How to Maintain Healthy Indoor Air Quality During Winter in Eureka Springs

January 16, 2025 | Blog

As winter blankets Eureka Springs, Berryville, Busch, Shell Knob, Holiday Island, and the surrounding areas, many homeowners seal their homes to keep the warmth in. While this improves comfort, it can also trap airborne pollutants like dust, pet dander, and mold spores, leading to poor indoor air quality. At Island Airco, we specialize in heating, cooling, and whole-home generator services, ensuring your home remains cozy and your air stays clean all season long.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical factor in your family’s health and well-being. Poor IAQ can lead to allergies, respiratory issues, and discomfort, especially during winter when homes have limited ventilation. By addressing IAQ concerns, you can create a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment for your household.

Winter Indoor Air Quality Tips

  1. Schedule Regular HVAC Maintenance – A properly serviced heating system ensures efficient operation and cleaner air circulation.
  2. Replace Air Filters Frequently – Changing your HVAC filter every 1-3 months minimizes dust, allergens, and airborne particles.
  3. Balance Humidity Levels – Keep humidity levels between 30-50% with humidifiers or dehumidifiers to prevent dry air and mold growth.
  4. Improve Ventilation – Use exhaust fans, occasionally open windows, or install an air purifier to keep the air fresh and clean.
  5. Keep Your Home Clean – Dust and vacuum regularly to reduce allergens and contaminants in carpets and furniture.
  6. Prevent Mold and Mildew – Check for moisture issues in damp areas like bathrooms and basements and address leaks promptly.
  7. Ensure Safe Heating Practices – Properly vent gas appliances and fireplaces, and install carbon monoxide detectors for additional safety.
