Elimination

No home is immune to indoor air quality problems. Some homes are filled with allergy-aggravating contaminants, while others have poor air circulation and ventilation.

Steps You Can Take

One of the best ways to control contaminants is to eliminate them at the source. This can be accomplished by keeping surfaces in your home clean and uncluttered. It’s also a good idea to reduce moisture in the bathroom, laundry room, basement and other water-sensitive areas.

System That Can Help

If there’s anyone in your household with asthma or other respiratory problems, you may want to invest in an air purification system. Designed to attach to your furnace or air handler, these systems remove and destroy contaminants before air is recirculated into your home.
