Maintaining healthy indoor air quality is essential to protect yourself and your family members from the damaging effects of pollutants inside your Walla Walla, WA home. It can trigger allergies and asthma attacks, and other serious health issues. Here are some of the best ways to manage air quality issues for your home and your family.

Filters Are The First Line of Defense

The Department of Energy recommends replacing your air filters as the single most important task to maintaining your system. Choosing air filters that offer added protection against particles and replacing them will also reduce pollutants that could cause health issues for those living inside your home.

Adequate Ventilation Is a Must

Another way to improve indoor air quality is to introduce fresh air from outside to lower concentrations of pollutants inside your home. Modern ventilation systems supply fresh outdoor air to reduce moisture, dust, and other chemicals and pollutants that can often build up over time. Professionally installed ventilation systems can help you manage the quality of your indoor air. Before you know it, everyone in your home will be breathing more easily.

Air Purifiers Can Remove Pollutants From Indoor Air

One of the best methods for eliminating pollutants is to install an air purifier that uses UV light. The UV light helps destroy and eliminate airborne bacteria and microorganisms.
