Improving the Indoor Air Quality in Your Home

We often associate air pollution with outdoor air, but the air inside your home can also contain pollutants, as well as allergens. Children, seniors, and people with asthma are particularly sensitive to indoor pollutants, but repeated exposure may also affect one's health later on in life. Here are some ways you can improve the indoor air quality in your home:

Install Radiant Floor Heating

If your home uses a forced air system, then consider switching to radiant floor heating. Forced air systems blow dust and pollutants into the air and distribute them around the house. Not to mention, these systems, plus electric baseboard systems, can burn dust particles and pollutants and circulate them around your home. Heated floors, however, do not provide these problems. Heated floors supply an even distribution of heat from the floor up, without moving around dust and toxic particles or drying out the air.

Additional Tips

Here are some additional tips for improving indoor air quality.

Remove items that collect dust.

Maintain a 30 to 50 percent humidity range.

Vacuum your home weekly with a vacuum containing a HEPA filter.

Regularly clean bare floors using a microfiber mop or cloth.

Incorporate plants into your home décor.

Place a large floor mat the front and back door to reduce the amount of dirt and pesticides that enter your home.

Regularly wash your throw rugs in hot water.

Clean your home with natural, fragrance-free cleaning products.

These are some simple and smart ways you can improve your home's indoor air quality.

ThermoSoft's Floor Heating Systems are Easy to Install

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, space heating is the largest energy expense in the average U.S. home, accounting for 45% of energy bills. With winter quickly approaching, you should be thinking of ways to minimize your energy bills, while also maximizing comfort. If you have a forced air, electric baseboard or hydronic heating system, you should consider switching to underfloor heating.

Floor heating systems continue to grow in popularity and are considered the most efficient of all the home heating solutions. Electric floor heating systems supply heat directly to the floor and deliver heat through radiant heat transfer. Other heating systems allow heat to rise to the ceiling, where it cools before radiating downward. With heated floors, however, the heat does not rise to the ceiling. Instead, the room is heated from the floor up, and the warmth remains on you and the objects in the room. With floor heating systems, people feel more comfortable setting their thermostat to a lower temperature, resulting in energy savings.
