Winter Is the Worst for Your Home Air Quality – 2 Ways to Maximize Your Indoor Quality
Explore the product upgrade benefits you need to breathe easier this winter.
It’s time to take a look at some HVAC product upgrade benefits for the air in your home. Did you know your indoor air is worse in the winter than it is in the summer? The good news is, it’s easy to fix. Take a look at two ways you can maximize your indoor air quality this winter:
#1: Bump up Your Relative Humidity
Too much humidity makes for an uncomfortable home in the summer, but in the winter the air is drier, and it can affect the air you breathe. Adding humidity to your heating system can bring up the relative humidity to the right level. What does this do? There are two main benefits:
- Humid air feels warmer. This makes your home more consistently comfortable and helps you save energy because your HVAC doesn’t have to work as hard.
- More humidity can keep you healthier. Viruses and bacteria thrive in cool, dry air. Adding humidity can help keep sickness at bay this winter.
#2: Consider Air Purification
There are a number of pollutants that make their way into the air in your home. These can include dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold and mildew, chemicals from cleaning products, and smoke. Your HVAC air filter can help remove some of those things from the air, but it can’t do it all. This is where an air purification system added to your current HVAC can make a huge difference. A good air purifier can rid your air of nearly 99% of airborne pollutants.
