Strategies for Dealing With Allergy Season

Are you tired of dealing with seasonal allergies? While you can’t control the pollen circulating outside, you can limit the level of allergens inside your home. Improving the indoor air quality (IAQ) will prepare your home for allergy season so your family can enjoy spring in the Las Cruces, New Mexico, area.

Invest in Indoor Air Quality Products

Poor indoor air quality is a major contributor to seasonal allergies and respiratory issues. Symptoms like fatigue, irritated eyes and throat, runny nose, and headaches may indicate it’s time to improve the air quality in your home. Dust mites, pet hair, and spores are allergens that can be polluting the air indoors and affecting your health. Using a dehumidifier to keep a balanced humidity range between 30%-50% reduces allergens. You can also maintain clean air with high-quality HVAC products such as ventilators and air purifiers.

Clean Out Your HVAC Filter

Taking care of your air filters is one of the easiest ways to manage IAQ and reduce allergens indoors. Filters are used by your system to capture dust, dirt, and other debris to prevent them from entering your home. Exchanging your HVAC filters once a month helps to maintain the effectiveness of your heating and cooling products and eliminate hidden particles that aggravate allergies.

Schedule a Tune-Up for Your HVAC System

When your HVAC units are properly functioning, they’re able to effectively improve your home’s air quality. Air conditioners work to reduce the moisture indoors and reduce pollen while they keep your space cool. During an HVAC maintenance appointment, service technicians inspect ductwork, clean units, and perform tune-ups to ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency.
