Indoor Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality inside your home can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, nose bleeds, dizziness, and fatigue.

People often mistake these symptoms for respiratory issues such as a cold or allergic reaction.

Repeated periods of continual exposure to indoor pollutants can result in chronic respiratory diseases, heart disease, and even cancer. Considering most people spend the majority of their day indoors, addressing the air quality inside your home is a must.

At Ballard Natural Gas Service, our proven indoor air quality products can eliminate odors, zap germs, and balance humidity levels. We also provide duct-cleaning services and can recommend the best air filters for your heating and cooling equipment.

Improve the Air Inside Your Seattle Home

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there are three basic strategies to improve your indoor air quality:

1. Source Control
   Fuel-burning appliances, tobacco products, household cleaning products—any sources that release gases or particles will create indoor air quality problems.
2. Improved Ventilation
   Invite fresh air into your home by opening windows when the weather permits. Install exhaust fans in your kitchen and bathrooms. Take extra steps to increase ventilation if you are cleaning, cooking, painting—or doing similar activities.
3. Air Cleaners
   You can choose between portable models and whole-house air cleaners. The quality of the air cleaner depends on how well it captures pollutants and the amount of air it draws through the filtering element.

As a standing member of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), Ballard Natural Gas Service is committed to promoting energy efficiency and creating healthier, more comfortable indoor environments for our Pacific Northwest customers.

Protect Your Washington Home Against Wildfires

Fine particles and smog in the air are the two greatest concerns in Puget Sound.

According to the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, the state of Washington has faced unprecedented wildfire smoke since 2015—leading to the highest fine particle levels since the agency started monitoring for them in 1980.

Ballard Natural Gas Service can recommend indoor air quality products to help you protect your family from wildfire smoke.
