What steps can I take to reduce allergies in my home? Do you tire of being suffocated by pollen in the spring? Reducing allergens in your home will relieve your symptoms and help you avoid getting a full-blown cold.
Take preventive precautions to keep indoor allergens at bay, even though there are many ways to assist ease symptoms connected with being outside.
Though pollen is the most common allergy trigger in the spring, allergens such as mold, dust mites, and insects can be found all year indoors.
Here are a few options for assisting you in using your Tempe AC maintenance experts to do a complete check of your air conditioning system.
Shut Doors and Windows
During allergy season, keep the house closed, especially in the mornings when allergens are at their peak. Also, keep the air conditioner on to keep the home cool because mold and pollen spores can readily flow through windows.
You should also inspect window frames for condensation, leading to mold growth. Your Tempe AC maintenance experts can make that your air conditioner function correctly.
Take Control of Indoor Humidity
In humid settings, mold and other airborne allergens thrive. Maintain a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity of 50% or less indoors. Tempe air conditioning service technicians can inspect your home for spots where mold could pose a concern.
Keep Air Filters Clean
If you have pets, you should change your air filter once a month or more frequently during the seasons when your HVAC system is on.
However, if you have indoor allergies, you should change the filter at least once a month. Tempe AC maintenance professionals may upgrade your filter to a higher quality, which will help to clean the air more effectively.
Change Carpeted Floors for Tile or Wooden
Consider replacing your carpeting with hardwood or linoleum if your home has it. Carpeting can capture and keep allergens for extended periods.
If you can’t get rid of your carpets, vacuum them with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter vacuum cleaner once or twice a week.
