5 Reasons Indoor Air Quality Solutions Are a Good Investment
The air you breathe indoors plays a role in your health, comfort and home’s energy efficiency. Learn more about five reasons that indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions are a good investment for your Hillsborough, NC, home.
Boost Your Immune System
The National Institute of Health found that that long-term exposure to polluted air (indoors or outdoors) hurts your immune system. Your body finds it harder to fight inflammation, which can make you susceptible to illnesses.
Reduce Respiratory Issues
Exposure to irritants like pollen, pet dander and dust can cause respiratory problems. If a person has asthma or allergies, they might find it difficult to breathe when faced with poor IAQ. Long-term exposure to unclean air can also contribute to lung cancer and chronic lung diseases.
Eliminate Bad Odors
Some germs and pollutants can make indoor air smell bad. Things like lingering cigarette smoke and chemicals in the home can harm the air as well. Getting rid of unpleasant odors improves the overall quality of your air.
Keep Your Home Cleaner
Particles like dust and smoke can linger in the air, causing items in your home, such as appliances and furniture, to gather dust or odors. Regular HVAC maintenance, such as changing a dirty air filter, can help with this problem.
Get Better Sleep
It’s difficult to sleep when you’re constantly coughing or sneezing because of polluted indoor air. You might wake up feeling tired or get easily fatigued during the day. When your air is fresh and clean, you’re more likely to get a good night’s sleep.
Don’t wait until you start dealing with the consequences of poor IAQ to protect your home and health. Our team is here to help you choose the right indoor air quality products for your house. Contact Warren-Hay Mechanical today to learn how you can improve your indoor air quality.
