Indoor Air Quality Products: What You Need to Know
Did you know that the air inside your home could actually be worse than the area outside it? The EPA estimates that the average person spends 90% of their time indoors. If your indoor air is excessively polluted, this can have a huge impact on your health. There are many products on the market that claim to improve indoor air quality, but how do you know what actually works? Western Heating & Air Conditioning has done the research for you! Here is what you need to know about indoor air quality products.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
The one thing every single household should have is a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide can kill you quickly and is one of the most deadly indoor pollutants. More than 400 people die each year due to carbon monoxide poisoning. This is a must-have product in your home that could potentially save your life.
Your HVAC Filter
Many homeowners don’t replace their HVAC system air filter nearly enough. If you run your HVAC system on a year-round basis, you need to ensure that you clean it at minimum each quarter. If you use it sporadically, once or twice a year may be enough. Changing your filter is the easiest step you can take to have clean air in your home.
Air Purification Systems
There are many high-quality air purification systems on the market that attach to your furnace or air handler. These purification systems catch air contaminates and destroy them prior to them being circulated in your home. If you are interested in one of these air purification systems, talk to your HVAC professional today.
