It\u2019s well-known that, after some time, people tend to go \u201cnose-blind\u201d to certain odors in their home. You may have experienced this phenomenon if you\u2019ve ever returned home from a trip only to wonder, \u201cIs that what my house <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> smells like all the time?\u201d Unfortunately, poor air quality doesn\u2019t always reveal itself through musty or stale odors, which means that your home’s air quality could be subpar even if your home smells fresh. Here are the top four signs that your home\u2019s air quality could use some improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1. Guests and\/or Household Members Often Get the Sniffles<\/b><\/h3>\n

The change of seasons is prime time for allergy sufferers, which can make it tough to narrow down possible points of allergen exposure. But if you notice that you tend to sneeze or suffer congestion far more at home than you do while at work or in your car, your home\u2019s HVAC system could be harboring millions of microscopic allergens and other sinus-irritating particles.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2. Chronic Coughs During A\/C Season<\/b><\/h3>\n

Often, dust and other particles can settle into your home\u2019s vents and air conditioning system during the winter months. If you\u2019ve noticed that you or any other family members (including pets) begin to develop a bit of a cough during the week or two after you\u2019ve fired up your air conditioner for the first time, a heavy particulate count may be to blame.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3. You\u2019ve Recently Renovated Your Home or Garage<\/b><\/h3>\n

The fumes from paint, carpet, and new flooring can often seem to fade after just a few hours. But this, like \u201cnose blindness,\u201d is often the result of simply growing used to a particular odor. If you\u2019ve recently performed any home improvements that could have released volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, your home\u2019s air quality may be suffering as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4. You\u2019re Dusting More Often<\/b><\/h3>\n

Homes in agricultural or industrial-adjacent areas are often vulnerable to the dust and dirt that are generated by farming, heavy mowing, or the use of certain lawn chemicals. If you\u2019ve noticed that you seem to be dusting more frequently than usual, outside particles may be entering your home\u2019s HVAC system and being circulated by your heater or air conditioner.<\/span><\/p>\n

If any of these signs or symptoms sound familiar, there\u2019s no need for concern. Just contact the HVAC professionals at <\/span>A\/C Designs<\/span><\/a> to schedule a duct cleaning, HVAC tune-up, or one of any number of other services that can improve the quality of your home\u2019s air <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>your quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
