The air you breathe has major impacts on your health and well-being. And with the amount of time that people spend indoors\u2014estimated at more than 90%\u2014making sure your indoor air is of good quality is critical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different places have different air quality conditions. For example, in the dry and sandy southwest, dust is a major problem. In Florida\u2019s climate, what are the most important things you can do to keep your indoor air as clean and healthy as possible? Here are some suggestions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1: Dehumidifiers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no doubt that humidity is a big deal in Florida. In fact, Florida is the fourth most humid state in the country! With an average humidity of 85.58%, when the ideal humidity is between 30 and 50%,, what can we do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A whole house dehumidifier can get your indoor humidity levels right down to a percentage that\u2019s perfect for comfortable breathing. This will also help avoid moisture damage to woodwork, paint, and wallpaper. It will decrease the workload of your air conditioner since you can keep your thermostat higher and feel just as cool when there\u2019s less humidity in the air. And it will also cut down on the growth of mold in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2: Air Purifiers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another option for preventing mold and mildew is a whole house UV air purifier. This device kills mold spores that float through the air with ultraviolet light as the air passes through its filtration and purification system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also kills other organic pathogens like bacteria\u2014which normally reproduce very quickly and thrive in warm temperatures like the Florida climate\u2014and pollen, which is a year-round problem here. Removing these things from the air reduces allergy and asthma symptoms, improves respiratory and skin health, improves sleep, and can even cut down on headaches and lethargy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s not just your health that will improve with an air purifier. Your home will be in better shape, too! With mold less likely to grow, not only will there not be unsightly and hazardous mildew growth, but your home will smell fresher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your nose detects an aroma, that\u2019s because the particles are entering your respiratory system. Those stinky running shoes are sending foot bacteria right up your nose! Sneaker stink, pet odor, and other unpleasant smells can be eliminated with an air purifier. And with pollen, pet hair, and other contaminants being snatched out of the air, your home will also accumulate less dust.

3: Duct Sealing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a serious dust problem in your home, you might like to find out where it\u2019s coming from. And it\u2019s entirely possible that it\u2019s coming in through damaged ductwork. If there are cracks, tears, or disconnected segments of ductwork in your home, they can pull in air from unoccupied places like between your walls or in your attic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means your air conditioning isn\u2019t working as well as it should be, but it also means all kinds of particles can be sucked into the damaged sections and blown out your vents into your home. This could include anything from sawdust to rodent mess to fibers of insulation, and you don\u2019t want to breathe it. Have it checked by a professional to determine which places need to be resealed.
