Comfort is a significant part of what turns your house from a building into a home. It’s that feeling when you walk in the door after a long day at work and throw yourself on the couch. It’s the feeling of going to rest later that night and feeling secure and cozy in that bed. Unfortunately, we have plenty of adversaries to our comfort, one of which can be our indoor air quality. Keep up the health of air in your home and you’ll enjoy an even greater level of comfort and peace of mind.
How Does Indoor Air Quality Impact Comfort?
A number of different factors determine your indoor air quality. Your air could be polluted by pet dander, by harmful chemical cleaners, by toxins from outdoors, by allergens, and much more. Those hazardous particles can cause something as simple as an allergic reaction or something as dangerous as an illness or disease. Who can be comfortable when their body is keeping them from doing anything but cough, ache, or blow their nose?
Humidity also plays a significant role in indoor air quality. If your humidity is too high, you may experience increased mold growth and the increased moisture will make you feel warmer than you may like. Too little humidity stimulates virus growth and makes your home feel colder.
Improve Air Quality and Improve Comfort
Maintaining indoor air quality is more than simply keeping your home clean. While you should always do that, you also need to keep an eye on what enters your home, humidity levels, and what you use to clean. Installing a whole-home air purifier will also catch more particles than your standard HVAC filter and take your air quality to a higher level.
Keep your air clean and you’ll find the comfort that makes a house a home. For professional help improving your indoor air quality, call Ellington Air Conditioning and Heating at (321) 222-0605.
