Indoor air quality is an important consideration for every homeowner, but even more so when living in a desert climate. This is because desert areas typically have dry air, high temperatures and low humidity levels, which can lead to various respiratory problems and other health issues. Poor indoor air quality can also contribute to the spread of infectious diseases, especially during the hot summer months when people tend to stay indoors more often.

Presence of Airborne Particles

One of the primary concerns when it comes to indoor air quality in desert climates is the presence of airborne particles such as dust, pollen and other allergens. These particles can cause respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies, which can be particularly problematic for young children and the elderly. In addition, desert areas are known to have high levels of airborne pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can exacerbate respiratory issues.

Humidity Levels

A second consideration regarding indoor air quality in desert climates is the humidity levels. Desert areas tend to have low humidity levels, which can cause dry skin, nosebleeds and other health problems. Low humidity can also lead to the buildup of static electricity, which can be a fire hazard in certain situations. To combat low humidity levels, it is recommended to use a humidifier in the home.

In addition to these factors, the use of AC in desert climates influences indoor air quality. Air conditioners can help to remove moisture from the air, which can help to reduce the growth of mold and other harmful microorganisms. However, poorly maintained air conditioning systems can also be a source of indoor air pollution, as they can accumulate dust, mold and other particulates. To keep your AC in good operating order, contact Fetch-A-Tech to schedule HVAC maintenance for your system.
