Improve Indoor Air Quality in the New Year
2023 is here! It’s time for a fresh start, and what better way to do that than to support good health with cleaner indoor air? Indoor air quality is vital to lung health and good health generally. This year, homeowners can follow through on resolutions to improve indoor air quality by taking a few simple steps. Here are the best things that homeowners can do to ensure they stay healthy and live in a home with high-quality indoor air.
Change Air Filters Regularly 
One of the most important habits when it comes to keeping indoor air clean is routinely changing the air filters in the central AC and heating system. Every heating and cooling system has some form of filtration to protect it from dust and grime that may build up inside of it. As a bonus, these filters also clean up the air and make it safer to breathe.
Air filters should be changed at least every three months, if not sooner. Some of the factors that may require more frequent air filter changes include, but are not limited to:
- A dusty environment near the home
- Pets in the home
- Quality of the air filter
- Lung health of the home’s occupants
Beef Up Protection With Air Purifiers and Sanitizers
Whole-home air sanitizers and air purifiers are both options for keeping a home's air clean. Both products work to remove airborne particles, such as dust, mold spores, pet dander, and other allergens, from the air. Whole-home air sanitizers use ultraviolet light or ozone to sanitize the air, while air purifiers use a filter system to trap the particles.
Whole-home air sanitizers have several benefits. They can be set to run on a schedule, ensuring that the air in a home is regularly sanitized. This helps keep families safe from airborne particles and reduces the strain on air purifiers. Additionally, whole-home air sanitizers are more efficient than air purifiers, as they can sanitize large areas quickly and effectively.
Air purifiers have the advantage of being able to remove finer particles from the air, such as smoke and chemicals. They are also generally more affordable than whole-home air sanitizers, making them a good option for those on a budget. Air purifiers are also available in a wide range of sizes, so they can be used to purify the air in a small room or an entire house.
Whole-home air sanitizers and air purifiers both do a great job of keeping families safe from airborne particles. Depending on a homeowner’s needs and budget, either one can be a great choice to ensure the air in their home is clean and safe. Technicians can help homeowners choose the right system for them.
Keep the House Clean
A separate but equally important goal of homeowners may be to keep the house tidier for the new year. Luckily, this goal will also support clean air and better indoor air quality in the home. One of the reasons that homes and the air stay dusty is that it has plenty of places to hide. From flat surfaces to fabrics, dust tends to get everywhere.
Resolving to keep the home cleaner is part of a strategy to clean up the air. To keep the home cleaner during the year, remember habits like:
- Sweep floors
- Dust surfaces
- Vacuum carpets and upholstery
- Launder linens
- Wash curtains
