Protect Your Hershey, PA, Home With These IAQ Solutions

Your home’s air quality can affect everything from your midday energy levels to your sleep quality. It can even have an effect on the market value of your Hershey, PA, home. Use these IAQ solutions to start living with cleaner, healthier air:

Air Purifier

A high-quality air purifier can remove a tremendous amount of the allergens, pollutants, bacteria and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in your home. When choosing your air purifier, opt for an energy-efficient model that has a multi-phase filtration system. You’ll have a few more filters to change out now and then, but the extra boost that the unit gives your IAQ will be worth the effort.

House Plants

By stripping off oxygen molecules from carbon dioxide in the air and then circulating the oxygen molecules around your home, houseplants can help your HVAC system last longer. Aloe, English Ivy and Bamboo Palm are all popular choices. Just make sure you’re disciplined about watering your plants to keep them alive and thriving.

Air Cleaner

Whereas air purifiers primarily sanitize the air by killing germs and bugs, air cleaners filter out large dust particles and other respiratory irritants. We recommend installing both an air purifier and an air cleaner if you want to be safe.

Vacuum

This one might seem obvious, but it definitely has a place on our list of IAQ solutions. After all, it doesn’t take much for dust on your carpet or countertops to end up floating around your home. Therefore, one of the best ways to raise your IAQ is to make regular use of that vacuum cleaner that you have lying around.
