3 Signs Your Home Has Low IAQ in Nederland, TX

Sign Of Poor IAQ

Low indoor air quality (IAQ) can make your home in Nederland, TX, an uncomfortable and even dangerous place in which to live. Because of this, it’s critically important for you to learn to recognize the signs of low IAQ. Here are three strong indications that your IAQ has significantly diminished.

Respiratory Problems

When you inhale airborne pollutants, they will irritate your lungs and sinuses. These pollutants include dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and refrigerant gas.

These pollutants can cause several symptoms that affect your health. Some resulting symptoms may be mild, like coughing, sneezing or shortness of breath, while others may be severe, like vomiting, allergic reactions, loss of consciousness and even the eventual onset of life-threatening diseases like cancer or COPD. The greater the volume of pollutants around you and the longer your exposure to them lasts, the more serious your symptoms are likely to be in the long term.

Inadequate Sleep

If indoor pollutants torment you during your waking hours, they will also torment you while you sleep. Since pollutants can disrupt your breathing, they will ruin your ability to sleep, which can make you tired, irritable and unable to focus throughout the day.

Reducing your exposure to indoor pollutants can improve your ability to sleep. We recommend you vacuum your home and change the air filters regularly.

Weak HVAC Performance

When dust, pollen, and other debris fly into your HVAC system and attach themselves to its filters, ducts, and other parts, airflow through the system will decline. Once airflow diminishes, so will the overall performance of your system. For that reason, we recommend buying IAQ solutions, cleaning your HVAC filters every three months and scheduling system maintenance every year.
