Improve you Indoor Air Quality this Winter

When cold weather sets in, most Virginia homeowners keep their windows closed and run their heating systems for months at a time. While this keeps you warm, it can also trap dust, allergens, and other pollutants inside your home. Preparing your indoor air quality (IAQ) before winter can help you breathe easier all season.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters in Winter:

• Closed windows mean less fresh air circulation.

• Dry indoor air can cause respiratory irritation and static electricity.

• More time indoors increases exposure to dust, pet dander, and airborne bacteria.

Steps to Improve IAQ Before Winter:

• Upgrade your air filter – High-efficiency filters can capture more allergens and particles.

• Add a humidifier – Maintain healthy humidity levels (30–50%) to reduce dryness and irritation.

• Clean air ducts – Remove built-up dust and debris before it circulates through your home.

• Install an air purifier – Capture pollutants, bacteria, and even some viruses.

• Schedule a professional IAQ assessment – Identify hidden air quality problems before they worsen.
