Indoor Air Quality in Eldridge/West Oaks

Indoor air can contain five times as many pollutants as the air outside your home, largely due to pollutants getting trapped inside and having nowhere to go.

If you want fresher, cleaner air, consult our pros at Texas Pride AC & Heating and learn about our indoor air quality solutions in the Eldridge/West Oaks area.

Common Air Pollutants

Indoor air pollutants come from quite a few sources, some of which are within your control, others not. Let’s take a look at the most common indoor air pollutants.

• Pet dander: You love your furry pal, but it sure does shed something fierce. Vacuuming helps a little, but a couple hours later, you spot tufts of fur wafting through the air again. If you’ve got allergies, that dander has to go.
• Pollen: Eldridge/West Oaks is home to gorgeous flowers, like lantana, black-eyed Susan, and honeysuckle, that burst into life when spring rolls around. These flowers may be pretty, but their pollen does a number on your sinuses.
• Gas-burning appliances: You may think you can’t live without your gas stove, but it and other gas appliances contaminate the air with soot and other nasties.
• Moldy ventilation systems: If you haven’t looked inside your air ducts lately, you might be horrified to find them coated with black mold. You could pay for mold remediation, but unless you tackle the source of the problem, those spores will come back before long.
• Chemicals from building materials: If you recently built or renovated your house and it smells like chemicals, blame your materials. Items such as pressed-wood furniture and carpeting can contain chemicals that give you headaches or worse.

Is Poor Indoor Air Quality the Cause of Your Health Woes?

If your indoor air quality isn’t up to par, you might feel like you’re constantly coming down with a cold or the flu. Symptoms from exposure to VOCs (volatile organic compounds) include headaches, nausea, eye irritation, and breathing difficulties.

On top of that, if you have asthma, allergies, or any other respiratory condition, poor-quality air can make your symptoms much worse. Certain airborne pollutants can literally be a death sentence for the elderly and immunocompromised.

Don’t forget about the psychological effects of constantly breathing in polluted air. It’s stressful to feel like you’re always sick, tired, and fatigued. Feeling terrible mentally and physically can get in the way of living a normal life.

Breathe Easier With Our IAQ Solutions

At Texas Pride, we believe you shouldn’t have to live with poor-quality air another day. We offer cutting-edge air filtration systems that can capture airborne pollutants and stop them from traveling through your home.

We can also swap out your HVAC filter for one with a better MERV rating. The thicker the filter, the higher the rating, and the better it will be at stopping pollutants in their tracks.

Air purifiers do an excellent job of removing particulate matter from your home’s air. They can capture junk like pollen, pet dander, dust, and smoke. Many Houstonians like pairing their air purifiers with humidity control systems and UV lights, which kill viruses and bacteria.

Not sure which system to choose? Just give us a call and we’ll help you decide.
