Can Running Your AC Help Improve Indoor Air Quality?

Is the air inside your home clean and comfortable? Oftentimes, homeowners don't even realize there are airborne pollutants floating around in their homes and they can lead to major health concerns. While asking smokers to please do so outside and switching over to natural air fresheners can help, running your air conditioner during the summer months is a wonderful way to improve the air quality inside your home.

How Does an Air Conditioner Work?

Your cooling system works hard to keep us comfortable and cool during the summer months, but did you ever think they have the ability to clean the air? While air conditioners cool the air down to a reasonable temperature, they also work to remove moisture so you feel less hot and sticky. Warm, moist air is the perfect recipe for mold and mildew to grow. Breathing in these pollutants can cause asthma and other respiratory problems and can even make your allergy symptoms worse. While your air conditioner works to prevent these problems from arising, there are a few steps you can take to make sure they remain effective.
