Fall is officially here and with the cooler months quickly approaching our home inspector often times sees a decrease in the air quality of homes across the Fort Worth, Texas area. The indoor air quality of your home isn’t a matter to be taken lightly as it plays a huge role in your quality of life.

Indoor air quality decreases when your home can’t release indoor air pollutants such as:

  • Mold
  • Radon
  • Carbon Dioxide
  • VOCs

There are steps that you can take to help improve the indoor air quality of your home. These steps include:

  • Open up your windows on days when the weather is comfortable outside
  • Cook with an exhaust fan
  • Consider investing in a dehumidifier
  • Run your ceiling fans backwards in the winter
  • Change out your air filters regularly

We hope that you will find these helpful tips useful this fall and winter season. As always remember that our home inspector provides reliable home inspection services across the Fort Worth, Texas area!
