3 Ways to Improve Home Ventilation for the Fall Season

During the summer months, dust and pollution can clog an air conditioning unit. The increased amount of pollen and outdoor chemicals in the air collects inside your air conditioner. At the end of the summer, the coils inside the air conditioner are coated with dirt and mildew. If your air conditioner is not cleaned, the pollutants will circulate throughout your home.

In addition to polluting the air, the strain on the coils can damage the air conditioning unit. An HVAC technician can properly clean your air conditioning unit. The technician can also recommend other ways to purify the air inside your home. Here are three things an HVAC technician can do to clean the air inside your home.

Install a Whole House Fan

A whole house fan pushes stale air outdoors. Temperatures are cooling down in the fall months, but most people still need cool air circulating to keep the air fresh. Turning the air conditioner on and off on hot days can raise your electric bill. When there is a spike in the temperature outdoors, you will save money using your whole house fan.

Radiant Heating System

Forced air systems push allergens throughout your home. A Radiant heating system will heat your home using warm water. Radiant heating is a clean energy source, and it only takes a few minutes to heat your floors. The system will not change the humidity levels in your home.

Install a Dehumidifier

The humidity levels inside your home might increase during the fall months. Mold grows in humid environments, and homes near water have higher humidity levels. A dehumidifier can keep the humidity levels in your home below fifty percent. An HVAC technician can install a dehumidifier that is ideal for your home.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates the average air quality inside homes contains more than twice the number of pollutants found outdoors. If you spend more time indoors than outdoors, cleaning the air inside your home should be a priority. An HVAC technician can answer any questions you have regarding which heating and cooling systems are best for your home.
