Here are other facts to know about indoor air quality.


Mildew Growth

Does your whole house smell bad? There's such a thing called "dirty sock syndrome."

It's when there's mildew growing the evaporator coil. This mildew then creates an unpleasant smell whenever the AC or heat is on.

If this is happening in your home, it's time to call the professionals to get the coils cleaned properly.

Open Windows

While opening the windows bring in fresh air, it also brings dirt and allergens into your home. That said, keep open windows to a minimum. Open them sparingly to avoid bringing in harmful stuff.

Does it constantly feel like you're dusting? Every time you clean, there's dust the next day.

This could be the result of a dirty filter. Each time you use the AC or heat, it pushes all that dirt around the house.

To fix this issue, clean or replace your filter.
