Signs That Indoor Air Quality May Be Poor
If household members complain of allergy symptoms while in the home, it may be time to have the HVAC system checked and serviced. Some people swear that they feel fine while out and about, but when they come home they start getting sick. The following symptoms could be signed that the air quality in the home is the problem:
- Asthma
- Shortness of breath
- Eye irritation such as watery eyes or eye itchiness
- Sore throat or throat irritation
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Sinus pressure
- Coughing
- Respiratory symptoms
- Frequent colds
- Bronchitis
- Nausea
Causes of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Causes of poor indoor air quality include:
- Gases and toxic particles released from water heaters, fireplaces, stoves, ovens, furnaces, heaters, and other home appliances.
- Allergens are released from dust mites, beloved pets, and smokers.
- Chemicals released from household items like new carpet, new furniture, paints, padding, home glues, Teflon pans, craft supplies, non-toxic markers, cleaning products, and even air fresheners.
How Residential HVAC Services Can Help
Once people become aware of indoor air problems, they want to know how residential HVAC services can help. A trained technician can come to the home and inspect the HVAC system for signs of mold, dirt, dust, musty odors, and other common contaminants frequently found in residential HVAC systems. These companies can come to the home for regular maintenance and change the air filters in the systems on a schedule.
Technicians who are trained Clean Air Response Experts (CARE) can install Whole-Home Air Cleaners. While some companies may suggest using air purifiers in select rooms, a Whole-Home Air Cleaner filters all of the air in the home. This means that those who live in the home are breathing safe air in every room, not just in bedrooms or other selected rooms.
How to Make Sure The Service Company is a Good One
Preventing Future Air Quality Problems
Once the HVAC repairs have been made, there are some steps that homeowners can take to help improve home air quality and prevent future problems. First, avoid all unnecessary smells and chemicals. This means skipping air fresheners and opening windows instead. Avoid cooking with Teflon pans, and instead, use chemical-free pans.
When possible, purchase furniture floor models that have been airing out instead of furniture that has been stored in a box. If buying a new carpet, look for a low volatile organic compound (VOC) carpet and request that it sit out unrolled for a few days so it can air out. The same goes for paints. Choose a low-VOC option, and paint with the windows open.
In conclusion, home air quality is important as, if the air is dirty, it can make the family sick. Be sure to have the HVAC system regularly checked for problems and to frequently change air filters on a set schedule. Once problems have been addressed, do what can be done to prevent future problems and keep the air quality as good as possible.

Great Company. Great Employees.
I know this is a long review but to give a short review without details wouldn't be fair to TSS or their employees.
Greg did a great job with the AC maintenance as well. He has a great personal memory and even remembered the names of our cats!
