As the fall season approaches, it’s important to prepare your HVAC system for the allergens that come with it. While you can’t completely eliminate allergens from your home, there are steps you can take to reduce fall allergens in your HVAC system.
The first step is to replace your air filters regularly. Dirty air filters can trap allergens and circulate them throughout your home. Be sure to use high-efficiency filters, which can capture smaller particles like pollen and dust.
Next, consider adding an air purifier to your HVAC system. This can help trap allergens and improve indoor air quality. Look for a purifier with a HEPA filter, which can capture up to 99.97% of particles.
Another way to reduce allergens is to keep your home clean. Regularly vacuuming and dusting can help remove allergens from surfaces in your home. Be sure to also clean your HVAC system’s vents and ducts to remove any built-up dust and debris.
Finally, consider using a dehumidifier. High humidity levels can promote the growth of mold and dust mites, which can worsen allergies. By keeping humidity levels between 30% and 50%, you can help prevent these allergens from thriving.
By following these steps, you can reduce the amount of allergens in your HVAC system and improve the indoor air quality of your home. With a little bit of effort, you can enjoy the fall season without suffering from allergies.
