Consistency is key. A simple, proactive IAQ plan helps protect your home and your health over time.

Here’s a basic plan you can customize:

🗓 Daily:

• Run air purifiers in sleeping areas and living spaces
• Open windows for 10–15 minutes (if outdoor air is healthy)

🗓 Weekly:

• Vacuum and damp dust with a HEPA vacuum
• Check air quality monitor trends
• Empty and clean dehumidifiers

🗓 Monthly:

• Inspect HVAC and air purifier filters
• Test CO and smoke alarms
• Review any spikes in your air monitor data

🗓 Seasonally:

• Perform HVAC system inspection and filter upgrades
• Test for radon (in winter or when home is sealed tight)
• Re-evaluate chemical products or furnishings for VOCs

🗓 Yearly:

• Full IAQ check-up: radon test, filter replacements, product review
• Consider professional IAQ inspection for complex homes or health concerns
