How to Ensure Good Indoor Air Quality During & After a Home Renovation

Whether you’re having a minor repair done or are planning a major renovation, trying to maintain quality airflow in your home while they’re in progress won’t be easy. Indoor air pollution can linger from a few days to several weeks after a renovation. These projects will release various particles and pollutants into the air, some of which can cause harm to you and your family, but there are some things you can do to keep yourself safe.

  • Talk to your remodeler about worksite containment. Speak to your HVAC company or prospective remodeler and ask them about how they’ll contain dust during the remodeling project. It’s likely that they’ll mist surfaces before sanding and scraping. They may also consider installing barriers to prevent dust from spreading.

  • Run an air purifier during and after remodeling. Air purifiers or scrubbers are dedicated air filtration systems that work like the air filters in your HVAC system but on a larger scale. You can utilize this equipment for the duration of the project.

  • Keep all work areas well-ventilated. Refrigeration equipment service and HVAC experts suggest that whenever performing a heat pump inspection or major renovation, keeping the work areas well-ventilated is essential. This way, dust and indoor air pollutants will disperse away from the room. Exhaust fans can also be placed in windows, while HVAC vents where the project is taking place should be kept closed.

  • Clean daily. Although it may feel like an added task, tidying up your house regularly during the entire duration of the project is critical to maintaining quality indoor air. It will require some high-level disinfection, especially if you and your whole family are staying in the house while it’s being remodeled. Make certain you don’t miss any spots in your kitchen area.
