I’m upset about the indoor air quality in our home, but due to extreme local weather, I am forced to keep the windows closed for around many months of the year.
The drastic frigid during the Winter time plus excessive heat in the Summer makes it necessary to run the oil furnace plus air conditioning system most of the time.
The impact of energy bills on our budget has prompted me to tightly seal up the home to avoid waste. I’ve managed to reduce energy losses, but I’ve also reduced essential ventilation. The heated plus cooled air is kept contained within the house. Unfortunately, so are all sorts of pollutants, then harmful toxins, mold spores, pollen, dust plus dander get circulated by the Heating plus A/C plan plus spread throughout the house. Any accumulation of debris within the HVAC duct gets blown into our breathing air every time the oil furnace or air conditioning system runs, cleaning products, pesticides, humidity, personal hygiene products, cooking, carpets plus the family pet all contribute to the problem. I make sure to frequently vacuum, clean plus dust, there’s consistently stuff floating the air plus musty smells. There’s condensation running down the window panes in the summer. During the winter, the air gets so dry that all of us have issues with static shock. I’m aware of the impact of indoor air quality on the integrity of home furnishings plus our family’s health. I’ve been researching the odd styles of whole-house air quality accessories. There are various possibilities available, which each target unique issues. I can’t decide on the right option for our exact situation.
