Understanding Indoor Air Quality During Cold Weather 

Did you know that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, posing potential health risks? Especially during the winter months, when homes are tightly sealed to keep warm air inside, dust, pet dander, mold, viruses, smoke, and other airborne pollutants circulate, negatively impacting your indoor air quality. But you can rely on Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning, a company with a proven track record and years of experience in providing the best solutions for your indoor air quality concerns.


Humidity Control

Maintaining proper indoor moisture levels can be especially challenging during the dry winter months. Unfortunately, airway irritation, dry eyes, and dry skin are common problems homeowners face when there is too little moisture in the air. On the other hand, when humidity levels become excessive, your home can become a breeding ground for mold and mildew.


Watch out for the following signs of mold exposure:

  • Vertigo or dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Mood changes
  • Digestive issues
  • Tinnitus
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Metallic taste
  • Inflammation and pain
  • Sinus issues
  • Cognitive difficulties


If you or your loved ones are experiencing the above symptoms, seek medical care and contact Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning to help you restore your home’s humidity balance.


Reduce Allergens

Are you experiencing itchy, watery eyes while indoors? Perhaps you have noticed that your throat is scratchy or your nose is running, but you don’t feel sick. If you or your loved ones are dealing with allergy symptoms inside your home this winter, contact Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning for West Kelowna indoor air quality improvements. We’re here to provide relief and restore your peace of mind.


Wildfire Smoke

As a local company with over a decade of experience serving our community, Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning understands that living in the Okanagan means we experience smoke from wildfires more often than we’d like. We have systems that remove unpleasant odors and smoke particulates, which are dangerous to your health. You can count on us to restore your home’s indoor air quality and help you breathe easier when you schedule service with our professional team of experts.


Safety First

Fireplaces, wood stoves, and space heaters all require extra caution when in operation. Use them only in a well-ventilated space and never leave children unattended near these sources of heat. Please be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your safety and consider installing a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. These models all have the potential to release dangerous pollutants into the air, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.
