You probably don’t think too much about the indoor air quality of your Warwick, NY, home until problems occur. Dry skin, nasal congestion, and an increase of allergy symptoms are a few potential signs of poor air quality. While it’s easy to attribute some of these issues to a cold or the flu, dry, dusty indoor air may be the culprit. During the winter months, dust levels rise as your furnace produces warm, dry air. This increase in dust and allergens may affect your health and create an uncomfortable indoor environment.
Improve Your Home’s Air Quality
Improving the quality of the air in your Warwick home or business has many benefits. Did you know indoor air is more dangerous than outdoor pollutants? You’ll experience fewer health problems such as headaches, sneezing, and respiratory issues by having your home’s air checked on an annual basis.
The key to healthy air requires an acceptable home humidity level, proper air filtration, and ultraviolet light purification. Low humidity levels may cause a dry, scratchy throat, while high humidity aggravates respiratory issues by promoting mold growth. A quality home air filter should be able to capture micron-sized particles before they have a negative impact on your health. If your home contains a lot of mold, bacteria, or foul odors, an ultraviolet light might be the best solution. These lights are generally installed near the evaporator coil of the air conditioning unit and can even eliminate bacteria related to colds or the flu.
Air filtration systems, also called air cleaners, are one of the best ways to remove and minimize harmful household pollutants. They work with your existing ductwork to eliminate common irritants from the air.

- Dust and mites
