Warmer weather, longer days and a generally beautiful environment—these are the things most people associate with spring. This time of the year, however, is also a prime time for seasonal allergies. That’s why many people dread this season, and all the sniffles and sneezes that come with it.
While allergies can’t be prevented, you can take steps to minimize your chances of getting sick. The local heating and air conditioning installation pros of Superior Air discuss them in today’s post.
Limiting Your Time Outdoors
The primary reason people get sick during spring is because of tiny pollen grains that get released into the air by trees, grasses and flowers. When breathed into your nose and lungs, they can easily trigger an allergic reaction.
When heading outdoors, wear glasses to keep pollen out your eyes. Also, wear a filter mask to prevent these particles from entering your respiratory tract. When inside your home, close your windows and doors, especially when there are strong winds. Our heating and air conditioning repair pros also recommend an air purifier to ensure clean, allergy-free indoor air.
Cleaning the Indoors
Take the time to also clean areas of your home where pollen can collect, like bookshelves and vents. Use your vacuum cleaner to pick up other airborne particles like mold and dust. Be sure to remember to wear a mask when you do this, however.
In addition, be aware that your HVAC system traps airborne particles like pollen in its filters. Clean them regularly for maximum filtration and to keep your AC or heating equipment running without a hitch. You could likewise upgrade to HEPA filters, which have better filtering capabilities.
