When summer hits Texas, most of us head indoors to stay cool. But did you know that the air inside your home could be more polluted than the air outside? That’s right. During high heat, your indoor air quality (IAQ) can actually get worse. At North Tarrant Heat & Air, we want to help you stay comfortable, cool, and breathe cleaner air all summer long.
Why Air Quality Drops in the Summer
When temperatures soar, we shut our doors and windows and run the AC around the clock. While this keeps your home cool, it also traps indoor pollutants like dust, pet dander, allergens, and mold spores. Add in humidity, and you’ve got a recipe for stale, dirty air.
Poor air quality can lead to sneezing, itchy eyes, headaches, and even worsen asthma or allergies, especially for kids and older adults. The good news is, your HVAC system can help.
Simple Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality
- Change Your Filters Often
Your AC filter is your first defense against dirty air. In the summer, you should change it every one to two months to keep airflow strong and dust out of your home. - Add a Whole-Home Air Purifier
Looking for a bigger boost? A system like Dust-Free Active or Trane CleanEffects can remove up to 99 percent of airborne particles. These units connect directly to your HVAC system and clean the air in every room, not just one area. - Keep Humidity Under Control
Texas heat comes with plenty of moisture. High humidity can lead to mold growth and musty smells. Installing a dehumidifier or properly maintaining your system can keep things balanced. - Schedule an HVAC Tune-Up
A clean system runs better and keeps your air cleaner too. Our team can inspect and clean your unit, check ductwork, and make sure everything is running efficiently and safely.
