Asthma is a common problem. Whatever the source and whatever situation you live in, indoor air quality almost certainly plays a role and can be improved with a number of potential upgrades that can make your home more comfortable for members of your family.
Indoor Air Quality Problems
Many people don’t know that indoor air quality is often worse than outside for a number of reasons. First, homes are sealed up tightly to prevent against energy loss from your heating and cooling system. Second, there trillions of allergens in the typical home – things like pet dander, pollen, dust, mold, dust mites, exhaust or smoke fumes and so many more. These can all irritate allergies or asthma symptoms and create discomfort for you and your family members.
Options to Upgrade Your Home
The best solution when this happens is to have the air quality systems in your home upgraded. Such upgrades can be made to the filtration system in the form of high-MERV rated filters or HEPA filters, to your ventilation system including installation of UV germicidal lights and air cleaners. Not every home needs each of these systems installed, however, so it is important to talk with a professional before having any one upgrade made to determine what will work best for you.
