Why Poor Indoor Air Quality Could Be Making Your Family Sick

Many homeowners in Southwest Connecticut focus on temperature when it comes to comfort, but indoor air quality is just as important. Poor air quality can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems—sometimes without you even realizing it.

At Aire Serv of Southwest Connecticut, we emphasize whole-home solutions that improve indoor air quality while keeping your HVAC system running efficiently. Here’s why indoor air quality matters and what you can do to protect your family.

Common Causes of Poor Indoor Air Quality

  • Dust and Allergens: Pollen, pet dander, and dust can accumulate in ducts, vents, and on surfaces.
  • Mold and Mildew: Moisture in attics, basements, or HVAC components can foster mold growth.
  • Poor Ventilation: Inadequate airflow traps pollutants and prevents fresh air from circulating.
  • Chemicals and VOCs: Household cleaning products, paints, and other chemicals release particles that linger indoors.

How Your HVAC System Helps

A well-maintained HVAC system is your first line of defense against airborne pollutants. Clean filters, proper airflow, and professional maintenance ensure that your system captures dust, reduces allergens, and circulates healthy air throughout your home.

Solutions to Improve Air Quality

  • Air Purifiers: Whole-home units or portable systems can trap allergens and particles.
  • UV Lights: Installed in the ductwork, UV lights neutralize mold and bacteria.
  • Dehumidifiers: Controlling humidity prevents mold growth and reduces dust mites.
  • Duct Cleaning: Professional cleaning removes buildup of dust, allergens, and mold from your air ducts.
