If you suffer from seasonal allergies, you know they can be frustrating, to say the least. Various pollen types impact Michigan residents throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Fortunately, addressing your home’s indoor air quality can dramatically improve your seasonal allergy symptoms and reduce dust and stubborn odors. Professional air quality solutions like those from Iceberg Heating & Cooling can eliminate allergens from your home’s air and ensure property humidity levels for more comfortable living.
Allergens in Michigan Homes: Explained
It surprises many homeowners that the air quality inside our homes is often worse than outside air quality. Allergens and contaminants easily get caught up in your ductwork system and throughout your home. This includes pet dander, mold, dust, and pollen.
In Michigan, the biggest pollen producers are trees, grasses, and weeds in spring, summer, and fall, respectively. However, pollen trapped in your home can trigger your allergies all year.
Air Quality Tips for Your Family
Different air quality solutions can help alleviate and manage your allergy symptoms, including air purifiers and professional duct repair and replacement.
Air Purifiers
Whole-home air purifiers capture and contain allergens and contaminants, including pollen, dust, bacteria, pet dander, and viruses. The cleaned air is then recirculated in your home. Not only does this make your air healthier and thus reduce your allergy symptoms, but it also helps eliminate odors for a cleaner, fresher home.
Ductwork Repairs & Replacement
One of the primary sources of airborne contaminants in your home is your ductwork system, significantly if they are damaged. Replacing your home’s ductwork can dramatically improve your allergy symptoms by removing the hidden pollen in your ducts.
Air Filters
Changing your air filters is essential to maintain healthy air quality within your home, especially during allergy seasons. We recommend switching them every 30 to 60 days, but if they appear full or dirty, you may need to change them more frequently.
Other Air Quality Solutions
Another aspect of your air quality to consider is the amount of humidity in your home. During warmer months, homes tend to be more humid, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. During the colder months, homes tend to be less humid, aggravating your sinuses, skin, and eyes. A certified professional like those at Iceberg Heating & Cooling can determine if you need a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier to achieve optimal humidity levels in your home.
