When wildfire smoke rolls in, most people just head indoors, is that enough to protect your family?
Jenny Hardman talked with Indoor Air Quality Specialist Brock Hatch, with Apex Clean Air, who says wildfire smoke doesn’t just pass through.
Fine particles settle into your ductwork, carpet, and HVAC system — and recirculate every time your air kicks on, months after the haze is gone.
He explained that newer homes are super tight and energy efficient, so they don't let the cool air or warm air out — but that can also trap in the dirty air.
With older homes, they're not as tight, so the bad air gets in through window seals and doors.
Air Quality Specialists at Apex Clean Air check four main elements in your home:
- Filtration
- Purification
- Mechanical Ventilation or Dilution
- Humidification Control
