Closed windows, constant furnace operation, and dry winter air can make indoor environments in Middletown uncomfortable. Poor indoor air quality can exacerbate allergies, dry skin, and respiratory irritation. Luckily, your HVAC system can help maintain healthy, comfortable air throughout your home.
Winter Air Quality Challenges
- Dry Air: Heating reduces indoor humidity, leaving skin and sinuses irritated.
- Dust and Allergens: Pet dander, dust, and pollen accumulate when windows remain closed.
- Mold Risk: Bathrooms and kitchens can develop mold if moisture isn’t ventilated properly.
HVAC Solutions for Healthy Indoor Air
- Upgrade Filters: High-efficiency filters capture more particles and maintain airflow.
- Use a Humidifier: Maintain 40–50% humidity to improve comfort and protect wood surfaces.
- Clean Ducts: Reduces dust and allergens circulating throughout your home.
- Check Ventilation: Ensure fans in moisture-prone areas are working properly.
- Consider Air Purifiers or UV Lights: Kill bacteria and reduce mold spores in the air.
