Dust

Why is my house always dusty?

Dust is not one thing. It can include fibers, skin cells, pet material, soil, pollen and other particles from both inside and outside the house.

What to know

A cleaner-looking home and cleaner-moving air are related, but not identical.

Some dust settles before it ever reaches an HVAC filter. Some gets tracked in. Some is generated inside the home. That is why a whole-home strategy needs to be realistic about what filtration can accomplish.

Start with the HVAC filter

Use the filter type and replacement schedule appropriate for your HVAC system.

Look for entry and circulation patterns

Frequently opened doors, pets, construction, leaky ductwork and return-air paths can influence what moves through the home.

Expect reduction, not “dust-free”

Whole-home filtration can reduce some airborne particles. No honest system can promise that you will never dust again.

Not sure what the source is?

That is normal. A consultation starts with what you are noticing, not with a predetermined equipment package.
