Indoor air quality isn’t just a comfort issue—it’s a health priority. Whether you’re spending cozy winters indoors or enjoying Pittsburgh’s seasonal shifts, the air inside your home should be as fresh and clean as possible. Here’s how to make that happen with a few smart maintenance habits:

Prioritize Clean Air with These Essentials

• Furnace & AC Filters
  Replace furnace filters every 3 months and window AC unit filters every 4–8 weeks during heavy use. Clean filters mean fewer allergens and better airflow.
• Air Purifiers
  These are your frontline defense against dust, pollen, and pet dander. Replace filters every 6–12 months and clean them regularly for maximum impact.
• Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers
  Pittsburgh’s climate can swing between damp and dry—keep these units clean to prevent mold and maintain balanced humidity.
• Dryer Vents & Lint Traps
  Clean the lint trap after every use and the vent annually. It’s not just about fire safety—it helps reduce airborne particles.
• Range Hood Filters
  Cooking releases grease and smoke into the air. Clean these filters to keep your kitchen air fresh and prevent buildup on surfaces.
• Bathroom Exhaust Fans
  These help remove moisture and odors. A clean fan reduces mold risk and keeps your bathroom air breathable.
• Screens, Vents & Vacuum Filters
  Dust and debris collect quickly—clean these regularly to prevent circulation of allergens throughout your home.
• Water Filters
  Clean water contributes to overall wellness. Replace filters as recommended to avoid contaminants.

 Tailor Your Routine to Your Household

If you have children, pets, or anyone with allergies or respiratory sensitivities, consider more frequent cleanings. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for best results.

Improving indoor air quality is one of the simplest ways to make your home healthier and more inviting. Whether you’re settling in or preparing to sell, fresh air speaks volumes about how a home is cared for.
