Ensure Your Family Has the Best Air Quality

You want to make sure that your family breathes the best air in your home, and there are many things indoors that pollute the air and create poor air quality. Every New Jersey resident needs to clean their house and improve their Indoor Air Quality to enjoy some basic benefits like:

1. Eliminate Odors: Cleaning your house can improve the air quality of your home, and this eliminates unwanted odors. A quality air filtration system can reduce odors in your home throughout the year, and Spring Cleaning is a great time to tackle lingering odors left behind from the winter months.
2. Sleep Better: Cleaner air means that you are less likely to get sick or cough throughout the night.
3. Lower Energy Bills: Have you noticed that your energy bills have been going up? This could be the result of clogged ducts. Along with changing the filters around your home, you should also get your air ducts cleaned each year by a Green Apple professional.
4. Breathe Easier: It goes without saying that removing airborne particles is good for your health because your home’s air will be easier to breathe. Indoor pollutants can build up on surfaces, so cleaning your home is a great way to help your family and friends breathe easier throughout the year.
5. Reduce Allergens: Billings can have some of the worst allergens, and these pollutants can flare up your allergies. Having clean indoor air gives your body a fighting chance against the constant barrage of pollutants found in New Jersey air throughout the Spring.

What Are The Most Common Indoor Air Pollutants?

Humans can experience irritability to different types of particles in the air. Things like bacteria, pesticides, and even dust can induce dizziness, asthma, and other adverse health effects.

New Jersey is a beautiful place to live, but with the seasonal shifts and pollen, your family may become susceptible to allergies or fatigue from other pollutants not caught by your home’s air filters.

Here are a few of the most common contaminants that cause poor air quality in New Jersey homes:

• Bacteria: Bacteria is a broad range of air pollutants like fungi, yeast, and microbial toxins. Your family, friends, and pets bring a host of bacteria and viruses into your home with outdoor air as they enter through the front door. This means that the air you breathe is always under attack. If you are worried about bacteria and other toxins impacting your family’s health, then you should check out some of our whole-home air purifier systems.
• Mold: Mold and mold spores have the most significant impact on your home’s indoor air quality. You can expect to find mold wherever there is moisture, and if humidity levels go above a certain level, you could start to have mold spores spread throughout your home through your HVAC system and other ventilation. We carry a range of affordable and effective dehumidifiers and humidifiers to add or remove moisture as needed to keep your air clean and healthy.
• Pet Dander: Your cat or dog is part of your family, but did you know that most furry pets shed pet dander that can cause coughing and headaches? Your HVAC system and vacuum cleaner may not be catching all of these contaminants- and even worse, they could be spreading pet dander around your home!
• Combustion Products: Gas stoves, kerosene heaters, and other appliances can pump high levels of pollutants like carbon monoxide, Radon, and odorless gas into your home’s air if not carefully managed. These gasses can become fatal if not caught, so you should have regular fireplace, stove, and heating systems check-ups.
• Candles & Tobacco Smoke: The health consequences of smoking are well known for smokers and people living in homes with a smoker. Not only can tobacco smoke lead to lung cancer, but the particulates in the air can also cause dizziness and coughing. Along with the health effects, tobacco smoke also has an unwanted fragrance that can be removed with a whole-home air purification system.

Your home’s HVAC system is typically equipped with a filter to trap large airborne contaminants, but these filters will not catch microbial particles like bacteria or smoke. If your family is looking to improve your home’s air quality, then you should talk to our experts today!
