Indoor Air Quality | Winters® Home Services

January 11, 2018

Your indoor air quality can seriously affect your health. Respiratory problems like asthma, and even some lung diseases and pulmonary disorders may be caused by poor indoor air quality. Because you spend so much time indoors, it is essential to take steps to protect your health and keep your home’s air supply clean and fresh. How can this be accomplished? With proper HVAC maintenance.

Your air conditioner or heater sends temperature-controlled air through the duct systems in your home. If the filters become clogged or the ducts develop leaks, it can cause harmful particles to seep into your air supply. This puts you and your family at risk for health problems.

Particles that may lower the indoor air quality of your home include:

  • Dust
  • Pollen and other allergens
  • Chemical fumes
  • Tobacco smoke
  • Mold spores

These harmful substances can come through holes or leaks in your HVAC system. That is why routine maintenance is so important. Our team of Boston HVAC technicians can provide an annual inspection of your A/C and heating unit to determine any signs of wear and tear. If a filter is clogged or the system has a crack or leak, we can perform the necessary repairs and replace any faulty components. By fixing problems early on and maintaining your system, you can keep your air ducts sealed and enjoy a healthy indoor environment.
