The Air Inside Your Home May Be Making You Sick
According to the EPA, indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. In San Antonio, where we keep our homes sealed tight against the heat, poor indoor air quality is a common problem.
Common Indoor Air Quality Problems
1. Dust and Allergens
San Antonio's climate means year-round allergens. Your HVAC system circulates these allergens unless properly filtered.
2. Mold and Mildew
Moisture can support mold growth in some homes. Suspected growth or moisture inside HVAC equipment or ductwork should be evaluated by a qualified professional.
DIY Steps to Improve Your Air Quality
- Change filters regularly: Choose a filter that is compatible with your HVAC system and airflow requirements
- Monitor humidity: Address persistent indoor moisture concerns based on the home's conditions
- Ventilate: Open windows when outdoor air quality is good
- Clean regularly: Vacuum with HEPA filters
