March 28th, 2022
As responsible homeowners with families, keeping your loved ones safe and healthy is something that we do automatically. Teaching your kids about safety precautions, scheduling health check ups, making sure everyone is fed well and happy are all very important, but are you thinking about your home's IAQ? We think of our homes as safe spaces, where we can relax and be comfortable, but many of us are breathing in dirty and dander ridden indoor air day after day without realizing it. There are numerous detrimental health affects that occur when your home's indoor air is dirty and unfiltered, here are some ways that you can improve your IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) here in the Garland, TX area.
1. Invest in Air Filtration and Purification
In-duct air purifiers have come an astoundingly long way in the last decade, and there are many great purification systems available for homeowners today that weren't around 10-20 years ago. Many of these in-duct purification and filtration systems work quietly and trap pathogens, pollen, dander, smoke, bacteria and other air pollutants using different methods of purification - UV, electrical charges and Hydro-Peroxide plasma to name a few. The REME HALO® in-duct air purifier and Infinity air purifiers are systems we like to recommend to our customers here in Garland. Both are extremely effective air purifiers that will keep your home's air clean and pure year round. Get yours today!
2. Use Humidifiers During Dry Spells
In the hotter dry summer weather here in Garland, it's important to add humidity to your home's air. Too little moisture in your homes air can cause allergies and make existing respiratory issues such as asthma worse. We do best in humidity levels in the 30-60% range, above and below those levels can cause us to have negative health effects.

4. Add Some House Plants To Your Home
House plants are great for two reasons; they add fresh oxygen daily to your home's indoor air, and they brighten and liven your home from an aesthetic perspective.
