How clean is the air in your home? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, probably not very. If you live in Dallas, Texas, or the surrounding areas like Plano, your home could be up to 100 times more polluted than the air outside. Indoor air pollution is one of the top five environmental risks to your health. Studies have shown that year-round asthma symptoms, sneezing, and some allergies could be made worse, or even caused by, poor indoor air quality.
There are ways to remedy the poor air quality in your home, like installing a whole-house air filtration system, but first, you should consult an air quality expert.

Maintaining clean air in your Dallas-area home is crucial to maintaining a happy and healthy family. There are many advantages of scheduling an IAQ consultation with Total Air & Heat, including:
