As West Chester moves from summer into fall, changes in temperature, humidity, and daily routines can affect the quality of your indoor air. Dust, mold, and allergens often become more noticeable during this transition, impacting comfort and health.
At Aire Serv of West Chester, we help homeowners maintain clean, healthy indoor air through practical strategies and professional maintenance.
1. Replace or Upgrade Air Filters
Your HVAC filter is the first line of defense against dust, pollen, and other pollutants.
Tip: Replace filters every 30–60 days, and consider higher-quality filters if allergies are a concern.
2. Inspect and Clean Ductwork
Dust and debris accumulate in ducts over time, spreading allergens throughout your home.
Tip: Schedule professional duct cleaning and inspections to remove buildup and ensure efficient airflow.
3. Monitor Humidity Levels
Fall can bring fluctuating humidity that encourages mold growth in your HVAC system or home.
Tip: Use a hygrometer to monitor levels, aiming for 30–50% indoor humidity. Consider a dehumidifier if needed.
4. Keep Vents and Registers Clear
Blocked vents prevent proper airflow and can reduce your system’s ability to filter air effectively.
Tip: Ensure vents are unobstructed by furniture, rugs, or drapes.
5. Schedule HVAC Maintenance
A fall tune-up ensures coils, fans, and components are clean and working efficiently, improving both performance and air quality.
Tip: Combine seasonal maintenance with a filter check and duct inspection for maximum benefit.
Additional Tips for Healthy Indoor Air
- Vacuum and dust frequently to reduce allergens.
- Wash bedding and curtains to remove accumulated dust and pollen.
- Use air purifiers in rooms where family members spend the most time.
- Keep windows closed on high-pollen or dusty days.
