As the air turns crisp and the scent of cinnamon and roasted turkey starts to fill our homes, many of us are preparing to welcome family and friends for the holiday season. Amid the cooking, decorating, and cozying up indoors, there’s one thing that often gets overlooked — the air we breathe.
If you’ve been thinking about improving your indoor air quality in Akron, OH, now is the perfect time. Before winter sets in and we spend more hours inside, a few smart upgrades and maintenance steps can help ensure that your home is fresh, healthy, and ready for all the warmth and laughter of the holidays.
What’s in Your Air?
When the windows are sealed tightly to keep out the chill, indoor pollutants can quickly build up. Dust, pet dander, pollen, cleaning products, and even cooking fumes can linger in your home’s air. Over time, these particles can trigger allergies, worsen respiratory issues, and simply make your home feel stuffy instead of inviting. That’s why now — before the snowflakes start to fall — is the best time to take action.
Air Quality Systems
A great place to start is with a whole house air filtration or purification system. These systems work quietly in the background, removing microscopic particles and contaminants from the air before they ever reach your living spaces.
If your home tends to get dry in winter, a humidifier can add just the right amount of moisture to make your home more comfortable, while preventing static shocks, chapped lips, and dry skin. On the other hand, if your home feels damp or musty, especially in the basement, a dehumidifier helps balance humidity levels and discourage mold growth.
Another option that can make a world of difference is a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV). These systems bring in fresh outdoor air while conserving the warmth from your heating system, keeping your home energy-efficient and your air supply healthy. Paired with regular duct cleaning, and repairs as needed, you’ll ensure that clean air can circulate freely and efficiently throughout your home.
Maintenance and Repair
If you have any of these systems in your house already, congratulations! You’ve made a great choice for your family’s health. But don’t forget that routine maintenance will keep these systems working properly, and give our technicians an opportunity to change filters or light bulbs and spot any concerns that might require repair. Make sure these systems are really doing the job by scheduling an appointment with us.
