As the snow melts, you can almost\nfeel the cloud of winter lifting. But with greener parks and fuller trees come\nseasonal allergies. Irritants in the air don\u2019t just make it hard to enjoy a\nwalk outside, they can follow you indoors too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there are ways to safeguard your home\u2019s indoor air quality this coming spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why You Should Invest in\nIndoor Air Quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor air quality is annoying at the best of times. Left alone too long, it can become a health risk. The<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/indoor-air-quality-iaq\/air-cleaners-and-air-filters-home\" target=\"_blank\"> US Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> (EPA) lists three steps to improve a home&#8217;s indoor air:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Remove\nthe sources of pollutants<\/li><li>Ventilate\nwith clean outdoor air<\/li><li>Supplement\nwith filtration<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If irritants are coming from the environment around you, there\u2019s no\nsource to remove. Worse, it\u2019s impossible to ventilate with the same air you\u2019re\ntrying to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A solid filtration system offers a 3-in-1 solution. It removes indoor\npollutants, cleans outdoor air before it enters your home, and regulates air\nquality throughout. These are the three best options going into spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Air Filters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good air filters protect your home and your HVAC unit. They keep dust from entering the vents and keep irritants in the ducts from going the other way. Best of all, they work year-round while staying out of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air filters need regular care to remain effective. Trapped particles\nbuild up over time, clogging even the best filters. It&#8217;s best to call an HVAC\nservice to inspect your system early in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing the filters will shore up your home&#8217;s first line of defense against poor air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UV Air Purifier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filters are great for large particles, like dust and dirt. Air purifiers are best for eliminating bacteria, allergens, and other microscopic contaminants. These pollutants are too small to sweep and hard to see in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to risk opening the door to ventilate, consider a UV\n<a href=\"\/service-areas\/newtown-square-pa\">air purifier in Newtown Square, PA<\/a>.\nThese units are a part of your HVAC system and use ultraviolet light to kill\ncontaminants. They improve air quality by targeting the irritants that can\naggravate respiratory issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for allergens, you won\u2019t have to worry about a stuffy nose in your\nliving room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whole-house Dehumidifier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we have dehumidifiers. While these units don\u2019t clean the air, they\u2019re the best option for controlling indoor humidity. Spring in Pennsylvania often means warm, rainy weather. High indoor humidity won\u2019t lower air quality, but it\u2019s the perfect condition for breeding mold, mildew, and dust mites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping indoor humidity below 60% is the best way to eliminate these pollutants before they can spread. A whole-house humidifier is the best option for regulating all areas. Between 30% and 50% indoor humidity is the ideal range for health and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Don\u2019t let allergens get you down this spring. <a href=\"\/contact\/message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Contact us<\/a> today to find the best solution for boosting indoor air quality.<\/strong> <strong>Michall Daimion Heating &amp; Air Conditioning, Inc. has been the Main Line&#8217;s Premier Service Provider since 1976.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are ways to safeguard your home\u2019s indoor air quality this coming spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[42,43,103,64],"class_list":["post-703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-indoor-air-quality-service","tag-air-filters","tag-air-purification","tag-newtown-square","tag-uv-light-air-cleaning"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=703"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":706,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703\/revisions\/706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.daimion.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
