Indoor air quality significantly impacts your family's health and comfort. This comprehensive guide covers five proven methods to improve the air quality in your home.
## 1. Regular Air Duct Cleaning
Professional air duct cleaning is the foundation of good indoor air quality. It removes accumulated dust, debris, and allergens while eliminating mold spores and bacteria.
## 2. High-Quality Air Filtration
Proper air filtration is essential for clean indoor air. Choose filters with MERV 8 or higher and consider HEPA filters for allergy sufferers.
