At M and M Heating, AC, Plumbing & Electrical, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment.

With people spending more time indoors than ever before, it’s crucial to ensure that the air you breathe is clean and free from harmful pollutants. In this blog, we’ll explore various indoor air quality products and solutions that can help you create a healthier home environment.

Understanding Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Poor IAQ can lead to various health issues, including allergies, respiratory problems, and even more serious long-term effects.

Common Indoor Air Pollutants

Before diving into solutions, it’s essential to understand what we’re up against. Some common indoor air pollutants include:

• Dust and dust mites
• Pet dander
• Mold spores
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
• Pollen
• Bacteria and viruses
