Do you have respiratory concerns and family breathing difficulties? Do you have a baby in the house? Do you have an elderly parent or grandparent living with you? Generally speaking the very old and the very young tend to have more respiratory issues than middle-aged people, but respiratory concerns are certainly common among all people.
If you are concerned about having good indoor air quality and lessening respiratory concerns of the people you live with, you should know that respiratory issues can be helped with various kinds of HVAC equipment.
First of all, let’s start with whole house humidifiers. At this time of year, the air is generally dryer. Or dry the air oh, the more your Woodwork and wood furniture suffers, and the more you are likely to suffer with certain breathing concerns and sinus issues. A whole house humidifier that is part of your air conditioning system is a good investment for your health. If you do not have the option of getting a whole humidifier, you can always buy a portable humidifier and plug it into the wall. In fact, this is a good way to make sure that a particular room has enough humidity, such as a baby nursery. Another kind of HVAC equipment that helps with breathing issues is the proper air conditioning filter. HEPA filters and UV air conditioning filters are known to help with sinus and breathing problems. UVA air conditioning filters, especially, are useful because they utilize ultraviolet light to kill mold and germ spores. Another option is a dehumidifier. Here in the South, the majority of our year is exceptionally humid. Humidity grows mildew and mold and all sorts of disgusting things. If you live in the south or somewhere where there is a lot of humidity, you might consider getting a dehumidifier in your HVAC system.
