Category: HVAC
While there are still plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy during the coming fall months, most homeowners and their families are going to gradually start making the transition to spending more of their time inside the home over the next couple of months, and with that being the case, your home’s indoor air quality is going to become much more important as the season goes on. The indoor air quality of your home plays a big part in you and your family’s overall health, comfort, and wellbeing, especially during the fall and winter months, and there are a number of ways you can work towards improving it this fall. To help highlight just a few of the ways that you can do this, our team of professional New Jersey HVAC contractors at Tavares Heating & Air Conditioning have taken the time to put together this short list that you can follow that might help you improve the indoor air quality of your home this coming season, and ensure that your home remains an enjoyable place for you and your family.
Clean Regularly
Taking the time to ensure your regularly clean your home can be a big help in improving the indoor air quality of your home. One particularly helpful method is to use a damp cloth to wipe away any dust that might have accumulated on the blades of your ceiling fans, air registers, and any kitchen or bathroom exhaust fans, as this dust can easily get pulled into your HVAC system and recirculated throughout your home for you and your family to breathe.
Get Your Air Ducts Cleaned
Your HVAC system cycles a lot of air through your home on a daily basis, and while your air filters do help to keep a great deal of the dust and other contaminants out of your system, some will always get through, and when it does, it often winds up settling in your air ducts. Dirty air ducts can have a big impact on the overall indoor air quality of your home, as any dirt, dust, and debris that may have collected there over time can then be recirculated through your home. By getting your air ducts cleaned this fall, you can take a big step in making sure that your HVAC system isn’t going to just be recycling the same dust and other debris through the air in your home over the coming season.
Maintain Your HVAC System
Your home’s HVAC system will naturally work to filter pollutants and contaminants from the air in your home and bring in fresh air from outside, and with this in mind, it is important to make sure that your HVAC system gets the maintenance it needs to function properly during the fall and winter months. In the way of maintenance for your HVAC system, you should be replacing the air filters in your system at least every month, and having a professional HVAC technician come in and give your system a proper tune up before the fall season gets into full swing can go a long way in making sure that your system is able to perform its function properly over the coming months.
