How Indoor Plants Help Eliminate Indoor Toxins

Concerned about indoor air quality? Put your green thumb to work. Plants not only thrive in spite of household air contaminants, but also help to remove them from the air. Airborne formaldehyde (a carcinogen that comes from materials like plywood, adhesives, carpet and paint) and carbon monoxide (produced by heating or cooking equipment) are two examples of toxins eliminated by houseplants. Combine this idea with additional tips and equipment options designed to improve the air your family breathes. Contact us, the Westinghouse HVAC experts, for more information today.

Are Air Leaks Robbing You of Money

Air leaks could be increasing your energy costs more than you know. Look for ductwork that's disconnected at vents and registers, as well as compromised seals at floors, walls and ceilings. Increase airflow and comfort by keeping vents clear of furniture and rugs. If you have a fireplace, close the flue damper when it’s not in use to prevent air from escaping.
