What Affects Indoor Air Quality in Your Home?

Indoor air quality shapes how your home feels and how you feel in it. Here are the main factors that affect it.

What affects indoor air quality

• Dust and allergens circulating through your HVAC
• Mold spores from damp areas
• Pet dander and pollen tracked indoors
• Humidity — too high encourages mold, too low irritates airways
• Poor ventilation that traps pollutants inside
• Chemical and VOC sources from cleaners, paint, and new furnishings

How they combine

Few homes have just one culprit. Duct dust plus humid, poorly ventilated rooms create a compounding effect on what you breathe.

Where it starts

Much of it enters through your HVAC system and ductwork, then recirculates with every cycle.

What to do

Cleaner ducts, good filters, and balanced ventilation all help. Learn about our Indoor Air Quality services and request an assessment today.
