17 Nov The Importance of Air Quality in the Winter
If you live in Westchester County or Putnam County, you’ll experience a drop in temperatures over the winter months. As such, most of your time is spent indoors with the heating on and windows closed. While it sounds cozy, this is terrible for the air quality in your home!
Dry winter air and no circulation
The main problem is that winter air is incredibly dry as there’s hardly any moisture in it. This can be a significant problem in your home as studies suggest that dry air increases the chances of people getting sick. It can dry out your nose, stopping the mucus from catching any germs!
Similarly, there’s a lack of air circulation because the windows are kept shut to ward off the cold. This means loads of pollutants circulate – like allergens from pets, dust, and potentially smoke from a warm winter fire.
Improve the ventilation system in your home
What’s the solution? If you can’t open the windows, you need to call upon the ventilation system in your home. Most houses are built with air ducts that can cycle the air throughout your property. Typically, this includes extraction fans in certain rooms or an HVAC system to regulate the temperature. Either way, you need to improve your ventilation system to enhance the indoor air quality during winter. This starts with a full-scale ventilation cleaning service.

A clean ventilation system means that clean air regulates throughout your property.
