Hazardous Air Quality Alert

Bucks and Montgomery Counties are currently under a hazardous air quality warning! Poor outdoor air quality can have a significant impact on indoor air quality. To keep yourself safe during this time, here are a few tips:

• Stay indoors.
• Close your windows and turn your AC on if you have it. If you don’t have AC, and it gets too hot, utilize your family and friends.
• If available, run air purification systems.
• If you must go outside it’s time to break out the masks again!
• If driving, use the recirculation feature in your car to reduce outside air being fed into your vehicle.
• Once the air quality issue passes (fingers crossed, soon!) replace air filters in your central air system.
• If you have a window AC unit, wash the filters to reduce contaminents.
• Adding an air purifier, such as the I-Wave, can drastically improve your air quality year around, but especially during events like this.
• Duct cleaning for homes with central air is recommended every 7 to 10 years. It is healthy to get rid of the dust and debris in your ductwork and can drastically improve your air quality.
• A great air filter goes a long way! The standard 1” air filter is fine, but a 5” high performance air filter will not only last longer but provide higher levels of filtration.
