Are you familiar with that musty, stagnant air sensation that often lingers in homes during the depths of winter? Are you seeking a breath of fresh air to invigorate your living space and alleviate respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis? Fortunately, waiting for the arrival of spring isn’t your only option for enhancing indoor air quality. Even amidst the chilly Minnesota winter, various methods can be employed to introduce ventilation into your home.
Improving indoor air quality entails a multifaceted approach:
-
Ventilation Additions: Incorporating vents into your attic facilitates the expulsion of stale air from your home while ensuring consistent attic temperatures. This not only optimizes energy efficiency but also mitigates moisture buildup, crucial for maintaining a healthy environment.
-
Air Filtration: Utilizing commercial air cleaners aids in the removal of pollutants and allergens from the air. These cleaners are available in diverse sizes and strengths, ranging from compact tabletop models to comprehensive whole-house units that integrate with your furnace. Additionally, regularly replacing the furnace filter is essential. This not only enhances furnace efficiency but also traps dust and allergens before they circulate throughout your home. HVAC experts recommend monthly filter changes during the winter and as needed throughout the year.
-
Exhaust Fans: Deploying exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and attic spaces helps draw fresh outdoor air indoors while expelling stagnant indoor air. This promotes a continuous flow of fresh air, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
