The never-ending cold-weather in Madison, Virginia continues. Yet as the seasons start to shift and the weather slowly changes, your home’s comfort level is the one thing that should always remain constant. Here are three tips to keep your family happy, healthy and comfortable indoors.
Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Poor indoor air quality can cause multiple allergy-like symptoms, including continued sneezing, coughing and itchiness. No one wants to feel uncomfortable at home and maintaining a good air quality will help ensure that’s not the case.
There are many ways to make sure your home’s air quality is excellent. Clean often and use natural products to improve your home’s indoor air and keep your family healthy.
Use a Humidifier
We often think of high humidity as a problem because it can encourage biological and bacteria growth in your home. But not often do we stop to consider how low humidity can also affect your home’s comfort level. When humidity levels are too low, then you can start to feel symptoms like dry skin and itchiness.
Ideally, indoor humidity levels should always stay between 30 to 50 percent. If you see these levels falling below the 30 percent mark too often, then using a humidifier is a great solution to maintain a comfortable home environment.
Schedule HVAC Maintenance
Preventive HVAC maintenance is critical to achieving maximum system efficiency. Even if your system seems to be in perfect condition, scheduling a maintenance appointment twice a year will help prevent future problems and costly repairs. It will also guarantee indoor comfort for you and your loved ones.
