Home Air Filters can help reduce indoor air pollutants and protect your health, but not all filters work the same way. When considering what type of air filter is best for your needs, it’s important to understand the different types, ratings, and maintenance requirements. Read this article to learn more about home air filters and how they can help improve the air quality in your home. http://ow.ly/lIOy30rvK1t #airfilter #health #airquality #homemaintenance #WINDreams

#DidYouKnow February is National Care About Your Indoor Air Month. The EPA reports that air pollutants such as dust, pollen, and mold are often two to three times higher indoors than outdoors. These pollutants can decrease the comfort and safety of your home, while putting children, older adults, and people with preexisting respiratory conditions at higher risk. This year as we continue to spend more time indoors due to COVID-19, it's more important than ever to keep your ind...oor air clean and healthy. Follow these easy steps to help keep your home healthy and safe: 1. Clean or replace air filters regularly following manufactures guidelines, and have your HVAC cleaned and inspected yearly to keep it running in peak condition. 2. Reduce risk of mold spores and growth by cleaning up spilled water and having leaks fixed as soon as possible. 3. Keep air vents clean and clear of debris, and use an exterior vent cover to prevent clogs and small animals from accessing your vents. 4. Maintain indoor humidity levels around 30% to 50% to help limit the presence of mold, mildew, and other particles. 5. Consider having Air Quality Testing, or Radon and Mold Testing by a professional to check the current condition of your indoor air and provide recommendations for next steps. #homeinspection #airquality #WINDreams

#DidYouKnow January is National Radon Action Month, but radon presence in your home can pose a serious health risk at any time. Radon gas is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and is a problem in 1 out of 15 homes in the US. Even if your home has been tested before, changes in how you use the home or change in climate can result in risk from radon. 1. Radon levels can vary significantly between seasons. If you had a test conducted during warmer months, have your ...home re-tested in winter. 2. Changes to your home can impact radon presence. Make sure to get a radon test after completing home construction projects or changing your HVAC system. 3. Radon tests are usually conducted in the lowest areas of the home that are used regularly. If your radon test was conducted on a first floor, but you have recently begun to use your basement more frequently, make sure to schedule a test for your basement. 4. Some homeowners opt to use DIY quick radon test kits. These kits are not as accurate as tests conducted by professionals, and may not have been placed correctly. For most accurate results, contact a professional who will use state-of-the-art equipment, and have the experience and expertise to identify best placement. 5. Radon gas has been found in all types of homes across the U.S. The EPA recommends radon testing for all homes below the third floor. As January comes to a close and you are thinking of health and safety for year ahead, don't wait to schedule your Radon Test.

High levels of radon in your home is the last thing anyone wants to hear. Fortunately, there are many radon mitigation systems and techniques that can help solve this problem. http://ow.ly/Bd3V30rusnW #radonmitigation #radon #homemaintenance #health #WINDreams

#DidYouKnow modern houses are more airtight than older homes. This improves energy efficiency of the HVAC system, but can result in poor indoor air quality and humidity buildup. If your home is not properly vented, it can lead to health issues and mold growth. One way to protect against this is to use Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) or Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV). 1. Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) systems use existing heat in the stale air in your home to preheat inco...ming fresh air and save money on heating bills. HRV systems do not mix to pass humidity. 2. Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) systems transfer heat between stale air and incoming fresh air similar to HRV systems, but also transfer humidity as well. This helps maintain the humidity levels in your home. Choosing which system is right for your home is dependent on climate and your specific needs. For example, if your home is already above 60% humidity in winter, HRV may be a better choice as it will lower humidity level while ERV will keep it high. If your home is too dry in winter ERV will help retain humidity at a reasonable level.
