If you’re looking to have cleaner air in your house—and more people are concerned about this than ever before—you have several options.

These filters need professionals to plumb them into the ductwork (the filter that’s already in place on the HVAC system isn’t for air cleaning purposes). Filters are an excellent method for improving indoor air quality, and most homes can benefit from them. 

However, air filters sometimes need the assistance of air purifiers. The right air filtration and air purification system combination can remove more than 98% of unwanted particles from the air circulating through a home.

There are two times during the year when the indoor air quality inside a home can take a steep plunge. The first is the beginning of spring, which is prime time for allergies. The second is during the coldest period of winter. 

What makes winter so difficult? Because in order for a home to stay comfortable and not allow all the heat inside to escape outside, the doors and windows must stay shut. This prevents fresh air circulation through the house that removes dry and pollutant-filled air. 

The good news is that this isn’t a hopeless situation. If you want to enjoy better indoor air quality in your house this season, our team at Dowd Mechanical can help you with several special HVAC services. Below are some of the ways we can help you enjoy a better life indoors this winter.
