Introduction
It’s not just the weather that gets colder and more uncomfortable during winter. The air in your home can get stale and uncomfortable, too. Central vacuum systems are used to help improve indoor air quality (IAQ) by removing dust, allergens, and other particulates from the air and exhausting them outside of your family’s living area.
What Is Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is the quality of air within buildings. It can be affected by many different sources, including dust mites and pet dander, mold spores, and chemical pollutants. Indoor air quality is important because it affects your health – if you’re breathing in contaminants on a regular basis it will trigger respiratory problems like chronic coughing or asthma attacks throughout Chester County and surrounding areas.
Why Indoor Air Quality Decreases During Winter
During the winter months, people tend to use more heat in their homes. The number of fires and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning incidents increase during these months. Wood stoves, kerosene heaters, fireplaces, and baseboard heating units are also common sources of indoor air pollution as they produce smoke that can affect your health.
In addition to increasing the use of open flames during this time of year, many homeowners seal off their homes tightly against moisture and cold air. As a result, there’s less exchange between inside and outside air—and less fresh oxygen coming into your home than you may realize.
How A Central Vacuum System Can Help
A central vacuum system can reduce allergens, dust, and other pollutants in your home by sucking in dirty air and transporting it outside of the living space. Traditional vacuum cleaners and cordless brooms recirculate dirty air into the same room where you use the appliance. Additionally, a central vacuum system exhausts 100% of dirty air outside of your living space.
