Most homeowners in our area don’t realize that their indoor air quality can actually be worse than the quality of the air outside. At least, this is the case without the right indoor air quality products and services in place. You see, modern homes are built very “tightly,” disallowing any air to escape in or out through drafty windows and doors. This is great news for your HVAC efficiency, but not so awesome for air quality.

The problem is, if contaminants, allergens, or even excess humidity make their way in through an open door or even though your ductwork, it all gets trapped in your living space, with no way out. But there are indoor air quality solutions that can resolve this! Read on to learn about a few of them.

But if you have the option to, you really could benefit from such an installation! Especially in the case of air purifiers.

Sure, portable air purifiers can help a bit, but they are not a comprehensive solution to the problem of contaminants in the air throughout your entire home. A portable system is good for a room or too, and even then some air purifiers really only help with nothing more than dust and pet hair. Whole-home air purification is the way to go if you also want to tackle other common allergens, and even viruses. Read on to learn more!
