The Benefits of Good Indoor Air Quality

Every HVAC system has filters that extract pollutants from the treated air. That process enhances your indoor air quality, ensuring everyone in your household breathes clean air. And when you ensure your indoor air is cleaner, you’ll provide the following benefits for everyone in your home:

Improved Respiratory Health 

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, the quality of your indoor air becomes an even bigger concern. And even if you don’t have respiratory problems, cleaner air will help you breathe easier. 

A good filtration system will remove pollen, pet dander, and other pollutants from your indoor air, and the resulting cleaner atmosphere can also help reduce the frequency of attacks for those who suffer from asthma. 

Better Sleep

The human body is built with several lines of defense against foreign pollutants like dust, dirt, and tobacco smoke. 

For example, the vibrissae (hair in the nostrils) catch contaminants before they enter the body. Unfortunately, that can lead to clogged nostrils and obstructed airways, which commonly cause chronic snoring. That’s especially true in a home with poor indoor air quality.

An air purifier can remove those contaminants before you inhale them, allowing you to breathe easier at night and sleep more deeply.

Slowed Aging Processes

The pores in your skin can become clogged with grease, cigarette smoke, dirt, and other similar pollutants. Clogged pores cause inflammation of the skin tissue and inhibit the production of collagen. You might also see more deep wrinkles develop as a result.

Fortunately, you can reverse some of these signs of rapid aging by improving your indoor air quality. Fewer indoor pollutants keep your pores open and clean. Normal collagen production will resume, and your skin will regain some of its softness and elasticity.
