The weather is finally starting to warm up, and that means one thing: seasonal allergies are in full swing! For many people, this time of year can be a real challenge. Sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose can make it difficult to enjoy life. But did you know that your HVAC system can help?
In this blog, we will share some tips for using your HVAC system to battle seasonal allergies and discomfort. Stay tuned to discover why scheduling routine maintenance, investing in indoor air quality solutions, and replacing air filters are crucial in the springtime!
Schedule Routine Maintenance
We all know that springtime means flowers are in bloom and the pollen count is high. For people with seasonal allergies, this can be an absolute nightmare. But did you know that your HVAC system can actually help trap allergens before they have a chance to enter your home?
By scheduling routine maintenance, you can ensure that your HVAC system is running at peak efficiency. This means that it will be better able to filter out pollen, dust, and other allergens. Our experts will thoroughly inspect and clean your units during routine maintenance to promote pristine indoor air quality.
Dust Air Vents
Another simple way to reduce the amount of allergens in your home is to dust your air vents. Over time, dust can build up in the vents and be recirculated into the air. This can spur allergy symptoms and make it difficult to breathe. By taking a few minutes to dust your vents, you can help improve the quality of the air in your home.
Invest in Indoor Air Quality Solutions
In addition to scheduling routine maintenance and dusting the air vents, another way to help fight seasonal allergens is by investing in indoor air quality solutions. We offer a variety of indoor air quality options for our valued customers, so you’re sure to find one that fits your needs. From air purifiers to dehumidifiers, there is sure to be a solution that fits your needs.
Keep Humidity Levels in Check
If the air is too humid, it can actually make allergy symptoms worse. In the springtime, we often experience spring showers that lead to excess humidity seeping into our homes. That’s why we recommend investing in a dehumidifier for your home. Dehumidifiers help remove excess moisture from the air, making it more comfortable for those suffering from allergy symptoms.
Replace Air Filters Regularly
Of course, one of the simplest ways to improve the air quality in your home is to replace your air filters regularly. This is especially important in the springtime when pollen counts are high and allergy symptoms are in full swing. Households that suffer from seasonal allergies or respiratory conditions should keep air filter replacements at the top of mind to help minimize symptoms. Check your air filters every 30 days and aim to replace your air filters every 90 days for fresh and clean air this spring.
By following these simple tips, you can use your HVAC system to fight seasonal allergies and improve the air quality in your home. Don’t let allergies ruin your springtime! Follow these tips throughout the season and your nose and HVAC system will thank you.
