During February, Rockwall homes are often tightly sealed against the cold. While this retains warmth, it can trap allergens, dust, and pet dander, leading to poor indoor air quality. Heating systems that circulate air without proper filtration can exacerbate respiratory irritation and allergies.
Signs of indoor air quality issues:
- Sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes
- Dry or irritated skin
- Dust accumulation on surfaces
- Musty odors in closets or basements
- Respiratory discomfort
HVAC solutions to improve air quality:
- Upgrade Filters: Replace or use high-efficiency filters to capture fine particles.
- Schedule Duct Cleaning: Remove dust, debris, and allergens from ducts.
- Install Air Purifiers: Reduce airborne particles for healthier breathing.
- Maintain Proper Humidity: Use humidifiers to balance dry winter air.
- Routine HVAC Maintenance: Clean coils, inspect components, and ensure proper airflow.
