The colder winter months of the year can be hard on an HVAC system. Cold dry air and the use of heating sources can hinder your indoor air quality. Fortunately, there are three ways you can help to maintain good air quality this winter.
1. Get a Humidifier
One issue that many people have in the winter is that their skin gets very dry due to the dry air. This problem is often made even worse when using a furnace during the coldest parts of the year. Fortunately, you can help to prevent dry skin by getting a humidifier and installing it in your home. This will help to ensure that the air in your home has a normal level of moisture, which you will notice immediately.
2. Clean Out the Filters and Ducts
Another reason why air quality can be harmed in the winter is because the furnace is suddenly blowing in a lot of dust, debris, and allergens into the air.
