Is Your HVAC Systems Affecting Your Allergies?

04/10/2024

Do your allergies always start up around this time of year? Are you constantly asking why it doesn’t get better once you get home? Well luckily for you, we are able to help you fight off worsening allergies while at home.

Dirty HVAC systems can worsen your allergies by circulating things like dust, pollen, mold, and pet dander throughout your home. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your systems can help reduce allergen exposure and improve your indoor air quality. Even something as simple as replacing your filters can lead you in the right direction. Getting ahead of your allergies this season can start with a routine maintenance or a duct and dryer vent cleaning(pictured below).

What does a routine maintenance look like?

Both our air conditioner and furnace maintenances consist of similar things, the only difference between the two are furnaces will be more heating focused and air conditioners are more cooling focused.

Our Air Conditioner 9 point check

Dirt is the #1 cause for system breakdowns

Keeping your air conditioner and furnace free from dirt, dust, and pollen will help lengthen your systems lifespan. Doing a yearly maintenance will make it so you don’t have to do any hassle but still get the rewards.
