How to Improve Indoor Air Quality During Winter in Natchitoches

January 22, 2025 | Blog

Winter in Natchitoches, Provencal, Converse, Many, and the surrounding areas often means sealing up homes to retain warmth. While this keeps the cold out, it can also trap pollutants like dust, mold spores, and pet dander, reducing your indoor air quality (IAQ). At AxsomAir, we specialize in heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, whole-home generator, and indoor air quality services, helping families enjoy healthier, cleaner air while staying cozy this season.


Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Poor indoor air quality can contribute to allergies, respiratory issues, and general discomfort, particularly during the winter months when homes have reduced ventilation. Improving your IAQ helps create a more comfortable, healthier environment for your family, allowing everyone to breathe easier and stay well.


Top Tips for Better Winter Air Quality

  1. Maintain Your HVAC System
    Schedule regular maintenance to ensure your heating system runs efficiently and distributes clean air throughout your home. At AxsomAir, our expert technicians can inspect and service your system to keep it in top shape.
  2. Change Your Air Filters Regularly
    Replace HVAC filters every 1-3 months to prevent dust, allergens, and other particles from circulating. For enhanced filtration, consider upgrading to high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.
  3. Balance Indoor Humidity Levels
    Keep humidity levels between 30-50% to avoid dryness that irritates the respiratory system and prevents mold growth. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers can help maintain these optimal levels.
  4. Enhance Ventilation
    Bring fresh air into your home by using exhaust fans, cracking windows occasionally, or installing an air purification system to reduce pollutants and improve circulation.
  5. Clean Your Living Spaces Frequently
    Regular dusting, vacuuming, and mopping help minimize the buildup of allergens and pollutants in carpets and on surfaces. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter for better results.
  6. Address Moisture and Bacterial Growth Issues
    Check for leaks or damp areas in your home, particularly in bathrooms, basements, and kitchens. Promptly addressing these issues and improving ventilation can prevent mold and mildew growth.
  7. Practice Safe Heating Habits
    Ensure gas appliances and fireplaces are properly vented, and install carbon monoxide detectors to protect your family from harmful gases.
