According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air is up to five times more polluted than indoor air. There are many sources of contaminates – dust, pollen from plants, carpet and pet dander, for example – and without proper ventilation, these impurities cannot escape the home.
Humidity – which breeds bacteria, viruses, mildew, old, and dust – is caused by too much moisture in the air. The side effects of this include respiratory problems, sore throats, and skin irritation.
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, reports that 50% of illnesses are caused or aggravated by poor indoor air quality. The San Antonio air conditioning specialists at Tiger Services offer indoor air evaluations, which take a look at your equipment, current filtration system, air ducts, and possible sources of the issues.
Some signs that you may need an inspection include if you think your home is unusually dusty or if you have a persistent case of the sniffles. While poor indoor air quality is a discomfort, it can be downright dangerous and can cause expensive damage to your home.
