It’s normal for homes in Gonzales, LA, to experience poor indoor air quality (IAQ) at one time or another. The contaminants in your indoor air can change throughout the year, and they often include pollen, pet dander, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and dust. Here are three top signs that indicate you need IAQ solutions for your home:
You’re Noticing Ongoing Allergy Issues
Allergy symptoms often bother people in the Gonzales area in the spring. However, you may notice that your symptoms of itchy eyes, sneezing and scratchy skin persist through much of the year. Your indoor air quality may be to blame.
Using portable air purifiers or relying on just a furnace filter may not be enough to control the contaminants in your indoor environment.
Your Filters Keep Clogging
If you find yourself replacing your furnace filter more often than the manufacturer recommends, IAQ may be an issue in your home. Most filters last between 30 and 90 days.
After a few weeks, if you notice a lot of particulate buildup on your filter, you likely have poor indoor air quality that’s causing the accumulation. This can lead to equipment strain and more frequent repair needs, so it’s a good idea to use whole-house filtration to remedy the problem.
Airflow From the Vents Is Decreasing
The vents and registers in your home should all have ample air flowing out of them. If you notice a restriction on this airflow, it could be because of particulate buildup in your ductwork and on the interior components of your equipment.
