth, viruses, pet dander, smoke, and other allergens. If you want to purify the air in more than one room in your home, then consider purchasing a whole-home air purifier.
• Buy a Dehumidifier or Humidifier: Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air in your home, and humidifiers increase the moisture in your home. If your air is too dry or too humid, it can have severe consequences on your health.
