Even though we’re still dealing with some chilly temperatures, spring has officially arrived throughout Westchester County and surrounding areas! Unfortunately, that also means springtime allergies are making their return, wreaking havoc on immune systems everywhere.
However, if you’re experiencing aggressive allergy symptoms inside your home, there’s a chance the problem could be your indoor air quality—not your allergies. Healthy Home Energy & Consulting can provide you with some relief with our comprehensive, whole-home solutions.
Signs of Poor Indoor Air Quality in Your Home
While the best way to know exactly what’s polluting the air inside your home is with air quality testing, there are a few red flags to look out for that can help you identify a problem, such as:
- Heightened allergy & asthma symptoms, like coughing and sneezing
- Musty odors throughout your home (even your basement or crawl space!)
- Visible mold growth or areas with excessive moisture
- Dust accumulation on surfaces
- Condensation on windows
- Hot & cold spots
Why You Should Invest in Air Quality Testing
Poor indoor air quality can come from a variety of sources, which means that not every solution will bring you the desired results. At Healthy Home Energy & Consulting, we offer several IAQ testing services as a part of our Healthy Home Evaluation. This bird’s eye view of your home enables our team to find solutions that will not only improve indoor air quality, but lower your energy costs and give you more overall comfort as well.
If musty smells or visible mold are a recurring problem in your home, this is the test for you. Our team can not only find out where moisture is infiltrating your living spaces to cause mold and mildew growth, but we can target the source to provide a long-lasting solution.
Solutions:
If you have combustion equipment in your home, the gas and fumes could lead to IAQ issues and health risks. Improperly functioning furnaces, gas stoves, and other equipment can give off excess carbon monoxide, which is dangerous, odorless, and tasteless. Healthy Home Energy & Consulting will perform a thorough inspection of your combustion equipment to ensure it’s working properly and safely.
Solutions:
Even everyday activities like cooking and cleaning can lead to poor indoor air quality in your home. Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, can distribute pollutants throughout your home from building materials, furniture, cleaning products, along with many other common household products. Our team will find the best way to bring you cleaner indoor air without sacrificing your comfort and lifestyle.
