The air inside your home is important to the health and comfort of your family. At times, everyone’s home gets stagnant air that needs to be cleaned out. Below are a few ways you can avoid the air inside your house becoming poor quality.
- Air out your house
- Limit the use of highly chemical cleaning products
- Incorporate air cleaning houseplants into your décor
- Only smoke outdoors
- Consider using an air purifier, as well as a dehumidifier or humidifier (depending on your climate)
In addition to these air purifying suggestions, you should also regularly change your air filters. While most filters will last three months, smoking indoors, having inside pets and the number of people in your home will affect the lifespan of your air filter.
If you fail to regularly change and/or clean your air filters, you run the risk of overworking your HVAC unit and therefore increasing the risk that your unit will malfunction. Moreover, the EPA suggests that you can reduce the amount of energy your heating and cooling system uses in upwards of 15 percent.
