How do you improve indoor air quality in HVAC?

Ventilation is usually just regarded as the V in the HVAC (Heating, ventilation and air conditioning) acronym. However, it is extremely important in the equation of indoor air quality, which means how good the air you breathe in indoor spaces is for your lungs.

Proper ventilation can control humidity and reduce airborne contaminants. This, in turn, improves indoor air quality. That’s why having a clean air conditioning unit and air ducts is highly recommended.

On the contrary, a faulty ventilation can induce the increase of airborne contaminants, resulting in bad odors, allergic reactions and mold growth. HVAC units combined with dirty ducts can circulate odors, contaminants such as mold and irritating dust throughout your building or home.

If you are feeling discomfort when breathing, perceiving bad odors or having a runny nose, it may be a sign that your ventilation system is malfunctioning and you’re having indoor air quality issues.

Addressing problems and upgrading your ventilation system and ductwork are the best ways to improve your indoor air quality. Some of the things you can do are:

• Clean your HVAC and ductwork
• Regular maintenance
• Regular duct sealing
• Clean your air conditioner’s filter frequently
• Inspect for mold

When was the last time you inspected the ductwork in your home or business? If you are experiencing the above mentioned, it may be time for some checkup at your HVAC system and ductwork to pre-damage condition.
