Bad indoor air quality isn’t limited to offices, it often happens in our own homes as well. The air inside your home can be between two to five times more polluted than the air outside according to the EPA. Pollen, dust, cleaners, pet dander, and other factors contribute to the quality of the air inside your home or office. Poor ventilation is another contributing factor, especially in newer homes. Getting your air ducts cleaned may not be such a bad idea, but investing in an air purifier can help you maintain the quality of your indoor air.
Luckily, there are signs of bad indoor air quality which can help you identify whether or not you should invest in an air purifier.
Signs You Have an Air Quality Issue
- HVAC inefficiency
If your HVAC system is more than 10 years old, it may be time to invest in a new one. If you notice that your home has different temperatures in different areas, this is also an indicator of HVAC inefficiency.
- Humidity issues
If it smells musty, you may have mold growing in your walls. To the contrary, a house with not enough humidity may create a lot of static electricity. Keeping a proper balance of humidity in your home can prevent mold from growing and decrease the risk of colds and infections.
- Excessive dust
Excessive dust makes for dust mites and is a sign that your HVAC system needs a new filter. Try replacing your HVAC filters every two to three months.
- Uneven temperatures
A sign of bad air circulation is having some rooms be warm while others are cool. Again, this links back to maintaining your air conditioning unit!
- Stale Odors
Every home has its’ own smell, but when it becomes unpleasant it’s time to take action. This is a sign your home doesn’t have adequate ventilation.
Symptoms of Bad Indoor Air Quality
- Dryness or irritation of the skin, throat, eyes and nose.
- Fatigue.
- Headaches.
- Congestion.
- Nausea.
- Dizziness or vertigo.
- Shortness of breath.
- Allergies.
Keep in mind, if you suffer from any or all of these symptoms, it doesn’t necessarily mean that poor indoor air quality is the cause. Please see your physician in order to properly diagnose your condition.
