Signs of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Signs suggesting you'll likely benefit from an indoor air quality system include an uptick in allergy symptoms or symptoms associated with other respiratory ailments. Also, you may notice more dust gathering on your furniture or a stale air smell. Poor indoor air quality also makes heating and cooling systems work harder, which often means more repairs and higher utility bills. Poor indoor air quality can also create ideal conditions for mold.
For business owners, this can point to a need for commercial HVAC repair to keep ventilation systems operating at their best while addressing IAQ concerns.
Most Common Indoor Pollutants
According to the EPA, common indoor air pollutants include dust and dust mites, pet dander, secondhand smoke or cigarette smoke in general, and volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. VOCs are found in many chemicals commonly used in household products, such as pesticides, paint, and stain or varnish removers. Cooking odors, especially with strong foods that produce potent smells when cooked or baked, can also be problematic regarding indoor air pollution. All of these issues become even more noticeable in the winter months when windows are closed most or all of the time.
These issues can intensify in larger buildings, where regular commercial HVAC maintenance helps ensure proper airflow and filtration across all zones and seasons.
