Poor air quality in homes is more frequent than you think.
Your own home may have poor air quality.
Do you recall the last time that your air ducts were cleaned out? Have you been faithful to change out the air filter on your HVAC unit? Dust and debris will inevitably begin to build up in your air ducts over time. Of course, that dirty air will be blowing right through your home whenever the air conditioning or the furnace kicks on. This can lead to coughing and sneezing and other respiratory problems that may actually have nothing to do with allergies. It may have everything to do with the air quality in your home. If you find that you breathe easier in the fresh air outside, there’s a very good chance the air quality in your home is quite poor. This is entirely reversible. More than likely, you need to call out an HVAC technician to clean out your air ducts. Also, change out the air filter for a new one if you have not already. If you find after both of these things are accomplished that the air within your home is much easier to breathe, then you’re on the right track! Let’s face it, better air quality means better quality of life living in your home. If you want to make the air you breathe within your home even cleaner, I would also suggest investing in an air purifying system of some sort or another. Such a system will help remove irritants and allergens from your air to the benefit of you and your family.
