When you choose Air Tech of Houston AC & Plumbing for IAQ services, you can breathe easy knowing that the air in your home is clean.

What is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality is the condition of the air within and around a building or structure. It’s essential inside your home because it’s where you spend the majority of your time. We monitor the air quality outside because we know how important it is to breathe clean air. For the same reason, it’s crucial to work towards keeping the air in your home clean.

Consequences of Poor Air Quality

Poor IAQ can have a wide range of short-term and long-term effects on you, your family and even pets. Short-term exposure to poor IAQ can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat; headaches; dizziness and fatigue. If you have allergies that tend to flare up indoors, poor IAQ could be the cause. Long-term exposure to allergens can develop respiratory diseases such as asthma, heart disease and even cancer.

Threats to Indoor Air Quality

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) these are several common indoor air pollutants that can affect your home’s air quality, including:

Dust mites
Mold
Pet dander
Environmental smoke
Carbon monoxide
Bacteria
Outdoor pollutants

In Houston, our homes are especially vulnerable to mold growth to the high humidity in the area. While you may not be able to see pollutants in your home’s air, you can look for signs of poor IAQ. Monitor yourself and other household members for the physical symptoms listed above, including irritation of the eyes, nose and throat. Also, keep an eye out for:

Dust buildup, especially around air vents
Hot or cold spots around the house
Unpleasant odors
Low airflow from vents
