Your home should be a place of comfort, safety, and clean air for you and your family. Since the
average person spends about 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) is more
important than ever. At Essig, we’re here to make home solutions easy for Berks County
homeowners, keeping your air clean, your family healthy, and your home comfortable. Here are
five simple ways to improve your indoor air quality, starting today!
1. Change Your Air Filters
Your HVAC system does more than just keep your home at the perfect temperature. It also
filters the air throughout your home. Over time, filters fill up with dust, allergens, and other
pollutants, reducing efficiency and letting dirty air circulate. The simple solution? Change your
air filters at least every 90 days. Doing this improves system efficiency, extends its lifespan, and
keeps your air clean and breathable.
2. Inspect and Seal Your Air Ducts
Leaky or dirty ducts can let pollutants, dust, and debris slip into your home and even waste up
to 30% of your heated or cooled air! Essig makes duct sealing easy, restoring comfort while
improving efficiency and air quality. Our team cleans and seals your ducts so you get the
freshest, healthiest air possible, without wasting energy.
3. Use Exhaust Vents Wisely
Cooking can introduce pollutants into your home, including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde,
and other irritants. Whether you’re using gas, electric, or wood stoves, proper ventilation is key.
Use kitchen exhaust fans while cooking to remove airborne contaminants and keep the air in
your home safe for your family.
4. Control Humidity Levels
High humidity creates the perfect environment for mold, bacteria, and allergens to thrive,
leading to respiratory issues and allergy triggers. Use dehumidifiers or your HVAC system’s
humidity controls to keep your home’s moisture levels in check. A dry, balanced home is a
healthier home.
5. Keep Rugs and Carpets Clean
Rugs and carpets add comfort and style, but they also trap dust, pet dander, and debris.
Regular vacuuming and deep cleaning help reduce allergens and keep the air in your home
fresh. Combine this with our duct sealing solutions, and your home’s air can be cleaner than
Ever!
