How Summer Heat Affects Indoor Air Quality and What You Can Do About It

During summer, homeowners are fixated on ensuring their homes stay cool. While maintaining your HVAC system and its connected air ducts can help in this process, it is also necessary to take direct steps to keep this closed system fresh in your house. Improving indoor air quality is rarely a product of a single action; it combines potential methods to help you breathe a little easier. 

Heat Impacts Indoor Air Quality 

 Did you know that the higher temperatures of the summer months can significantly impact your household's indoor air quality (IAQ)? The quality of the environment suffers from air pollutants, allergens, dander, and more recirculating in your closed home. There are ways homeowners like you can improve IAQ, reduce unpleasant odors, and improve the performance of systems like the AC unit. While an evident approach to improving the environment in your home is to have air ducts professionally cleared, there are other steps you can take ahead of that call. 

  1. Ensure that all areas of your home are adequately ventilated to let out stagnant air. 
  2. Keep the filters and vents of your HVAC system clean while running the equipment 
  3. Keep surfaces clean of dust and other contaminants, as these can recirculate as air moves through the rooms 
  4. Allow fresh air into the house on cooler days of the summer 
  5. Have your air ducts professionally inspected by AdvantaClean professionals to determine if cleaning is necessary

AdvantaClean professionals understand the importance of a fully functional and clean HVAC system and ducts. Clean and unobstructed channels for airflow mean the system doesn’t need to work as hard to cool your home, contaminants are not recirculated, and the equipment experiences less wear and tear. All in all, professional duct cleaning can be a very cost-conscious decision when these services are necessary.
