Tips for Improving Air Quality in Your Home
Texas residents have to deal with some extremely hot temperatures, and it is fortunate that most home owners enjoy the comfort of central air conditioning. However, if your cooling system is not maintained properly, poor air quality may become a problem. That can lead to headaches, itchy eyes, runny noses and even more serious problems for those who suffer from asthma, allergies and other respiratory-related difficulties. Fortunately, there are a few things that you can do to improve this situation on your own, and our Sugar Land air conditioning service is available to maintain and repair your cooling system to ensure that your indoor air is as clean and healthy as possible.
Improving Your Air Quality

Consider upgrading to a pleated filter that is designed to trap the smallest of particles. You will find many that are specifically made to combat various contaminants that include cigarette smoke, allergens and pet dander. While the kind of filter that you usedoes matter, it is equally important that you change the filter as often as it is needed. Take a look at it every month, and change it if it looks dirty.

However, if you can make time to regularly vacuum your home with a bag-less vacuum cleaner that utilizes a HEPA-type filter, then you can drastically improve the air quality inside of your home.
