Coughing? Sneezing? Is it your home or buisness building?

Feeling ill lately? Passing the bug back and forth?

Remember, your air quality is only as good as you allow it to be. Indoor air pollution can be cause by unsealed ducts, gas appliances, uncared for HEPA systems and more...

There are simple ways to assist your home or business building with air quality. Cleaning and sealing the air ducts to keep dust and pollen down in your home or business is a start. All filters (furnace, stove, air and water systems) should be cleaned and / or replaced regularly through out the year. If items are not properly maintained, you will get sick and throw money away on equipment that isn't running as efficiently as it could.

Proper insulation will assist with climate control, mold causing moisture and noise issues.

Just a few helpful hints to keep you from sneezing and coughing

Hi Angie... these are all great tips and very timely as we approach cold and flu season. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Angie - isn't it interesting how many schools, especially universities, have shut down in recent months because of "flu" bugs infecting the whole campus? This certainly makes a case for what you have to say...when the furnaces come on the flu bugs do to! This is one great reason for our public policy makers to implement programs like LEED for Schools when they are remodeling and building! Indoor Air Quality is so very important!

Thanks for the great tips!
