Your air conditioner isn't just good for cooling your home. A well-maintained HVAC unit can improve the air quality in your home. However, if your HVAC unit is old or malfunctioning, it can hurt the quality of air you and your family breathe. 

If properly maintained, your HVAC system will remove humidity from the air while cooling your home. It also can filter dust and other particles out of the air. Some HVAC systems even include outdoor air intakes, which dramatically increases ventilation in your home and improves air quality.

How Do I Know If My HVAC System is Negatively Affecting My Air Quality?

There are a few easy ways to tell if your HVAC system is affecting your air quality. 

• Your house is extremely humid. Humidity creates a great environment for mold to grow, and mold is an allergen. A properly functioning HVAC system removes moisture from the air. 
• Your home has more dust than usual. This can indicate the filters on your HVAC system are clogged or the system is dirty and is spreading dust around your home. 
• You have allergy symptoms that you can't explain. Coughing, sneezing, or an irritated nose and throat are all signs your home's air quality is poor. 

When Should I Call A Professional?

If you suspect your air quality is poor, especially if you are feeling ill, you should call in the experts. Breathing in contaminated air can make you and your family sick. With indoor air quality testing, you can put your mind at ease and find the root cause of the bad air quality, whether it's mold or dust. Then, your professional air quality testers can help you with a solution.
