Question 1

How can I check the indoor air quality in my home?

Accepted Answer

Testing your home's air quality is a smart way to make sure you don't have any issues with mold, allergens or radon. Here are three ways you can test the quality of your home’s indoor air.

Invest in a quality-control monitor for your house. There are a variety of indoor air quality sensors on the market right now that can effectively detect and record the quality of air in your home.
Mold should be looked for. Using your eyes and nose, you should be able to detect a mold infestation in your house. If a musty odor persists in some areas of your home after cleaning, you should consider hiring a professional to conduct a mold test.
Use an air purifier. These devices will help improve the air quality in your house, which is particularly helpful for people who have allergies. Electronic air cleaners are generally the most efficient since they can eliminate dust particles, mold spores and other allergens from the air more reliably than filters alone.

Question 2

How do you keep the air in your house clean?

Accepted Answer

There are many possible sources of air pollution in almost every room of your home, but most of them can be solved easily and inexpensively.

Install trickle ventilation. As homes become more airtight and energy efficient, effective background ventilation is required to prevent the buildup in indoor air pollution. Trickle ventilators (or trickle vents) provide this efficient background ventilation.
Use your air conditioning. Did you know your air conditioner is also a dehumidifier? Many contaminants are water-soluble and when air conditioners remove water from the atmosphere, they also remove these pollutants. Pollen and other particulates may also be removed by your air conditioner.
HEPA filters should be installed. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air, and it's a term for filters that can capture 99.97 percent of particles smaller than 0.3 microns. A disposable HEPA filter will improve the efficiency of the air conditioner.

Question 3

What are the symptoms of bad air quality in my home?

Accepted Answer

There are several ways to assess the quality of air in the home. Here are a few of the main things to look for.

Is your family sick for no good reason? Pay careful attention to the onset of symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, headaches and nosebleeds. If you or a member of your family suffers from them regularly, you may have indoor air quality issues.
Is your home excessively dusty? It is very likely that pollen, dust mites, pet dander and other allergenic particulates are aggravating your allergies. These can be addressed with an air filter upgrade or HEPA filtration system add-on.
Does the house smell funny? Mold/mildew formation, pest infestation and chemicals in your home can all cause unpleasant odors. While it's easy to become used to your home's smells, these odors will be more noticeable if you leave and return to the home after a period of time.
