The temperate weather and thriving greenery makes spring one of the loveliest times of the year. But those who suffer from seasonal allergies may disagree. After all, spring is also the time when pollen and other allergy triggers abound, with some of them even ending up inside your HVAC system. But no worries; keeping them out of your heating and cooling system is actually pretty simple. Air Products & Services, Southern California’s trusted heating and air conditioning installation contractor, shares how below.
Replace the air filters. It’s already important to regularly change the air filters, but this task is even more crucial in the springtime. This is because pollen, dust, and other allergens tend to build up on them, circulating throughout your home if left unchecked. In addition to replacing the air filters, you should also consider upgrading them. There are HEPA filters you can install in your existing HVAC system that are rated to improve your home’s indoor air quality and keep pollen and other allergens at bay.
Invest in an air purifier. You don’t have to worry about pollen and other allergens entering your home through the HVAC system when you have a good air purification system installed. It can capture and eliminate any harmful airborne particles and allergy triggers, ensuring your living spaces remain safe and healthy throughout the season. The residential AC pros at Air Products & Services can help you explore your options and decide on the one that best suits your needs. We offer a wide selection of high-quality air purifiers and air scrubbers from Carrier®, Aerus®, and Nu-Calgon®.
Keep the area around the condenser unit clean. It’s more than likely that nearby vegetation will release pollen that will accumulate on or around your outdoor condenser unit. The buildup isn’t serious enough to create blockages, but some of that pollen may end up inside your house. You can prevent this by clearing away plants, shrubs and weeds close to your outdoor HVAC unit.
