FIND OUT IF YOUR AIR QUALITY IS BAD
Stop Breathing Dirty, Unhealthy Air
High humidity and contaminant levels in your home can cause a wide variety of respiratory issues. Fortunately, Old Line Heating and Air provides indoor air quality testing services in Pylesville, MD and surrounding areas. We can test the quality of your air and suggest ways to improve it.
How Is Poor Air Quality Created In Your Home?
Dirty HVAC filters
Poor air quality can come from neglected HVAC filters that become clogged with dust and pollutants. These dirty filters can’t trap airborne particles anymore. This leads to recirculation of the bad and breathing quality issues for people in your home.
Inefficient ductwork
Inefficient ductwork can contribute to poor indoor air quality. Ductwork can allow dust, mold, and allergens to build up and spread throughout home or office. Leaky ducts can let in contaminants and reduce air circulation. This compromises the health and comfort of your home or office.
Outdated HVAC systems
Outdated HVAC systems often lack modern filtration. This can allow allergens and pollutants to circulate freely, diminishing indoor air quality. Their inefficiency may result in bad humidity control fostering mold growth. Mold in your HVAC system can worsen respiratory issues.
Poor insulation
Poor insulation can allow outdoor pollutants to infiltrate your home or office. Too little insulation can lead to increased moisture buildup. This creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. This can worsen respiratory problems and degrade indoor air quality.
