Indoor Air Quality

Four strategies to a cleaner, healthier home.
According to the EPA, poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is among the top five environmental risks. Pollutants in your home's air can cause dizziness and headaches, plus aggravate allergies and asthma.
Regular cleaning and vacuuming can go a long way toward improving the air you breathe. But cleaning alone will not solve IAQ problems. For the best defense against poor air quality, have Hinton Refrigeration Co test your home's air and recommend a Lennox solution.
