When your indoor air quality (IAQ) is low, the air inside your Las Cruces, NM home is less healthy. Clean air is important to your health, and indoor air is often more polluted than outside. Here’s a look at four signs that can mean you need to boost your IAQ.
1. Allergy Symptoms Are Worse Indoors
Allergy symptoms include things like sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes or a runny nose. If these symptoms are worse while you’re inside, it’s possibly because the indoor air is dirty.
Pollen, pet dander, dust and other allergens can accumulate inside your home. When these irritants pollute your air, they can affect your health. Things like dirty ducts and dirty air filters can allow these pollutants to get into your air.
2. Your Home Smells Musty
A musty smell that lingers inside your home could mean the ventilation is poor. In this case, you’re not getting a steady supply of fresh air. Our whole-home ventilators can significantly improve the quality of your indoor air.
3. Too Much Dust
When you clean your home, but layers of dust cover your furniture again within a few days, this could be a sign that your home has poor IAQ. It’s possibly because of dirty air ducts or a dirty air filter. This deserves your attention because you’re breathing dusty air that can irritate your lungs.
4. Frequent Headaches
Pollutants like noxious gases, volatile organic compounds or chemical fumes from household products can cause headaches. These toxins can linger in your air if the ventilation is bad. The longer you breathe these toxins, the more likely you are to have headaches or other illnesses.
