Anyone with allergies can tell you that both outdoor and indoor air quality are important when hoping to control sniffling and sneezing. However, did you know there are more than seasonal changes that can affect whole-home air quality? There can be a multitude of hidden dangers in the air that you, your family, and your pets are breathing.
One thing you should be aware of is that various appliances and systems in your home can develop leaks over time that could result in an unsafe environment. Carbon monoxide and other leaks can drastically affect whole-home air quality. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, but it is quite deadly in high enough amounts. By checking your furnace on a regular basis, you will avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, which can occur if your furnace has a serious leak.
There are two things you can do to avoid this danger. The first is to stay on top of maintenance on your HVAC system so that any leaks are caught as quickly as possible. Twice-a-year service is recommended, but if you have an older system, you may want to have at least a third inspection performed for peace of mind that it isn’t affecting whole-home air quality. The second thing is to make sure you install carbon monoxide detectors in the home so you can detect this gas in the event of a leak.
