The health of a building’s or home’s occupants usually says a lot about the air quality indoors. If you or any of your family members frequently experience sneezing, congestion, coughing, headaches, watery eyes or nosebleeds and these symptoms often start upon arrival at home, you might want to have your indoor air quality tested by a professional. It’s likely that you have indoor air quality issues that need to be addressed immediately.
Here Dittmer Air Conditioning & Heating, a top-rated HVAC air conditioner repair expert, lists some other signs that you have poor air quality in your home.
Significant dust buildup. Look for dust buildup around vents and on other surfaces around the house. Excessive dust buildup in your home often means there’s an air quality problem that you need to fix. Typically, the buildup of dust mites, pollen, pet dander and other allergenic particles can be minimized with an air filter upgrade or a HEPA filtration system.
Mold and mildew growth. If you notice mold and mildew growth around your home, you might want to carry out indoor air quality testing. Mold and mildew usually come with high humidity levels and poor air circulation, and can indicate a problem with your indoor air quality. Check around sinks, tubs and other areas that often get exposed to water or moisture for mold and mildew.
Unpleasant odors. These bad odors could be a result of mold or mildew growth, chemicals, pest infestation or the decomposition of dirt and debris on surfaces in your home. Sometimes you get accustomed to these smells and no longer notice them, but after being gone for some time and returning home, they’ll likely become more apparent to you.
