There are several ways for homeowners to combat these issues, however, each of which begins with calling in our air quality experts at Air Care & Canyon Lake Air Conditioning - serving Canyon Lake, San Antonio, and beyond.

Effective Strategies for Enhancing Indoor Air Quality in San Antonio

Air Care & Canyon Lake Air Conditioning provides a number of services in San Antonio, that can help improve your indoor air quality.

To begin improving your home's air quality, consider:

• Air duct cleaning: When dust and debris build up in your ductwork, it can result in that contaminated air being perpetually circulated throughout your home. By ensuring it is clean on a regular basis, you can eliminate this potential source of respiratory symptoms!
• Regular maintenance: Not only do these visits help to extend the longevity of your system, but it also gives us the opportunity to find and fix ventilation issues before they get worse.
• Filtration: Every heating and cooling system is equipped with filtration, but they may not work entirely as you would like. Our Canyon Lake indoor air quality specialists can install an additional filtration system on top of your existing heating, and AC set up, removing a greater variety of contaminants.

Identifying Common Indoor Air Pollutants in Your Home

Even tidy homes can contain a shocking amount of indoor air pollutants from sources you might not expect. 

Considering that most of us spend the majority of our time inside, it’s important to take threats to indoor air quality seriously:

Household Cleaning Products

Even though some cleaning products might be good at making the surfaces of your home clean and sterile, many are guilty of worsening your indoor air quality with toxic chemicals. The most harmful products release pollutants called volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Research from the EPA indicates that VOCs can result in several adverse short- and long-term health effects, ranging from throat irritation to central nervous system damage.

Gas Ovens and Stoves: A Hidden Source of Indoor Pollution

Even when a combustion appliance operates correctly, it produces several indoor air pollutants, one of which is carbon monoxide. That’s why it’s crucial to run the exhaust fan or leave a nearby window open while cooking with your gas oven or stove. 

Running the fan will also remove excess humidity released from cooking, reducing the risk of a kitchen mold problem. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, get your combustion appliances (including your gas furnace) inspected annually by a professional. Also, make sure to familiarize yourself with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Furniture Made of Pressed Wood: An Unexpected Pollutant

We hate to break it to you, but discount furniture that’s oh-so-affordable comes with a price most people don’t expect: reduced air quality. Furniture made of pressed wood (aka, engineered wood or composite wood) releases many different VOCs, such as formaldehyde. 

This is due to the adhesives and resins that manufacturers use to construct pressed wood. Solid softwoods can also be a source of VOCs because of how they’re treated. Natural, solid hardwood furniture is the least likely to worsen your home’s indoor air quality, but that can vary depending on what’s used to paint or stain it.

Paint with VOCs: A Common Household Hazard

Ever noticed how that “new paint smell” can sometimes give you a headache or allergic symptoms? That’s because many paints for home interiors release (or “off-gas”) volatile organic compounds into the air. 

This off-gassing can last for months after you paint a surface. When painting furniture or walls in your home, opt for low-VOC or VOC-free paints. If you’re worried about a lack of selection, never fear! Many brands offer just as many shades of VOC-free paint as traditional paint.
