Why Indoor Air Quality Matters?
Today’s homes are more than just a place to live! They evolved into a place to work, rest, recharge, and make memories with your friends and loved ones. When it comes to maintaining a healthy home, indoor air quality is an important factor to consider. Poor indoor air quality can affect the comfort of your home and cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms, such as dry eyes, headaches, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, and other serious health risks, such as respiratory illness.

Benefits of Good Indoor Air Quality
Recent studies have shown that Americans spend the vast majority of their time indoors. Since we spend a significant amount of time indoors in our homes, office buildings, and schools, we must maintain good air quality in these spaces. Poor indoor air quality places individuals at an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. Additionally, good indoor air quality can extend the lifespan and improve the efficiency of HVAC systems. By preventing dust, dirt, and contaminants from accumulating inside your unit, you can protect the delicate components inside your air conditioning system.
If you own a pet, recently remodeled your home, or use pesticides on your lawn, we recommend checking your home’s indoor air quality. At Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists, our air quality assessors can help identify potential sources of indoor air pollution. If you suspect inadequate ventilation to be an issue, you can rely on our team to install heat recovery ventilation systems and energy recovery ventilation systems to reduce the presence of allergens and decrease overall humidity levels. No matter which you choose, our air filtration and ventilation systems are compatible with almost all HVAC models.
Tips To Maintain Healthy Indoor Air
Regularly Change Your Air Filters
One of the most effective ways to maintain good air quality is to regularly change your HVAC filters. These filters trap dust, allergens, and other particles before they can enter your living space. A clogged or dirty air filter can make your system work harder, which could lead to worsened indoor air quality and higher utility bills. We recommend changing your air filter once every one to three months, depending on your household’s conditions and needs.
Schedule Routine HVAC Maintenance
Annual tune-ups and inspections can help ensure your system is running properly and efficiently by catching small issues, such as dust build-up, before they turn into costly repairs. Contact us today to schedule routine HVAC maintenance with our Jacksonville HVAC repair company.
Avoid Using Harsh Chemicals Indoors
When cleaning or doing household maintenance indoors, we recommend choosing paints, cleaners, and air fresheners with a low amount of volatile organic compounds to help minimize the amount of harmful chemical vapors in your living space.
