Alleviate Allergies with HVAC System Maintenance

Frustrated over your allergies preventing you from enjoying the day in your Tomahawk home or getting any rest at night? You’re not alone!

Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the United States, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI). Nobody should ever suffer or lose sleep over them, especially when you deserve to be comfortable in your Wisconsin home.

At Premier Heating & Cooling, we believe your home should be your sanctuary—not a trigger for allergies. We want you to experience bliss and tranquility, which is why we offer plenty of home solutions to maximize your level of indoor comfort. Routine heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance is one excellent solution, in particular, that can help provide some relief for your symptoms.

How HVAC Maintenance Can Reduce Allergy Symptoms

Maintenance is essential for a properly functioning and efficient HVAC system, but it also helps optimize your indoor air quality (IAQ). With improved indoor air quality, you can breathe easier and enjoy cleaner, fresher air circulating throughout your home.

Be sure to follow these maintenance tips regularly for ideal air quality and to reduce the number of allergens in your Tomahawk home:

• Change Your Air Filter
  The air filter on your HVAC system traps common allergens like dust, dander, pollen, and mold. At Premier Heating & Cooling, we recommend replacing your filter every one to three months—or cleaning it if designed to be washed and reused. Replacing or cleaning your filter will help you breathe cleaner air and prevent clogs, which can lead to other problems—including a complete system breakdown.
  
• Seal and Weatherstrip Your Windows and Doors
  A great way to keep dirt, pollen, and debris from entering your home is to seal any cracks around your windows and doors. Be sure to keep your windows closed when you notice an increase in pollen outside, especially if this is a trigger for your allergies.
  
• Install an Air Purification System
  A whole-home air purification system can help reduce pollutants inside your home and further enhance your indoor air quality. Air purifiers effectively remove particulates, microbes, gases, and other irritants. These systems provide the extra boost of cleanliness your Wisconsin home needs.

• Add a Whole-Home Humidifier and/or Whole-Home Dehumidifier
  Inadequate humidity levels in your home can trigger allergies and other respiratory issues. If your home is too humid, consider adding a whole-home dehumidifier to discourage common allergens, including dust and mold, from thriving and provoking your allergies. Homes with low humidity levels can also be bothersome when you suffer from allergies. Dryness can make it easier for you to breathe in contaminants. Be sure to add a whole-home humidifier so you can manage the humidity levels in your home accordingly.
  
• Opt for Professional Maintenance
  It’s critical to have routine professional HVAC maintenance at least once a year. Not only will this keep your heating and cooling system in good health but it will also allow for your equipment and ductwork to be meticulously cleaned by our professionals in places you may otherwise not be able to reach on your own.
