Are you home, relaxing? Good. Now, look up from your laptop or tablet and look around. Closer. Closer still. What do you see? Well, just about everything except the air.
When you think about it, that’s pretty funny since air occupies more space than everything else combined.
Not only can’t you see it, you also can’t see all the pollutants it contains, including:
- Dust
- Germs, including the Influenza A flu virus
- Pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the soles of your shoes
- Pollen
- Mold and mildew
- Off-gases from new carpets and other man-made materials
Put them all together and you have the perfect recipe for common colds, the flu, allergies, asthma, and more.
How to Rid Your Home of Harmful Pollutants
Here at Eagle Service Company, we offer numerous air quality solutions, including whole-house air filtration systems. The right system can rid your home of more than 99% of airborne pollutants. You’ll also notice fewer household odors, less dust to clean, and longer lasting AC and furnace systems. You see, clogged HVAC filters force the systems to work harder which can easily result in more frequent and costly repairs, plus shorter equipment life.
To beef up your arsenal against indoor air pollutants, there’s also plenty you can do on your own. Certain house plants, for example, remove bacteria from the air which then feed on plant nutrients. Keeping your windows open while cleaning house also helps, as does switching to all-natural cleaning products.
So, if you or a family member can’t stop sneezing, coughing or showing other signs of colds and allergies, contact Eagle today for a free indoor air quality proposal.
