It’s time to address the importance of your Air Quality within your home and reasons you should consider getting a new HVAC System today.

Breathing quality indoor air is critical for good health. … Clean air through a house fresh air system can prevent many environmental health hazards such as asthma, which, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, affects 25 million people in a given year, including 7 million children.

Some health effects may show up shortly after a single exposure or repeated exposures to a pollutant. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person’s exposure to the source of the pollution, if it can be identified. Soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants, symptoms of some diseases such as asthma may show up, be aggravated or worsened.

Other health effects may show up either years after exposure has occurred or only after long or repeated periods of exposure. These effects, which include some respiratory diseases, heart disease and cancer, can be severely debilitating or fatal. It is prudent to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home even if symptoms are not noticeable.

Dangers of Poor Indoor Air Quality

To summarize, Poor indoor air quality cannot only be responsible for sneezing, coughing, and allergies, but also for a number of other poor health consequences such as:

• Increased asthma symptoms.
• Respiratory illness.
• Increased allergy symptoms.
• Migraines

How Can Your HVAC System Improve Your Health?

There are many ways that you can improve the indoor air quality in your home through the use or upgrade of your HVAC system.

1. It Can Provide You With a Consistent Temperature:

   Maintaining a consistent temperature in your home is not only vital to your comfort but also to promote healthy airflow. Keeping your home at a consistent temperature can reduce your symptoms of chronic fatigue and improve your immune system function. When your body is exposed to major fluctuations in temperature, it can create stress in the immune system, making you more susceptible to illness.

   Additionally, having a consistent temperature in your home can help improve your sleep, which is necessary to allow your body to repair itself and store energy for the next day.

2. It can keep pollutants out of your house:

   When your HVAC system is running properly, it will bring in air from the outside and filter that air, removing many of the pollutants and contaminants. If your system is not functioning properly, these chemical and contaminants can find their way in, damaging the air you breathe.

3. It regulates the Humidity:

   Humidity can become so high that it makes the air thick to breathe, or can become so low that your skin and nasal passages get dried out. Your HVAC system, along with components that can accompany it — such as humidifiers and dehumidifiers — can keep the humidity more consistent. This allows you to maintain better air and fewer complications from dryness.

4. It can reduce fumes and odors.

   Fumes and odors not only create an unpleasant living environment but also can signify problems with your indoor air quality. An efficient and well-maintained HVAC system can help to reduce and eliminate fumes and odors from cleaning chemicals and other residual gases that can make the indoor air become stagnant.
