Indoor air quality is very important to our health, especially if one has breathing problems. It is ironic because I have been researching this very thing this past week, because we want to prevent breathing problems. We also are in the process of finding another air conditioner.

I have a mild case of COPD along with Asthma, so I am very concerned with indoor air quality.
Right now I use frequent filter cleaning on my window unit AC's and use an oil filled electric heater for winter heat in bedroom.

Most years I have eight months of cooling and four months of heating.

Very Cool Cricket and Thank You ComfortUp!

Boy, that sure would be an upgrade for my house. Air quality is important to me and I've haven't done much of anything to improve it. A couple of window units is what I've been living with for years. They work okay until we get into the triple digits and then I'm wishing I had more. In fact today is the first time I fired them this year and was quickly reminded on just how LOUD they really are. :surprise:

I'm turning 62 soon and last week at my Doc's office they told me that I have the lungs of a 20 year old.

I just use fresh air in summer, and heated in winter, 9 months winter, 3 months summer.

That would be a great addition to my home.

As a painting contractor I sand a lot. To keep the best possible air quality for my customers I use a Festool dust extractor along with Festool sanders. That combination captures 99% of the dust I would have made sanding by hand. :yes:

Indoor air quality is very important to me and my family because we have allergies and asthma problems.

Currently we have two 300sq. ft. hepa-filter air cleaners, one in each bedroom. Additionally, next month, we will be adding another bigger 500 sq. ft. one to the main living area.

With 2 cats and a dog, and a wife that is mildly allergic to lots of things, air quality is a must.

 

[crabjoe]

Where I currently reside, indoor air quality is pretty good, so I'm not very concerned. Because it's not a current concern, I'm not doing a thing about it to make it better.

 

[patmurphey]

With 2 cats, improving air quality would be a help in maintaining computers and A/C equipment.

All I have now are ordinary A/C filters.

 

[J. V.]

I never even considered inside air quality. All I care about is, its cool in the summer and semi warm in the winter.
I guess I do add to the quality by regularly changing air filters. Of course my reason for doing it is to protect the air handler.

 

[bcemail]

I certainly prefer clean air to dirty. Try to remember to change those filters on a regular basis. Thanks!

 

[mikey48]

I change my heater system filter once a month and keep the filter in my window air conditioner clean. We also do not use shoes inside.

 

[NickTheGreat]

I never really was that concerned about my air quality.

But then we got a cat, and it became more of an issue.

And we had a child last year, and air quality has become an issue of utmost importance to me!!!

 

[moparhemi]

I like clean air but I don't do to much about it.

Indoor air quality is extremely important. Having a wife with allergies and two small children and the reality that we spend more time indoors than out, its critical to ensure that the air we breath insider our home is as clean as possible. We unfortunately can't control the outdoor air but we can at least to something to help indoors. Mold, bacteria, dust, chemicals, you name it are all going to get into our homes no matter what we do. Best we can do is try to find some way to filter all that stuff out of the air that circulates throughout our home with our HVAC system or we also have a separate filter when pollen is at its worst.

 

[JazMan]

I know indoor air can be much more polluted than outdoor air, therefore it is important to keep it as clean as possible.

We upgraded the original '76 system a few years ago although it still worked reasonably well. The new 96% efficient furnace and 15 seer AC is a good match for our northern climate. We have a 5" thick pleated filter which works well. I had the installation company wire the blower for "filter speed" which runs the fan at about 27% speed so it can filter the air all the time if I wish. This feature also blends the temps within our home since it's what is known as a quad. Three living levels plus a basement.

Quads are difficult to heat and cool to within just a few degrees of each level. Our lower living area was often a good 8 degrees cooler than the upstairs bedroom level. With this system we're within 3-4 degrees, this is much better.

This Sharp Mini Split system would be the perfect solution for this lower level during the heating season. The level contains a family room, powder room, walk in closet and my home office where I write this.

Good luck to all the entrants!

We are a family of allergy and asthma sufferers. We have always cared about indoor air quality, and are struggling with having to have the house all closed up over winter, and too hot over summer to open it up, either.

 

[jgbnm]

Pretty important. Building a highly energy efficient Passive House that includes a lot of effort in design and materials to maintain high air quality.

Indoor air is very important to me. It can either make my morning or break it ... Currently I am growing houseplants such as spider plants, pothos, and other stuff because it helps purify the air as I got lots of electronics.
