Use Your HVAC System to Fight Allergens | Teems Electric

In our area, many of us are all too familiar with the symptoms of seasonal allergies. While they’re most common in the spring and fall, it can certainly seem like these allergies last year-round.

Because of that, our team at Teems HVAC wants you to know how you can use your HVAC system to help improve your indoor air quality and keep allergens at bay.

Combat Allergies With Your HVAC System

To use your HVAC system to your advantage this spring when fighting allergies, start with making sure you change out your air filters on a regular basis. If you cannot remember the last time you changed your air filters, then the time is now.

Check the packaging of your air filters to determine the recommended frequency for replacement. If you have pets or particularly bad allergies, you probably want to change them out even more frequently.

You may also want to consider allergy-friendly filters, which are specifically designed to clear allergens from the air before it reaches you.

In addition, you want to make sure when you are spring-cleaning your home or office that you are also spring-cleaning your HVAC unit. It is easy for dust and debris to find their way into your HVAC system, which can actually cause your allergies to worsen. Clean the unit regularly in order to keep it running efficiently.

Finally, the best way to use your HVAC system to fend off allergens is to run it! Though it will be tempting in the early days of spring to open the windows and enjoy the air, that invites allergens in. Run your AC instead to cool the air and keep allergens out.
