You should pay close attention to your home’s indoor air quality. We often see indoor air quality get disregarded (especially during this fall season) because lots of indoor air quality troubles double as other common problems like fall allergy flare-ups. You shouldn’t ignore these problems, though. Your air ducts accumulate a lot of dust and grime over time because they’re responsible for distributing all the conditioned air throughout your home.
Something as simple as duct cleaning can improve your HVAC efficiency, home comfort, and personal health. If you need duct cleaning in Boerne, TX then you should contact our team today.
How to Tell If You Have Low Indoor Air Quality
So, how can you tell if you have low indoor air quality in your home?
Bad Allergies: Don’t write off all your symptoms as fall allergies. If you have headaches, sneezing, watery eyes, coughing, or any of these symptoms, it’s a sign that you have low indoor air quality in your home.
Hot and Cold Spots: Notice that some parts of your home stay freezing all day long while others always seem to remain stuffy. Contaminants accumulating in your ductwork obstructing the flow of air often causes this.
Lots of Dust: Do you dust off all the surfaces in your home, come back a few days later, and notice that all the dust has settled on these surfaces yet again? It’s a frustrating problem that seems like it can’t be solved.
Causes of Low Indoor Air Quality
