Thanksgiving brings the comforting aroma of roasted turkey, warm spices, and festive dishes filling your home. But along with those delicious scents, the holiday season also brings an increase in indoor allergens, lingering odors, and airborne particles that can affect your home’s air quality. With more cooking, more guests, and more time spent indoors, it’s important to pay attention to the air you and your loved ones are breathing.
Understanding how the season affects indoor air quality—and how proper filtration can help—can make your home healthier, fresher, and more comfortable throughout the holidays.
Holiday Cooking Can Affect Indoor Air Quality
Roasting, sautéing, baking, and frying can release particles and vapours into the air. While these smells are part of what makes Thanksgiving memorable, they can also contribute to stuffiness or lingering odours that stick long after the dishes are done.
Heat, smoke, and moisture from cooking can affect indoor comfort, especially if your home’s ventilation or filtration system isn’t prepared. Good airflow and proper filtration help reduce these airborne particles and keep your home smelling fresh, even with a full oven and a full house.
More Guests Mean More Allergens
When friends and family gather, they bring joy—and a bit of the outdoors—with them. That includes pollen, pet dander, dust, and other allergens. Combined with the holiday rush of opening and closing doors frequently, your indoor air can quickly become overloaded.
If anyone in your home is sensitive to allergens, better filtration becomes even more important. High-quality filters and indoor air quality products help capture particles before they settle into carpets, furniture, and ventilation systems.
Seasonal Scents Can Linger Longer Than Expected
Holiday candles, cleaning products, and even decorations can release chemicals or fragrances that contribute to poor indoor air quality. While many people enjoy these scents, they can irritate indoor air or mix with cooking smells, creating a heavier atmosphere.
Improving ventilation, increasing filtration, and using indoor air quality products can help reduce this buildup and keep your home feeling clean and fresh.
Why Filtration Matters During the Holiday Season
Your HVAC system plays a major role in keeping your indoor air healthy. A clean, efficient filtration system helps remove airborne particles, reduce odours, and circulate fresh, cleaner air throughout your home.
Benefits of enhanced filtration include:
- Reduction of airborne allergens
- Fewer lingering cooking odours
- Improved airflow and HVAC efficiency
- A fresher, more comfortable home environment
During a time of year when indoor air is affected by cooking, visitors, and frequent HVAC use, an upgraded filtration system can make a noticeable difference.
