Top 3 Tips for Improving Indoor Air Quality
Now that spring has officially sprung and your AC unit is back in action, it’s time to consider the indoor air quality of your home as we approach the hottest time of the year. While you rely on your Jacksonville AC unit to supply your home with refreshing temperature control, here are our top tips for ensuring that this cool air is as pure as possible.
- Clean or Change Your Air Filter
Air filters catch a lot of dust, pollen and other airborne particles as air passes through your AC system from outside. So, it makes sense that eventually these particles can build up. When the air filter gets too dirty, it can’t do this job effectively. This can impact the efficiency of your unit, driving your energy bills up, as well as affect the quality of the air entering your home. Experts recommend replacing these filters monthly while your unit is in use.
- Schedule Regular Maintenance
One of the biggest culprits impacting indoor air quality is the dust and debris that can build up in duct work. When you use your AC or heat, the air flow through the ducts stirs up whatever particles may be in there and circulates them throughout your home. Regular cleanings by experienced professionals can ensure that your duct work remains as clean as possible, meaning the recirculated air in your home won’t contain these common pollutants. Scheduling this maintenance in the spring helps ensure your spring and summer seasons are clean and fresh.
- Consider an Air Purifier
The most effective way to ensure only clean air is circulated through your home is by installing an air purifier. These devices attract and destroy air pollutant particulate matter so that the air you breathe is as clean as possible. Our trained experts are ready to help you select the right air purifier for your home and can make installation a breeze!
