Every home should have healthy air quality. There are numerous things that can cause your indoor air quality to reach unhealthy levels. Look out for these signs that you have unhealthy indoor air in your Central Point, OR, home:
Congestion and Coughing
There are airborne particles anywhere you go, but the concentration of these particles is likely to be higher indoors. This can cause you to develop congestion and a serious cough.
Headaches
If you’re exposed to chemicals on a frequent basis, such as household cleaners and pesticides, you’re more likely to get headaches. Make sure that you have proper ventilation when using these products to maintain healthy indoor air quality.
Dizziness and Fatigue
Some everyday household chemicals can cause you to become dizzy if you’re exposed to them in high concentrations. If this becomes overwhelming and you feel fatigued, you may have a worse problem, such as a gas leak in your home. In cases like that, leave your house and have a professional come by for an inspection right away.
Allergies
If you experience out-of-season allergy symptoms suddenly, the issue could be with your home’s air quality. Consider investing in an air purifier, change the air filter in your HVAC system and seal any gaps in your home. By taking these steps, you’ll boost your indoor air quality.
Skin Issues
If your skin becomes overly dry or itchy, one reason could be that there are irritants circulating in your home. This is especially the case for people who have sensitive skin and deal with acne, eczema and other skin problems.
These signs of poor air quality and others should lead to further examination. Reach out to Caveman Heating and Air Conditioning if you’re in the Central Point, OR, area and need indoor air quality services you can trust.
