Indoor Air Quality
Air care. Having your ductwork system cleaned and sealed will improve air quality and also cut heating & cooling costs.
Could the air inside your home be affecting your health? Since most people spend nearly 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a critical role in overall wellness. Poor IAQ has even been linked to a collection of symptoms known as Sick Building Syndrome, which can include allergies, respiratory irritation, headaches, and recurring illnesses.
Because indoor air pollution comes from many sources, improving IAQ requires a well-rounded approach. Addressing ventilation, filtration, moisture control, and HVAC performance together produces the best results.

Below is a helpful overview of practical steps homeowners can take to improve indoor air quality.
Maintaining a smoke-free home is one of the simplest ways to protect indoor air. It's also important to consistently use bathroom exhaust fans and kitchen range hoods, which help remove odors, excess moisture, and combustion byproducts from cooking appliances.
Regularly replacing the air filter in your forced-air HVAC system is another easy but effective way to reduce airborne dust, allergens, and debris.
Many conventional cleaners contain harsh chemicals such as bleach and solvents that can negatively impact indoor air. Today, eco-friendly and low-toxicity alternatives are widely available and just as effective.
When purchasing furniture or home furnishings, look for products that are free of formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants can be released into the air over time, contributing to long-term indoor air quality problems.
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, which becomes hazardous when disturbed or deteriorated. Lead dust and paint chips are particularly dangerous for children. DIY lead test kits are available, and if lead is detected, your local health department and the EPA can provide guidance on safe remediation options.
Testing for radon gas is also essential. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that enters homes through soil and foundation openings. If test results exceed 4 picocuries per liter, a qualified radon mitigation professional should be contacted. Proper mitigation systems can reliably keep radon levels low.
Visible mold growth or musty odors indicate excess moisture and airborne mold spores, which can trigger health issues. The most effective way to prevent mold is to manage moisture levels throughout the home.
Ensure bathroom exhaust fans vent outdoors—not into attic spaces. Repair plumbing leaks promptly, keep basements and crawl spaces dry with proper waterproofing, and use dehumidifiers when necessary to maintain indoor humidity below 60%. These measures also help limit dust mite populations, another common contributor to poor IAQ.
Prestige Energy Solutions can inspect your furnace or boiler to confirm that combustion gases are venting safely and efficiently. Other fuel-burning appliances, including water heaters and gas fireplaces, should also be checked to prevent carbon monoxide from entering your living space.
If your home uses ducted heating or cooling, professional duct sealing and cleaning can make a significant difference. Our air duct cleaning services help reduce airborne dust and contaminants, while duct sealing prevents polluted air from crawl spaces or basements from being pulled into your home. These services also improve HVAC efficiency and reduce energy costs.
