Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home; but, what if the air … isn’t so fresh? During the long winter months, dust, allergens, and other pollutants can build up in your HVAC system, negatively affecting your indoor air quality. That’s why at IAC-Indoor Air Care, we recommend taking proactive measures to ensure the air you breathe inside your Long Island home stays clean and healthy. With this Spring Indoor Air Quality Checklist, your indoor air will be just as fresh as the blooming flowers outside.
Cleaning Your Air Ducts
Air ducts can accumulate all manners of dust and debris, affecting your indoor air quality. Your Spring Indoor Air Quality Checklist wouldn’t be complete without scheduling a comprehensive air duct cleaning.
- Dirty ducts can lead to unhealthy air circulation, triggering allergies and respiratory issues.
- Professional air duct cleaning removes these issues at their source, resulting in significantly improved air quality.
Checking and Cleaning Your Dryer Vent
One often-overlooked area of indoor air quality is the dryer vent. Lint buildup can not only reduce the efficiency of your dryer but also pose a fire risk.
- Removing lint from the lint filter isn’t enough. Regular dryer vent cleaning is necessary to ensure your family’s safety.
- Consider having a professional look at it if you’re unsure how to clean your dryer vent properly.
Maintaining Your HVAC System
When it comes to HVAC maintenance, preventative maintenance outperforms reactive maintenance. A well-maintained HVAC system not only runs more effectively but can also improve indoor air quality.
- Plan for a professional HVAC maintenance session to check for any potential issues and assure optimal performance.
- Changing your system’s filters at least once every three months is essential. However, during high-pollen spring months, consider replacing filters monthly.
