How to Deal with the Indoor Air Quality Challenges of Fall

Like every other season of the year, fall brings its own set of challenges when it comes to indoor air quality. These challenges include dust, chemicals, poor air circulation, humidity and mold. This can spell trouble for those who suffer from allergies and respiratory disorders. Luckily, it is possible to avoid these fall season challenges.

In this post, All Seasons, Inc., one of the country’s leading furnace companies, discusses the various ways you can deal with the indoor air quality challenges that accompany the fall season.

Natural Air Fresheners and Cleaning Solutions

The use of natural air fresheners and cleaning solutions is one of the best ways to counter the aforementioned challenges to fall indoor air quality. In fact, you don’t even need to use a heavy-duty cleaner for this method; simply grab some lemon juice, baking soda and water and mix them together to create a cleaning solution that eliminates the foul odors around your home.

Furnace Filter

On the other hand, air conditioning companies say issues with your indoor air quality in the fall season may be rooted in your furnace filters. As much as possible, have a professional inspect these filters and clean them when needed. However, it’s also recommended to replace them frequently, so make sure to have a replacement ready nearby just in case.

Control Your Home’s Humidity

Humidity is one of the biggest factors that can affect your home’s indoor air quality, no matter the season. During mild seasons like fall, some homeowners make the mistake of thinking that they don’t need to use their HVAC systems as often. In reality, turning off your air conditioner can cause your home’s humidity to rise since the air is no longer being circulated or filtered. To make sure your air quality remains just as good as before, consider switching the fan setting of your thermostat from “auto” to “on”.
