Fall may not be the peak season for real estate, but it can be one of the best times to buy. With less competition and motivated sellers, buyers often find great opportunities before the holidays. As you’re touring homes this fall, it’s easy to get swept up in features like the kitchen, yard, or neighborhood. But there’s one detail you don’t want to overlook: the air inside the home.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters in Your New Home

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) directly impacts your health, comfort, and even the long-term value of your home. From allergens and dust to humidity levels and seasonal pollutants, your HVAC system plays an important role in keeping your indoor air clean and balanced. If the system isn’t up to date—or worse, if it’s neglected—you could be moving into an unhealthy environment.

The HVAC Factor

A home’s heating and cooling system does more than keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer—it sets the stage for comfort, efficiency, and clean air. As you’re walking through potential homes this fall, look past the surface and consider what’s behind the walls. Ask:

• How old is the HVAC system?
• Has it been properly maintained?
• Does it include whole-home filtration, ventilation, or humidity control?
• Is there a programmable or smart thermostat?

These answers can tell you whether the home will deliver dependable comfort and Healthy Air for your family—or if upgrades may be in your future.
