Summer in Bel Air means long, hot days—often spent indoors with air conditioners running to keep cool. But while your AC cools the air, it doesn’t always guarantee that the air inside your home is clean and healthy.
At Aire Serv of Bel Air, we know that indoor air quality is just as important as temperature when it comes to comfort. High humidity, allergens, dust, and pollutants can build up inside your home and affect your family’s health, especially during the summer months.
Why Indoor Air Quality Matters in Summer
Many homeowners don’t realize that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. In summer, closed windows and doors trap indoor pollutants and moisture, which can:
- Aggravate allergies and asthma
- Cause unpleasant odors
- Promote mold and mildew growth
- Lead to dry skin or respiratory irritation
How Your HVAC System Can Help
Your HVAC system plays a key role in filtering and circulating indoor air, but it needs regular care to perform its best. Here’s how to optimize indoor air quality this summer:
Replace Air Filters Regularly
Clean filters trap dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Replace or clean your filters every 1 to 3 months depending on usage and filter type.
Consider Upgrading Your Filters
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters or electrostatic filters can capture smaller particles and improve air quality.
Use a Whole-Home Air Purifier or Dehumidifier
Add-ons like air purifiers reduce allergens and pollutants, while dehumidifiers keep indoor moisture levels in check to prevent mold growth.
Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance
Professional tune-ups include cleaning coils, checking drainage systems, and ensuring your system is running efficiently—all of which contribute to better air quality.
