Winters Home Services Offers Tips for Better Air Quality in the Home

DSC06078 smallAsthma rates in Massachusetts are among the highest in the nation.  Pollen and other allergens are triggers for residents suffering from allergies and asthma.

Tim Flynn of Winters Home Services, providers of plumbing, heating, cooling and air quality services to residents throughout the greater Boston area, offers helpful tips for reducing allergens and improving overall indoor air quality.

According to Flynn, “Indoor and outdoor irritants can trigger an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Outdoor triggers include tree, grass and weed pollen, vehicle exhaust, wood smoke, and fumes. Indoor triggers include pollen entering the home from open windows, secondhand smoke, dust mites, mold, chemicals, cockroaches and other pests.”

Steps to take to reduce irritants include cleaning surfaces weekly with a damp cloth, vacuuming with a HEPA filter, keeping humidity low, and controlling pests.

It’s imperative that homeowners also address any water leaks, which can lead to mold growth. Replacing air filters and ensuring routine maintenance and repair of air conditioning units is key. Installing an ultra-high efficiency air purifier such as IQAir, one of the highest rated air purifying systems in the U.S. and available through Winters Home Services, may also significantly improve air quality.

“Poor indoor air quality can make anyone feel sick, but it greatly affects individuals who suffer from allergies and asthma,” said Flynn. “Knowing how to decrease pollutants and allergens in the home is the first step. Once homeowners gain a better understanding of the triggers, then it’s simply a matter of taking those proactive steps which will help to improve the quality of life for allergy and asthma sufferers.”
