Signs Your Home Is Suffering from Poor Indoor Air Quality

Your home will often show one or more clear signs that it is suffering from poor indoor air quality.

You might want to schedule an indoor air quality evaluation in your home if:

  • You live with a smoker
  • It is excessively humid inside
  • The air inside smells stale or musty
  • There are cold and warm spots inside
  • You’ve recently remodeled or renovated it
  • You have an unrepaired plumbing or roof leak
  • There is mold or mildew growth anywhere inside
  • There are yellow or wet stains on your ceiling or walls
  • There is an excessive amount of dust on the air vents and other surfaces inside

Signs Your Family Is Suffering from Poor Indoor Air Quality

Your home isn’t the only victim of poor indoor air quality.

Your family might be suffering from indoor air quality if they experience the following symptoms:

  • Coughing
  • Sneezing
  • Itchy throat, eyes, or nose
  • Headaches
  • Respiratory infections
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Sinus congestion

It can be difficult to identify poor air quality symptoms because they are so similar to those of a cold or the flu. However, if you or your loved ones experience relief from these symptoms upon leaving the house for an extended period of time, it is safe to assume that poor indoor air quality is the culprit.

Quality Service That Will Make You Smile

"Helpful, friendly, and trustworthy service."

A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical came recommended from a friend who is a current inspector. I've used them for years for furnace and AC maintenance. Their customer service is excellent—helpful, friendly, and persistent in scheduling my maintenance. I appreciate that they've never pushed to replace my old furnace but instead helped me decide when to repair or replace without being pushy about sales. Finding trustworthy repair folks is hard, and I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.

"Clean and professional work."

A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical did a wonderful job. They were on time, wore shoe coverings, and worked diligently. They replaced our air filter and an electrical part under warranty, explaining everything clearly. The work was clean and professional, and the team was congenial and pleasant.

"Polite, positive, and very courteous."

Everyone we’ve dealt with has been polite, positive, and very courteous. A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical quickly replaced our furnace during the coldest part of a snowy winter. Other companies couldn’t get out for 1-2 weeks, but A-TEMP assessed it the same day and replaced it in 2 days. Can’t say enough great things about this company!
