Research shows that most people spend up to 90 percent of their time indoors, mostly in their homes. With this in mind, it is very important to take precautions to improve your indoor air quality, especially with the increased pollution that is continually impacting our homes.
It is important to note that poor indoor air quality can adversely affect you and your family’s health and compromise the overall quality of life. Our elderly family members or people who have breathing problems and allergies are the ones who are mostly affected.
So what can you do to ensure that you have excellent indoor air quality? Below are a few tips to improve your home’s indoor air quality and ensure that you home is both cool and healthy.

Cleaning the duct improves both the air quality and the heating and air conditioning system. You can choose to either clean the duct yourself or have a professional do the cleaning. There are several reasons why you need to clean your ducts. These are:

2. Install Purifiers and Air filters
Air filters and purifiers are known to collect and eliminate allergens. They also reduce the need for cleaning your ducts. Air filters have the capability of removing up to 98% of pollutants throughout your home.
