If you’re experiencing indoor air quality issues in Salem, OR, you probably want relief as quickly as possible. In the middle of Oregon’s largest agricultural area, the Willamette Valley, airborne allergens are often part of the picture for those living here. Western Oregon also receives quite a bit of rain, meaning mold can be an issue. Fortunately, we have the experience and expertise to help local residents breathe easier.
Air quality issues are often difficult to detect. Perhaps you and other household residents are experiencing an increase in respiratory problems, or maybe there’s a nagging odor you just can’t place. AC and heater maintenance is often the key to ensuring the air in home interiors is healthy and safe. Regardless of the reason, HVAC technicians from Home Comfort Inc. can thoroughly evaluate and resolve the sources or causes of poor IAQ in your Salem home.

Indoor air quality issues can stem from various sources. In Oregon’s Willamette Valley, airborne pollen is a significant contributor due to the region’s diverse range of agricultural and ornamental plants. Even during late winter and early spring, when nearly nothing else is blooming, residents can count on having pollen from the area’s abundant coniferous trees in the air. Additionally, Oregon’s high rainfall amounts contribute to the development of molding mildew colonies, which can create respiratory issues in household residents, particularly in children, older adults, and the immunocompromised.
Other potential causes of poor indoor air quality include pet dander, dust mites, and volatile organic compounds released by certain cleaning products, paints, and synthetic materials. Combustion by-products from wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, and household heating systems can also release harmful particles and gases. You can never be too careful, so schedule an IAQ test so we can determine what is causing your poor air quality.
There are multiple ways to improve the air quality in your home, including the following:
Regular AC and heater maintenance
Proper household ventilation
High quality air filters
Dehumidifiers to control indoor humidity
Exhaust fans to remove excess moisture
Homeowners should also keep carpets, rugs, and upholstery clean to minimize trapped dust or allergens, particularly in households with indoor pets. If you enjoy allowing a nice breeze into your home, consider installing high-density screens to prevent airborne allergens from accessing your home interior.
