A Tip from Pittsburgh"},"content":{"rendered":"

One of the easiest ways to protect the health of your family is by maintaining high air quality<\/a> in your Pittsburgh\u00a0home. Without good air quality, you run the risk of contracting Sick Building Syndrome or making other problems like allergies or asthma worse. Depending on what type of air quality system you already have in place, there are many things you can do to improve your air quality.<\/p>\n

Filter Changes<\/h3>\n

The easiest way to improve air quality is to maintain the equipment you already have. Specifically, change your filters regularly. Filters each have a specified period of time for which they will last. However, if your home has high levels of larger contaminants like pollen and dander, you may need to change your filter more often.<\/p>\n

Beyond filter changes, make sure your filtration device uses high quality HEPA filters, capable of stopping debris as small as 0.3 microns.<\/p>\n

New Equipment<\/h3>\n

Finally, you can buy new equipment that does a better job of removing contaminants from your indoor air. If you have only a simple air filter, consider getting a purifier<\/a> as well to remove other contaminants like smoke and gas. If you have a smaller piece of equipment that works well but longer keeps up with the entire house, there are larger purifiers on the market that can handle a bigger space. Additionally, proper ventilation can help with your indoor air quality if you don\u2019t currently have enough fresh air circulating through your home.<\/p>\n

No matter what your problem, there is a solution you can work toward to keep the indoor air quality of your home high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
