Home Air Quality
Keep the Air in Your Home Fresh
Air quality depends on a number of factors. Humidity, temperature, ventilation, and chemical or other pollutants all play a role. Contaminants can build up in your home, resulting in both unpleasant odors and potentially serious health issues such as:
- Burning sinuses
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Worse allergic reactions
- Respiratory issues
- Heart disease
- Flu-like symptoms
By keeping your home’s ventilation system clean and clear of dust, mold, and other problematic contaminants, you can avoid these sorts of issues. Pure Air Alabama are experts when it comes to vent cleaning. If you think your vents might be making you sick, give us a call!

Preventing Mold and Mildew Build-Up
Mold and Mildew are some of the most common contaminants in warm, humid environments. Mold spores thrive on moisture, and can linger for long periods of time in dark and humid locations. The strong, musty odor they produce can quickly prove overwhelming in a home.
Even slightly higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. To avoid providing mold a place to stay in you home, keep indoor humidity below 45 percent. Dehumidifiers are a great way to prevent mold growth if you live in a humid climate.
Making sure that your Air Conditioning or Heating unit is working properly can help to prevent major mold and mildew problems. Air conditioning drip pans should be kept clean, and drain lines should be free of obstructions and flowing properly. If your AC or heating system isn’t the right size for your home it might not be removing enough humidity. Checking the duct system for leaks will help to avoid potentially hidden problems. Cleaning the ventilation and duct system in your home can remove the places where mold would start to grow.
