Make Sure your Cincinnati Home Air is Clean

Traffic brings pollution to cities, the bigger the city the more the pollution. When thinking about air pollution, most people consider it an outdoor environmental issue only. However, pollutants within your home’s indoor air are a much more serious issue! Cincinnati residents typically spend more time inside the home than outdoors. Because of this, contaminants within indoor air can be far more concentrated than those outside. Inside, you’re exposed to more pollutants for longer periods of time. You need to make sure your Cincinnati home air is clean! Poor indoor air quality can leave you with nasty short-term symptoms. Also, long-term exposure has the potential to create devastating long-term health issues.

Eliminate the health risks posed by polluted indoor air quality in your Cincinnati home. Here are some solutions for healthier indoor air. Remember Cincinnati, make sure your home air is clean!

Replace your furnace filter every month

Your HVAC system’s air filter removes airborne contaminants as air circulates. Not all filters are created equally, though and from our research, it’s not about the quality of the air filter but how quickly you replace it. Eventually, all air filters will get dirty, make sure you replace it every month! This will help to keep your Cincinnati home air clean.

You can also consider upgrading your air filter if you don’t want to replace it every month. Upgrading your air filter is the 2nd line of defense when it comes to indoor air quality. MERV 9 to 12 air filters offer superior protection from everyday pollutants that affect your family’s health and comfort. They remove tiny particles down to 1 micron in size – dust mites, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, car exhaust, and legionella.

There are higher rated filters available, but they aren’t necessarily ok for use with the average residential heating and air conditioning systems – always consult an HVAC professional when considering a high efficiency air filter.

Use an Air Installer

Whole-home air purifiers offer heightened contaminant removal, extracting pollutants from the air as it circulates throughout the HVAC systems and into your home. Several different types of air purifiers exist to help homeowners target specific air quality issues.
