Winter in Virginia brings colder temperatures and tightly sealed homes. While this helps keep warm air inside, it also reduces ventilation and allows indoor pollutants to build up over time. Dry air, dust, and allergens can circulate more easily when windows stay closed for long periods. Taking a proactive approach to indoor air quality during winter helps create a healthier, more comfortable living environment and supports better HVAC performance throughout the season.
