Indoor air quality is influenced by more than the HVAC filter. Ventilation, humidity, dust, smoke, fragrances, cleaning products, furnishings, pets and occupant habits can all affect the air you breathe indoors.
Start With Filtration
Review the filter type, fit, replacement schedule and whether the HVAC system can handle the selected filtration level. A better filter only helps if it fits correctly and the system can move air through it effectively.
Reduce Sources Where Practical
Air fresheners, smoke, heavily fragranced products and some cleaning routines can add pollutants to indoor air. Reducing sources can be just as important as adding equipment.
Think About Ventilation
Fresh-air exchange and exhaust in kitchens and bathrooms can help manage moisture and indoor pollutants. Ventilation needs vary by building and climate.
Use Air Purifiers Strategically
Portable air purifiers can be useful in bedrooms, living areas and other high-use spaces when selected for the room size and maintained correctly.
