Poor air quality makes your home Dandridge, TN, uncomfortable. It helps to know when your home has unhealthy air quality, so you can take corrective actions to improve it. We’ll explore some indicators of poor air quality.
Poor Sleep Quality
Good quality sleep is vital for physical and mental well-being. If you don’t get enough sleep, you may become irritable and less productive during the day.
Contaminants in your indoor air deny you refreshing sleep, as they cause issues such as breathing difficulties and throat irritations. If you often wake up in the middle of the night, the pollutants in your indoor air may have increased. Consider investing in a portable or whole-home air purifier to improve your sleep quality.
Unpleasant Odors
Does your home smell like a gym locker room? If so, biological contaminants could be circulating in your indoor air.
Biological contaminants thrive on moist surfaces. If your HVAC system fails to dehumidify your living space efficiently, biological contaminants may start growing in your home.
Schedule maintenance services so that a service technician can unclog your system’s dirty drain lines, replace a damaged drain pan and clean the evaporator coil. These procedures allow the HVAC system to absorb and dispose of moisture from your indoor air efficiently, thus discouraging biological growth.
Common Cold Symptoms
When household members inhale impurities such as dust and pollen, they cause symptoms similar to those of the common cold. These respiratory irritations include a runny nose, throat irritations, clogged sinuses and watery eyes. If you notice that you start experiencing these symptoms every time you come home, your indoor air may be contaminated.
