Indoor Air Quality

Having clean, filtered air is vital to your health and comfort level during any season. Poor indoor air quality can cause any number of issues such as headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. There are also certain illnesses that have been linked to air-borne contaminants such as as asthma. Therefore it’s important to have your Seattle, WA home’s indoor air quality checked and evaluated by a licensed HVAC contractor such as South West Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electric.

A common misconception is that our indoor air quality is better than outside. However, under average circumstances, indoor air quality is actually worse than outside. And considering we spend most of our time inside, you want to ensure that the air quality in your home does not contribute to any health problems. Therefore, South West wants to help you ensure that your indoor air quality is at the standard it should be — contributing to a healthy environment for you and your family.

The most effective way to improve indoor air is to eliminate sources of pollutants or reduce their emissions. This can be achieved through:

• Proper ventilation – increase the amount of fresh air that is brought indoors.
• Change filters regularly to trap dust and other pollutants
• Filter and sanitize indoor air
