Long-Term Benefits of Improving Your Home’s Air Quality

Let’s face it, we spend a lot of time at home. No matter what, having good indoor air quality in your home is important to your health. But what long-term benefits can you expect when you improve your home’s indoor air quality? We thought you’d never ask.

Benefits of Improving Your Home’s Air Quality

• Sleep better. When you don’t feel well or can’t breathe properly, you can’t sleep well and your sleep quality suffers. Reduced allergens, easier breathing and reduced odors all help you sleep better because you’ll feel better. With the important part that sleep plays in so many conditions, getting good quality sleep means you’ll feel even better once you’ve caught up your sleep debt.
• Breathe easier. When your home has poor indoor air quality, your body has to work harder to get the oxygen it needs while getting rid of carbon dioxide and other waste products. Allergens and low humidity also make it harder to breathe. By treating your indoor air to improve its quality, you’re making it easier for your body to get what it needs easily and without a lot of effort.
• Fewer allergy problems. A good air filter that is regularly changed or separate HEPA filter can virtually eliminate allergens in your home, making it much easier to breathe and reducing serious allergy symptoms. From mold and pet dander to dust mites and pollen, filtering out the allergens in your indoor air makes it much more comfortable.
• Comfortable humidity. Speaking of comfort, did you know that controlling humidity levels in your indoor air makes you more comfortable at lower temperatures, reduces dry skin and helps make your respiratory tract more comfortable? From fewer nosebleeds and less itchy skin to fewer problems with dust mites and mold, controlled humidity makes your home much more comfortable.
• Lower utility costs. Best of all, the steps you take to improve indoor air quality often are the same steps you would take to reduce your utility bills. Changing your filter on schedule and regular maintenance of your system keeps it running at peak efficiency, making you more comfortable while saving you money.

By taking steps to improve your home’s indoor air quality, from something as simple as changing the filter regularly to having an HVAC services company add a whole-house humidifier or HEPA filter to your existing system, you can enjoy all the long-term benefits for years to come.
