Indoor Air Quality in Troy

Indoor Air Quality for Troy homes

Troy is largely built from the 1960s through the 1980s, with neighborhoods of ranches, colonials and tri-levels alongside a busy office and retail corridor. Older Troy homes can have the opposite issue: damp basements in humid summers and musty smells drawn into the return air. Dehumidification and better cooling setup usually help more than any air purifier.

• Better filtration

• Measure humidity.
