Most homeowners focus on maintaining pleasant temperatures, but that’s only part of what makes a home comfortable. At Derryberry’s Heat & Air, we take a more holistic approach that recognizes the vital importance of your home’s indoor air quality.
Air Pollution Is an Indoor Problem
With every breath you take, you could be inhaling more than you might think. Along with the typical gases that compose our atmosphere, you’re likely also breathing in a mixture of other airborne substances. We usually associate air pollution with outdoor environments, but it’s often much worse inside homes and other indoor spaces. In fact, poor indoor air quality is considered one of the most serious environmental threats to public health.
That’s because many things we use to build, furnish and decorate our homes are significant sources of airborne pollution. Since homes are typically built to be airtight, those pollutants often have nowhere to go. Without intervention, they can potentially build over time to reach unsafe concentrations.
The Hidden Hazards of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Breathing contaminated air is never completely safe, but the actual risks can vary dramatically. Even minor air quality issues can leave you feeling uncomfortable and unwell, but lasting harm is unlikely. Prolonged exposure to significantly polluted air, however, can cause chronic and potentially life-threatening health conditions. More troubling is the fact that air quality issues often go untreated because they’re difficult to recognize. Early intervention is key, so be sure to contact Derryberry’s Heat & Air promptly if you suspect a problem. In particular, it’s important to contact our air quality experts if:
- You feel unwell at home and typically recover after you leave
- You’re experiencing more frequent asthma attacks or worsening allergies
- You’ve noticed accumulating dust, visible biological growth or unpleasant odors in your home
