Our team at Jenkins Services Group, LLC has extensive experience in the HVAC industry, and we want to help you do what’s best for your home. As trees release their pollen in the spring, many people suffer from allergy symptoms. The pollen in the air can even make its way into your indoor air supply, but fortunately there are ways to prevent this. In this article, our team will go over three steps you can take to improve your home’s air quality.
- Change Air Filters – One highly effective thing you can do to improve your home’s air quality is change your air filters regularly. Over time, these filters become clogged with dust and debris and therefore become less effective. We encourage you to replace your HVAC system’s air filters every few months for the best results.
- Use an Air Purifier – Another thing you can do to improve the air quality in your home is use an air purifier (or multiple air purifiers, depending on the size of the house). These machines can remove more particles from the air than air filters alone can, and they do a better job of removing things like airborne germs. Using air purifiers in your home can make your home smell fresher and lead to noticeable decreases in allergy and other respiratory symptoms.
- Control Humidity – A third step you can take to improve your home’s air quality is to control the humidity levels with dehumidifiers. Excess moisture in the air can encourage the growth of mold, mildew, and other allergens, so removing moisture is an effective way to curtail these particles.
