Enhancing Indoor Air Quality During Winter
Chris Nichols

As winter settles in Helena, Montana, homes are closed up tight against the cold. While this keeps us warm, it can also trap unwanted pollutants inside. Poor indoor air quality can aggravate allergies and respiratory issues, making clean air a priority for families. At American Sheet Metal, we're dedicated to helping you breathe easier this winter with effective solutions.

Common Winter Air Quality Issues

During the colder months, common indoor air pollutants include dust, pet dander, mold spores, and chemicals from cleaning products. Additionally, the use of fireplaces and heaters can introduce particles and carbon monoxide into your home.

Improving Air Quality

Here are some key steps to enhance your home's indoor air quality during winter:

  • Use Air Purifiers: Install a whole-home air purifier to capture and eliminate pollutants. We offer customized solutions to fit your HVAC system.
  • Ventilation: Regularly ventilate your home by using an exhaust fan or opening windows briefly to let fresh air in without losing too much heat.
  • Humidification: Dry winter air can be irritating. Using a humidifier can keep moisture levels optimal, providing comfort and reducing the ability of some pollutants to move freely.
  • Regular Maintenance: Schedule an HVAC inspection to ensure your systems are running efficiently and aren’t contributing to indoor air pollution.
