How Can I Improve My Indoor Air Quality During the Heating Season?

NEW LOGO- 11/13/2024

You might already know this from experience, but indoor air quality deteriorates during the winter. Consistent heat is a double-edged sword, making us choose between our love of energy efficiency and fresh air being allowed to come inside. Gore Heating & Air’s HVAC crew offers professional suggestions below. 

Open Your Windows When Possible

The Environmental Protection Agency recognizes a lack of fresh, outdoor air as one of the primary reasons for poor indoor air quality. Quality insulation and tight-knit building structures keep you warm. However, by barring the entry of fresh air, the risk of stagnant, contaminated air is high. 

Professionals recommend that you increase ventilation by leaving windows and doors open when the weather permits. 

Keep the Air Moving

It gets cold in places like North Carolina, so cracking open a window or door often isn’t feasible. Why not turn on your thermostat’s fan setting for air quality improvement instead? The fan will run regardless of your ambient temperature, allowing the air filter to continuously remove particles and microbes from the air as it passes through. 

Fan mode can also distribute heat more evenly. Just remember to change your heater’s filter more frequently throughout the winter. 

Don’t Forget Housekeeping!

How can I improve my indoor air quality during the heating season? Homeowners tidy each room from top to bottom when preparing for the holidays and heating season, which is great for guests. However, that also means countless household cleaning chemicals break down and float around in your home. 

Why not use gentler cleaning products? Staying on top of dusting and vacuuming also keeps allergens to a minimum. 

Schedule HVAC Maintenance

You can’t go wrong with good, old-fashioned HVAC maintenance. Experts like Gore Heating & Air recommend affordable indoor air quality improvements, and the service will:

  • Dust off forgotten or neglected HVAC components
  • Clean your vents and ductwork
  • Change the filters
  • Calibrate the thermostat
  • Check for impending repairs and hidden air quality concerns

Schedule a maintenance service in the early autumn – before you fire up the furnace. 

Try Air Quality Products

HVAC companies like Gore Heating & Air have home air quality solutions galore. You can find installations to suit every comfort need, including ultraviolet air purifiers. A technician situates these UV lights in ductwork, where they can zap and kill incoming pollutants. 

You can also shop for:

  • Humidifiers: Heating systems often make indoor air uncomfortably dry. These handy devices balance the humidity inside.
  • Portable air purifiers: Trap additional dust with a portable option and take it from room to room as needed.
  • Houseplants: Plants absorb carbon dioxide — the gas that you breathe out. They also release oxygen. It’s a symbiotic relationship that adds a touch of natural beauty.

He was able to come in and show me what was wrong in less than 10 min. He above and beyond by showing me all the mistakes the last guy from another company made. My caps were gone and all my money leaked out. Thank you for all your help.

Gore Heating & Air did an outstanding job replacing the duct work in our house at a significantly lower cost than the other quotes I received from other Fayetteville companies. Nick Gore conducted a thorough job measuring and planning the duct work to ensure that we got peek performance from our HVAC. The amount of air flow has increased significantly and is more evenly dispersed throughout the house. J and Shawn (Installers) ensure everything was to our satisfaction before leaving each day. 5 STAR

Josh Adams came out to uninstall the fireplace insert. I’ve been trying to get it repaired for years and the cost is way too high . It appears to be a simple repair, but I can’t find anyone to do it without charging a lot of money. I hope that the unit can be recycled and that someone else can enjoy it as I did. Josh was able to close down all the gas lines in an efficient manner.
