Indoor Air Quality in Deer Park, WA
Keeping the air clean at your home in Deer Park, WA is important for both your short- and long-term health. Older adults, children, and individuals with preexisting conditions are most vulnerable to poor-quality indoor air, but even healthy individuals can develop respiratory and heart disease, as well as certain cancers, from exposure to poor air quality.
There are many different contaminants that affect air quality. Everyday tasks, such as cooking, have a negative effect on air quality. Building components in common household items such as mattresses, rugs, and furniture can also release microscopic particles into the air, lowering the air quality. With help from Sturm Heating & Air Conditioning, you can enjoy the benefits of fresh, clean air in your home.
Air Purifiers for Your Home in Deer Park
Professionally installed air purifiers or air scrubbers can dramatically improve the quality of the air in your home. Nearly every home benefits from some type of air cleaning.
Curious about the condition of your home’s air? Here are a few signs your home’s air may not be as clean as you may hope.
- Low-grade headaches
- Trouble concentrating
- Nasal congestion or sneezing
- Coughing or feeling of discomfort in your throat
While smaller, freestanding air purifiers have become more common, they are no match for an air scrubber or purifier installed alongside your HVAC unit.
In addition to the cleaner, healthier air you will enjoy, you will also notice you won’t need to dust as often as dust particles get removed from the air before they can settle on your furniture. Likewise, a professionally installed air cleaner will remove odors from the home. You can expect your home to look, smell, and feel cleaner with an air purifier.
One other benefit of installing an air cleaner is that you can extend the life of your HVAC system. Because the air purifier removes dust from the air, it allows the HVAC system to work more efficiently. This can lead to lower utility costs and a longer life for your system.
How Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers Affect Air Quality
While an air purifier will clean the air in your home, it may not make it as comfortable as you like. Installing a humidifier or dehumidifier, or both, to work alongside your air purifier ensures that your home’s air is comfortable all yearlong.
The ideal humidity level indoors is between 30 and 50%. Straying too far outside this range, in either direction, has a negative effect on air quality.
When the air in your home is too dry, you may experience a sore, scratchy throat and dry, itchy eyes. You may even notice that your skin is drier than normal. This can be particularly troublesome if you have existing skin conditions. Humidifiers make it easy to raise humidity levels to a comfortable level.
Just as too little moisture in the air is potentially harmful, so is too much moisture. Homes with high humidity levels create the perfect environment for dust mites, mold, and mildew. The installation of a dehumidifier keeps your home safe from these common air-quality killers.
