Indoor Air Quality Articles

Stand outdoors on one of those days when the weather feels perfect, take a few deep breaths, and enjoy the fresh air. Later, take another deep breath—only inside your North Carolina home. How does it compare?

Most homes in North Carolina and across the country are well-insulated, helping your heating and cooling system run more efficiently.

Fall is a beautiful time of the year—but it comes with a drop in humidity levels. If you’re concerned about the humidity change and want to enhance your comfort inside your Asheboro home, installing a humidifier is an excellent option.

In the winter, being snug as a bug in a rug in your home can be cozy, but it can also play havoc with your indoor air quality (IAQ) here in North Carolina, creating some significant health problems.

And the air conditioner tends to be center stage in the heat of the summer. However, it’s important to realize humidity levels play just as much of a leading role in your North Carolina home. 

Our team at Triad Heating & Cooling wants to help keep your home’s indoor air quality high and you and your family healthy and comfortable.
