As a Westchester homeowner, your list of things to do is probably lengthy. Being a responsible homeowner means always having some type of project going. However, what often gets neglected is taking steps to get better indoor air quality.
Too many homeowners assume their air quality is “good enough” and put money into fancy looking granite countertops instead. The problem is that even newer homes are likely to have poor air conditions, in fact many newer homes are much more likely to have this issue. As homes have become more energy-efficient, it means a tighter seal that traps airborne contaminants.
How to Change This
One of the best things that you can do is take control of your air quality by getting purification systems in place. We spend an average of 90% of our time indoors yet indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Two main sources used for better indoor air quality are:
- Air Cleaners – Just as the name would imply, an air cleaner is the ideal system to use in order to purify the air inside your home. This removes the airborne pollutants, including ones that tend to trigger allergy and asthma attacks. An extra bonus is that this system also helps your air to smell cleaner as it removes contaminants that cause odors and clear away lingering smells.
- Humidifier – A humidifier adds moisture back into the air – but how does that help you? For one thing, viruses have a harder time traveling through moist air, as opposed to arid. This helps reduce the likelihood of catching or spreading disease. It keeps sinus passageways lubricated, soothes dry skin and can even alleviate snoring.
