According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sources of indoor air pollutants include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Outdoor air pollution<\/li>\n<li>Excess moisture<\/li>\n<li>Certain cleaning and hygiene products<\/li>\n<li>Asbestos<\/li>\n<li>Animal fur and dandruff<\/li>\n<li>Fuel-burning combustion appliances<\/li>\n<li>Tobacco products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A great way to avoid bringing outdoor air pollution into your home is by keeping your windows and doors closed. Homeowners living in cities are often subjected to higher levels of pollutants in the air outside. Use this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iqair.com\/us\/usa\/texas\/dallas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air quality index<\/a> to see the level of pollution in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>Even when outdoor air quality is moderate, pollutants can enter your indoor air. On the other hand, without enough outdoor air, allergens can build up in the home. Proper ventilation is a safe way to ensure outdoor air mixes with your indoor air.<\/p>\n<span  class=\"max_w_730 d-block no_hover_underline mb-4\">\n\t\t<div class=\"got-an-emergency py-sm-2 py-3  px-lg-4 px-3 text-start rounded-10\" >\n            <div class=\"row align-items-center py-lg-3 mx-lg-0 mx-1 my-lg-2 my-1\">\n                <div class=\"col-sm-12 col-lg-6 col-md-7 align-items-center py-lg-1 pb-3 px-0 px-lg-3 mb-lg-1 mb-1 pe-lg-0\">\n                    <span class=\"heading_title title-class d-block true_white--imp mb-0 no_hover_underline h7 \">24\/7 Emergency Service<\/span> \n              <a class=\"cta_call_link no_hover_underline h7 true_white--imp telephone-class \" href=\"tel:(469) 840-4743\">(469) 840-4743<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n                <div class=\" button-class  col-sm-12 col-lg-6 col-md-5 text-lg-end px-0 px-lg-3\">\n                    <a id=\"\" class=\"  cta_link  btn btn-primary mw-255 mh-50 schedule_cta_schedule_engine\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" target=\"_self\">Schedule Online<\/a>\n            \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/span>\n<h2>How To Tell if You Have Good Indoor Air Quality<\/h2>\n<p>A seasoned HVAC professional can determine your indoor air quality by performing a thorough test. More often than not, we\u2019ll suggest maintenance for your HVAC system to improve air quality. Duct cleaning is also beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>Your air ducts play a large role in circulating your indoor air, including any pollutants that get trapped in the cycle. A good way to tell if your air ducts are affecting your indoor air quality is by removing your air vents. If you notice any mold, clumps of dust, or other debris, your system needs help.<\/p>\n<p>These signs indicate poor ventilation and cooling, and that your air ducts are contributing to the pollutants in your home\u2019s air.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Involved in Indoor Air Quality Inspections?<\/h2>\n<p>When you schedule an indoor air quality inspection with Willard Cooling, Heating, Plumbing &amp; Electrical, you can expect us to carefully determine the contents of your home\u2019s air through state-of-the-art testing solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll gain information such as average humidity, the density of common contaminants like dust, and whether you have more worrisome pollutants such as VOCs, mold, or radon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Invest in Air Duct Cleaning &amp; Sealing<\/h2>\n<p>Your ducts play a crucial role in your home\u2019s HVAC if you use forced air systems such as furnaces or air conditioners \u2014 every bit of cooling or heating passes through them, meaning even minor blockages or leaks can waste tons of energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At Willard Cooling, Heating, Plumbing &amp; Electrical, we\u2019ll carefully assess your ducts and help you get them clean and efficient with a prompt, thorough duct cleaning and <a href=\"https:\/\/willardac.com\/dallas\/air-ducts\/sealing\/\">sealing<\/a> of any leaks or potential leaks.<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule An Indoor Air Quality Assessment\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>According to the EPA, indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air \u2014 and Dallas homeowners are no exception, especially during allergy season.
