How Your HVAC Unit Can Help Alleviate Spring Allergies

Spring allergies are upon us, and we have some good news if you’re suffering. Your HVAC unit can help alleviate your spring allergy symptoms. Read on to find out how.

Keep Your Air Filter Clean

Your HVAC air filter is the first line of defense when it comes to your indoor air quality. Changing it every 30-90 days will not only help your HVAC system run more effectively and more efficiently, but it will also help reduce your allergy symptoms. The filter traps dust, pollen, dander, and other allergens and prevents them from recirculating through your home.

Keep the AC On

Your air conditioner’s primary job is keeping your home nice and cool as the weather warms up, but it does something else. It also works to control the humidity in your house. As the warm air from the rooms in your home blow over the evaporator coil, the humidity in the air catches in the coil turning to condensation. That condensation runs through the condensate drain and the cooled air blows out into your home. When the humidity levels are lower, you won’t have the same risk of allergens in your home, and you’ll feel better.

Add an Air Purifier

An air purifier for allergies can provide relief for people who suffer in the spring. Air purification units work alongside your existing HVAC system and help to clean your indoor air. By trapping tiny particles, including 99% of the airborne contaminants that cause allergies, you’ll have fewer symptoms, feel better, and breathe easier.
