The climate in Virginia is as varied as the seasons of the year. Humid one minute, windy the next with a snow storm or two thrown in. Is it any wonder that grave and careful consideration needs to be given to indoor air options.
Whether you own or are renting or you own your home, the quality of your indoor air – both its purity and its level of coolness or warmth is going to be a concern. A heating and cooling system can do more than just raise and lower the heat in your home.
It can also have a tremendous impact on the quality of the air that you breath inside your home. Poor or inadequate ventilation can have a significant effect on the quality of your indoor air as it would allow the pollutants, allergens that find their way inside, pet dander - that are generated within your home to remain inside for longer periods.
With what we've learned so far, it's safe to say that there are problems associated with your indoor air supply. What we need to do now is take a look at possible solutions for Virginia indoor air and just how these solutions might be applied to your own home.
The first possible solution is to control the pollutants that might occur indoors – get rid of the individual sources. The smoking, wood burning stoves or even fireplaces. Get an indoor air auditor to assess the insulation, as well as possible asbestos in the home.
The second thing you could do would be to ventilate your home a little more – open windows, let the kitchen and or bathroom exhaust fans run to help get the stale air moving.
Check and where applicable change the filters. Most homeowners actually don't change the air filters in their homes as often as they should and this is an easy to ensure quality air indoors.
If the heating system in your home is a bit on the older side then the chances are more than good that the quality of the air that you and your family are breathings isn't as good as it could or even should be.
After about 10 years of operation, your heating system becomes a cesspool of germs and other pollutants that can get you and the members of your family sick. Your home heater should be checked/services ever 12 – 24 months.
This test can include parts being changed, the entire system getting flushed. The ultimate aim at the end of the day is to ensure that your heating system is working at peak efficiency. Two of the main things that should be looked at as a classic heating system is the defrost control, as well as the coolant.
The coolant is what travels through the tubing to cool your home. The defrost control is directly related to how cool your home can get.
As with most other choices, you will be faced with when it comes to your home, make an informed decision. At least have a general idea as to what you are dealing with so that in the end, you can make the best possible choice for you and your family.
