When winter hits in Ohio, the windows close, the heat kicks on, and we spend a lot more time indoors. Cozy? Yes. But it can also mean dust, dry air, and allergies hanging around inside your home.


Here are some easy ways to breathe a little easier this season.

1. Change Your Furnace Filter

Your furnace filter catches dust, pet hair, and other junk in the air.

  • Check it once a month

  • Change it every 1–3 months

A clean filter helps your home’s air stay cleaner and keeps your system running better.


2. Add a Blue Light Air Purifier

Blue light (UV) air purifiers work inside your HVAC system to help reduce certain microorganisms as air passes through.

They’re a great add-on if:

  • You have allergies

  • Someone in your home gets sick often

  • You just want cleaner air moving through your system


3. Use a Whole-Home Humidifier

Winter air is dry, and that can mean:

  • Dry skin and lips

  • Scratchy throat and nose

  • More static in the house

A whole-home humidifier adds gentle moisture into the air that flows through your ducts, helping your family feel more comfortable and breathe easier.


4. Let in Fresh Air (When You Can)

On milder days, crack a window for a short time or run your kitchen and bathroom fans. Even a little fresh air can help clear out stale indoor air.


5. Simple Everyday Habits

Small habits make a big difference:

  • Take shoes off at the door

  • Vacuum and dust regularly

  • Don’t let clutter pile up around vents

  • Use strong cleaners or paints in well-ventilated areas
