Signs Your Home Has Low Indoor Air Quality

How healthy do you think your home is? It could not be as good as you may guess. Pollution can be two to five times worse indoors than outdoors, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Indoor air buildup moving through your home’s air could result in headaches and allergy flareups. And mold and mildew can cause a host of health problems.

Health Problems

Even though health problems can be caused by other issues, they may be an indicator your house has indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. This is particularly accurate if you feel better once you’re outside of your home.

  • Dry eyes, nose, throat or skin
  • Headaches and sinus problems
  • Fatigue
  • Allergies or asthma issues that are more irritated than you usually experience
  • Coughing and sneezing
  • Dizziness or feeling queasy

Environmental Challenges

An outdated heating and cooling machine may be a contributing element in indoor air quality challenges, usually if the HVAC system appears to be struggling to filter air, adjust humidity or keep temperatures steady.

Here are further signals you may want to consider improving your indoor air:

  • Extreme static or mold growth
  • Excessive grime
  • Stuffy smells

How Can I Avoid Indoor Air Quality Problems?

Schedule an indoor air quality audit with American HVAC Inc

Our experts will take a look at areas that can harm air quality, including humidity, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Then we’ll discuss the issues we locate and action items to fix them.

Clean regularly to control dusty mites, which can aggravate allergies and asthma

Dust mites feed on skin cells and other components in dust and the mites and their waste products become components of dust. Dust Mites are too tiny to see and few people are aware how many mites might be living in a home. However, they significantly compromise indoor air quality.

Make sure your house doesn't have implications of secondhand smoke

California Air Resources Board (ARB) identifies environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), or secondhand smoke, as a Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC). ETS is now formally identified as an airborne toxic substance that may cause and / or contribute to death or serious illness.

Vent gas-burning appliances, like ranges and water heaters, to the outdoors.

People use a variety of heat sources to cook food, including gas, wood, and electricity. Each of these heat sources can create indoor air pollution during cooking. Natural gas and propane stoves can release carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and other harmful pollutants into the air, which can be toxic to people and pets

Keep your home’s humidity levels comfortable with a humidifier or dehumidifier, depending on what meets your home comfort needs.

To protect health, comfort, the school building and its contents, it is important that indoor relative humidity be maintained below 60%, ideally between 30% and 50%. Avoid over-sizing the HVAC system, particularly in high humidity climates.

Utilize a ventilation system to substitute contaminated indoor air with healthier outside air.

Ventilation and shading can help control indoor temperatures. Ventilation also helps remove or dilute indoor airborne pollutants coming from indoor sources. This reduces the level of contaminants and improves indoor air quality (IAQ).
