What is Indoor Air Quality?

While a lot of people believe air pollution is strictly an outdoor problem, studies actually indicate the air inside a lot of homes and workplaces can be more polluted and toxic than the air outside, even in bigger cities and towns. To underscore the importance of this matter, the average American spends an estimated 90 percent of their time indoors. Because the air indoors often lacks proper filtration, indoor air pollution is something homeowners should take seriously.

The EPA defines Indoor Air Quality as the quality of air inside a building or home and how it relates to the building or home’s occupants. Indoor Air Quality has a direct and sometimes negative effect on our health in addition to our overall mood, well-being and energy levels.

Why is Indoor Air Quality Important?

All too often, household air pollution can’t get out because modern dwellings are sealed airtight. In the confined spaces of a modern home or work environment, indoor pollutants can get trapped without proper filtration or outdoor air circulation. Even with the HVAC system’s air filter, often these pollutants are merely recirculated. 

If air pollution is present indoors, short-term health implications can surface after a single exposure or multiple times being exposed; it can irritate the nose, the eyes, the throat, and the skin. Or it can cause fatigue, headaches, and dizziness.

In the worst possible situations, officials say, long-term exposure to certain indoor air pollution can cause heart disease, respiratory illness, and even cancer. Because of things like this, testing is important.

How Does it Work?

A humidifier is a device that adds moisture to air in a home or building according to its needs. Humidifiers can be used for a single room, or small area, or for an entire home or building. Whole-home humidifiers can be linked with the fan in your furnace, HVAC system, or air handler to blow humidified air throughout the ductwork and into the home.

They can also work independently of your HVAC equipment to maintain humidity levels even when the furnace or air handler isn’t in use as a stand-alone product. Humidifiers are essential in dryer climates, like Ohio’s winter months, when the air dries out in the home to the extent that can aggravate one’s health and even damage the home itself and woodwork inside it. The relative level of humidity should be at least 30 to 35 percent in the home.

4 Benefits of Humidifiers

Living in a dryer winter climate like Ohio, whole-home humidifiers can become a necessary add-on component. Here are 4 benefits of owning a humidifier:

Indoor Air Quality

May Help Loosen Congestion

Dry air may cause mucus to become dry and thick, which can result in clogged nasal passages. In turn, this may lead to a stuffy nose, sore throat, and sinus pain. Humidifiers may help by adding moisture to the area, which might help break up phlegm in your nose and chest.

Less Cold & Flu Symptoms

If you do get the flu or a cold, using a humidifier while you sleep may help you recover faster. In addition to loosening congestion, it may help lubricate your nasal passages, allowing you to breathe a lot easier. This may also help alleviate a sore throat and, for some people, sinus headaches, and restore a restful sleep.

Minimize Static Electricity

With dry winter air in Southern Ohio, static electricity also comes in the form of shocks that are almost inevitable in some homes during the winter. No one likes a jarring jolt of a static shock or having their clothing stick to them. It’s not good for your electronics either. Using a humidifier helps reduce, if not eliminate, static electricity in your home during winter.
Indoor Air Quality

Prevents Dry Skin

Dry air may cause dry skin. When your skin is dry, it may crack and wrinkle more easily. This can be incredibly uncomfortable. Unfortunately, when you have dry air in your home, using lotion and chapstick may not be enough to rehydrate skin. One way to help is to have acceptable levels of moisture in the air, so your skin can absorb it.

4 Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality

These tips will help Loveland, OH homeowners improve their Indoor Air Quality right away:

"No Smoking Zone"

Cigarette smoke indoors can linger for a long time, causing harm to all who breathe the air. Not to mention the smell and stained walls and furniture. We recommend designating a smoking area outdoors only.

Use Proper Ventilation

Kitchens and bathrooms especially need proper ventilation. Gas stoves are known to release dangerous gases such as nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. Electric burners and stoves are no exception.

Vacuum Regularly

Carpets and rugs act somewhat like an air filter by capturing tiny particles like dirt and dust and other impurities such as dander and things brought into the home from the outside. Because they tend to trap all these particles in their fibers, vacuuming once a week will improve the indoor air.

Preventative Maintenance

Our certified technicians perform an extensive list of procedures that include cleanings and examinations; they carefully analyze your HVAC system and conduct a list of system checks and inspections; they analyze the condition of your air ducts and check your system’s air filters and look for any other area that merits attention.
