Why Indoor Air Quality Matters
Indoor air quality (IAQ) determines how easily you breathe, how dusty your home is, and whether you experience off-season allergies. It can even control whether you feel energized or fatigued. High air quality indicates that a home has clean, fresh air evenly circulates through every room. It is easier to breathe, clean, and stay healthy. In contrast, poor air quality can feel stale, smell musty, and put your immune system at risk.
Recent innovations in IAQ technology have made 2025 the perfect year to improve the air quality of your home.
The Benefits of Better Air
- Healthier Living: Reduce allergens and pollutants for better respiratory health.
- Greater Comfort: Maintain the ideal humidity and temperature for a cozy home.
- Energy Savings: Cleaner systems also work more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills.
How to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
There are many ways to improve indoor air quality for a healthier and more enjoyable home experience. Some are simple and easy, while some involve major appliance upgrades. Choose the strategies that work best for your plans this year.
1. Upgrade Your Air Filter
Choose an air filter with a higher MERV or HEPA rating; MERV ratings of 13 or above can filter out fine particles such as pollen, pet dander, and even bacteria. HEPA filters help clean rooms using the most advanced filtration available to remove much more than just dust from the air.
Mid-Fla Heating & Air offers professional filter upgrades to help your system operate efficiently with the cleanest possible air.
2. Install a Whole-Home Air Purifier
You can also add an air purifier to your HVAC system. Air purifiers cleanse the air by using electric fields and UV light to neutralize harmful microorganisms and allergens like mold spores, bacteria, and viruses. A whole-home air purifier cleans the air that flows through your heating and cooling ducts so that every room receives purified air—far more efficient than a standalone purifier in one room.
Mid-Fla Heating & Air also offers advanced UV air purifiers and other high-end systems and install them directly into your HVAC system for better indoor air quality.
3. Control Humidity Levels
Humans prefer humidity levels between 30% and 50%, which help keep our skin and lungs healthy—not too dry or damp. Humidity management can improve respiratory performance and help prevent hidden mold growth in your home.
However, achieving that balance can be challenging in Florida, where humidity is naturally high but AC dries out the air all year. We can help you choose and install whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers to set the perfect humidity balance in your Florida home.
4. Improve Ventilation
Airflow keeps the air in your home fresh and refreshing. Proper ventilation removes stale air, brings in fresh outdoor air, and filters all the air that moves through your system. This prevents pollutants from accumulating inside your sealed and well-insulated home.
Mid-Fla Heating & Air also installs fresh air ventilation systems into your HVAC to keep clean air circling efficiently year-round.
5. Regular HVAC Maintenance
Maintenance improves energy efficiency, cleans dust and debris that make it past the filter, and ensures that your HVAC is cycling air evenly through the home. The more routine your maintenance, the better you can ensure good indoor air quality.
With our Gold Club Membership, you’ll receive routine HVAC maintenance, including system inspections and cleanings, to keep your air quality in top shape.
6. Embrace Advanced IAQ Technology
In addition to excellent filters and air purification, smart devices like air quality monitors and smart thermostats can help you keep your air clean and fresh. You can also track your home’s air quality and make adjustments to keep it in the perfect range for health and happiness as you adapt to each seasonal change.
