When you think about your HVAC system, you probably think about staying warm in the winter or cool in the summer. But did you know your system also plays a big role in your indoor air quality? That’s right — your HVAC system could be helping you breathe easier, or it could be making the air in your home worse.
At North Tarrant Heat & Air, we want to help you understand how your HVAC system affects the air you and your family breathe every day — and how to make sure it is working for you, not against you.
How Your HVAC System Affects Air Quality
Your HVAC system moves air throughout your home. That means it also spreads whatever is in that air — dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even bacteria. If your system is not clean or properly maintained, it can circulate dirty air, which can trigger allergies, asthma, and other health issues.
But there is good news. With the right upgrades and care, your HVAC system can become one of the best tools you have for cleaner, healthier air.
Signs Your HVAC Might Be Making Air Quality Worse
- Dust builds up quickly around vents
- Musty or stale smells when the system runs
- More allergy symptoms indoors than outdoors
- Visible mold near vents or on filters
- It has been months since your last filter change
If any of this sounds familiar, your HVAC system may be circulating more than just air.
How to Help Your HVAC System Clean the Air
Change Your Filters Regularly
Your air filter traps dust and allergens before they spread. Changing it every one to three months is one of the easiest ways to improve indoor air quality.
Add an Air Purifier
Whole-home air purifiers like Dust-Free Actives and Trane CleanEffects™ attach directly to your HVAC system and can remove up to 99 percent of airborne particles.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
A clean system works better and lasts longer. Our maintenance services keep your HVAC system running smoothly and help prevent indoor air pollution.
Consider a Duct Cleaning
If your ducts are full of dust and debris, that dirt gets blown right back into your home. Duct cleaning can make a big difference in your air quality.
