Indoor Air Quality in San Antonio – Keeping Dust and Odors at Bay
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 90% of Americans spend the majority of their daily life indoors. Airborne debris like dust, odors, and pet dander cause poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Having poor IAQ can cause allergies and health issues, and many people do not realize the culprit in the polluted air in their homes that is causing them to get sick. An upgraded filtration system or IAQ device can help improve the air inside your home.

Symptoms → Solution Guide
Dry throat/skin, static: Usually from low indoor humidity. A whole-home humidifier, setting the fan to “Auto,” and proper maintenance help restore comfort.
Musty or earthy odors: Often caused by moisture or microbial growth. Solutions include dehumidification, coil/drain cleaning, duct inspection and sealing, and targeted ventilation.
Allergy flare-ups: Linked to pollen, dust, and dander recirculation. High-MERV filtration, duct sealing, routine maintenance, and optional UV treatment for coils can reduce triggers.
Cooking/garage/smoke smells: These come from gaseous pollutants and VOCs. Use carbon media filters, improve source control, and enhance make-up air ventilation.
Dust at vents or fast filter loading: Often due to duct leakage or debris. Address with duct sealing and targeted duct cleaning.
Headaches or eye irritation: Caused by indoor pollutant buildup. Professional IAQ testing can identify sources, followed by right-sized filtration and ventilation strategies.
Pair the right solution with seasonal maintenance to keep airflow and moisture within healthy ranges.
