Breathe Easy in August: Why Indoor Air Quality Matters More Than Ever

While August wraps up summer, it also kicks off the season of back-to-school routines, closed windows, and longer hours spent indoors. That makes indoor air quality (IAQ) more important than ever for your family’s health and your HVAC system’s performance.

Let’s break down why August is the perfect time to focus on your home’s air – and what you can do about it.

What’s Hiding in Your Air?

Dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria – even wildfire smoke particles can linger inside your home. During hot months when we rely heavily on AC, air circulation stays trapped indoors. Without proper filtration, you’re breathing all of it in.

August IAQ Checklist

Here’s what we recommend checking off before fall hits:

  1. Replace your HVAC Filters
    • Do this every 1-3 months (especially with pets or allergies).
    • Upgrade to high-efficiency MERV 11+ filters for better filtration.
  2. Have You Air Ducts Inspected
    • Ducts can trap dust, mold, and allergens.
    • Cleaning them boosts air quality and efficiency.
  3. Install an IAQ Product
    • UV light kills bacteria and mold inside your system.
    • Whole-home air purifiers reduce allergens and airborne viruses.
  4. Check Humidity Levels
    • August humidity can lead to mold and mildew. A whole-home dehumidifier keeps it in check.

Bonus: Your HVAC System Works Better with Cleaner Air

When your system isn’t clogged with dust and debris, it runs smoother and lasts longer. Investing in IAQ upgrades is a win for your health and your energy bill.
