Indoor Air Quality Services

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is one of the most important — yet often overlooked — aspects of our homes and HVAC systems that can have a huge impact on our lives. Constantly being forced to breathe less than adequate air while indoors can lead to several negative consequences, from worsened allergies to serious respiratory issues.

When you’re in search of Oklahoma City IAQ solutions and want nothing less than the best, then the team here at Hill & Company is ready to provide what you need to ensure that every breath you take at home is as clean as possible.

Poorly Maintained Air Ducts

Neglected air ducts are one of the leading contributors to poor indoor air quality. We recommend that air ducts be professionally cleaned at least once every 2-3 years to account for the problematic build-up of dirt and debris.

Failing to do so can greatly lower your IAQ by allowing particulates to be picked up by your system’s airflow and carried into your home.

Dirty Air Filters

You should replace your home’s air filters at least once every 90 days to ensure proper filtration and optimal system function. While it may seem like a hassle, being diligent about your filter replacements is one the easiest ways to make a drastic difference to your home’s overall air quality.

Additionally, if someone in your home is suffering from asthma or respiratory issues, going the extra mile and replacing your filters as often as once a month can sometimes mean all the difference for someone with a compromised respiratory system.

Improper Kitchen Ventilation

Another major cause of indoor air pollution is the gases produced during home cooking. During the normal cooking process, it’s not uncommon for the following pollutants to be released into the air:

• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂)
• Formaldehyde
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Particulate matter

If you’re going to cook at home, your kitchen must be properly ventilated with regular access to fresh air. Ideally, your kitchen should have access to a proper overhead ventilation system.

Poor Cleaning Habits

Another easy way the average homeowner can positively impact their indoor air quality is by being diligent about their cleaning routine. It might seem cumbersome, but vacuuming and dusting once a week — along with airing out curtains and laundering linens — can go a long way in helping you maintain good indoor air quality.

Unchecked Pet Dander

Unfortunately, our furry friends are a serious contributor to indoor allergens and respiratory issues. Anyone who has owned a dog or cat knows how fur has a nearly magical way of finding its way everywhere — including the air you breathe!

The best way to keep pet dander in check is by brushing regularly, preferably in an outdoor, well-ventilated area.
