December in Rockwall brings cold air that encourages homes to stay sealed, limiting ventilation. While this keeps warmth inside, it also traps dust, pet dander, and allergens, which circulate through HVAC systems. Over time, this can reduce airflow, strain your system, and affect indoor air quality, causing discomfort and health issues.
Addressing these issues now ensures your HVAC system runs efficiently and your home remains healthy and comfortable throughout the winter.
Tips to Reduce Winter Dust and Improve Air Quality
Replace or Upgrade Air Filters:
Use high-efficiency or HEPA filters to trap fine dust, pet dander, and allergens. Replace regularly to maintain airflow.
Inspect Ductwork:
Sealed ducts prevent dust from entering your system, and cleaning vents helps remove accumulated winter debris.
Use Air Purifiers or Humidifiers:
Supplemental devices improve air quality, balance humidity, and reduce static electricity that circulates dust.
Clean Vents and Registers:
Remove dust buildup from vents to prevent it from recirculating through your home.
