Top Tips To Protect Yourself From Poor AC Indoor Air

Both residential and commercial buildings are constantly exposed to pollutants and contaminants. A weird smell lingering in the room, in the living space, or in study room right after turning on the AC is an early sign of possible pollutants inhabiting in your HVAC system.

More serious signs of the existence of contaminants include irritation of the nose, throat, and eyes, headache, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, and fatigue. We do not want to expose our family to this type of threat, especially if we have a family member that is sensitive to these pollutants or has an existing medical condition.

How Your Home AC System Causes Poor Air Quality

By keeping a clean home cooling system, you secure the wellness of your family. One of the most basic ways to keep your cooling unit free of dirt is to clean the filter every six months. If you have the basic knowledge on how to clean the filter, you won’t have to hire an HVAC contractor to do the work for you.

However, cleaning the filter might not be enough. Seeking the assistance of a professional for the maintenance and tune up of your AC will keep it fully function and energy efficient. Talk to one of the skilled technicians at Marthedal Solar, Air & Heating or visit aamarthedal.com today.

So, how does your AC threaten your family’s health? Here’s how…

1. Usually home cooling units recirculate indoor air to save energy. Because of this, some contaminants get circulated along with the cooled air.
2. Without proper maintenance (cleaning or replacement of filters, unclogging duct lines), airflow becomes restricted and limited.
3. When filters are dirty or not cleaned thoroughly, allergens, pesticides, and other outside irritants can enter and circulate within your house.

There are other factors that contribute to diminishing the quality of oxygen inside the house. Some are just lying around your home.

1. Appliances that use gas or gas products should burn clean and free of harmful by-products. Irritating gasses can cause wheezing even in people without asthma.
2. Home cleaning products that have volatile organic compounds (VOC) can also cause irritation and affect the quality of oxygen we breathe in. VOCs mix with the air in a form of gas could pose harmful effects.
3. Adorable pets can trigger allergic reactions too.
