During winter in Brunswick, GA, temperatures are usually mild, but cooler mornings often lead homeowners to keep windows and doors shut. While this helps maintain comfort, it also means fresh air is not circulating through the home as often. When homes stay closed up, indoor air quality becomes even more important for comfort, health, and overall well-being.
Indoor air can quickly become more polluted than outdoor air. Dust, pet dander, pollen, and everyday household pollutants build up when air is trapped inside. In coastal areas like Brunswick, humidity can also play a role, allowing mold and mildew to grow if moisture is not properly controlled. Poor indoor air quality can cause headaches, allergy symptoms, coughing, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.
Winter is also peak cold and flu season. When indoor air is stale and dry, it can irritate airways and weaken the body’s natural defenses. Clean, well-circulated air helps reduce airborne irritants and creates a healthier indoor environment for your family. This is especially important for children, older adults, and anyone with allergies or respiratory issues.
Your HVAC system plays a major role in indoor air quality. Filters trap dust and particles as air moves through the system, but dirty filters can no longer do their job effectively. Regular filter changes help improve airflow and keep contaminants from spreading through your home. Proper maintenance also helps your system manage humidity and circulate air evenly.
Ventilation is another key factor. Even during cooler months, homes need controlled airflow to replace stale indoor air with fresher air. HVAC systems that are sized correctly and maintained properly help balance temperature, humidity, and air movement, making indoor spaces more comfortable.
