When you think about creating a comfortable home, temperature control often comes first. However, indoor air quality is just as important—and often overlooked. The air inside your home can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the EPA. Over time, breathing in contaminants like dust, mold, and chemicals can have a serious impact on your health and overall well-being. Poor air quality can contribute to allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems, not to mention making your home feel stuffy and unpleasant. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to improve the air you breathe inside your home.
