Handle Your Winter Air Quality Worries

The air in your home changes with the seasons. The type of change depends on what’s happening outdoors and how much air is exchanged between the inside and outside of the house. As the months get colder, most homes see a decrease in air quality.

In the winter, you tend to seal up your home as much as possible to make the best use of your heating system. Windows and doors are kept shut, and drafts may be sealed. Your goal is to keep the warm air inside and the cold air outside. Doing this work can save you money on your heating bill.

Unfortunately, this also means that less fresh air is coming into the house. When this happens, dust, mold spores, and other allergens can build up in your home. If you have pets, then hair and dander from your animals can also add to the mix. 

If the air quality in your house is in poor shape, you may: 

• Notice visible dust particles floating in the air, especially when sunlight shines in a room.
• Feel tired, with your sleep not being restful and your immune system working overtime.
• Get a scratchy throat, especially on waking in the morning.
• Experience allergy symptoms as what feels like a cold that will not go away.

Partial solutions to air quality issues can be as simple as opening windows on warmer days and using ventilation fans in your kitchen and bathrooms.
