Tree pollen is a common and particularly\u00a0frustrating annoyance in Atlanta that’s at its\u00a0worst in March and April. While we’re excited about blooming flowers, the pollen in the air can\u00a0diminish your comfort and ability to enjoy the fabulous springtime weather.<\/p>\r\n
Here are a few\u00a0indoor air quality<\/a>\u00a0and HVAC solutions you should consider that can reduce pollen levels in your home and protect your health:<\/p>\r\n Most standard 1-inch air filters should be changed every three months. Media filters only require changing every six to 12 months, and they have deep pleats and tightly woven construction that\u00a0can remove up to 700% more dust, particulate matter, viruses, and bacteria.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Leaky ducts can significantly reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner<\/a>,\u00a0but they also create points of entry where pollen, dust, and other debris can blow directly into rooms without getting stopped by an air filter.<\/p>\r\n You should inspect your ducts monthly and schedule a professional inspection every year. Any leaks should be promptly repaired and sealed.<\/p>\r\n UV lights<\/a>\u00a0neutralize bacteria, germs, and viruses, thus improving indoor air quality and protecting your health. UV lights are highly effective at reducing infection risk and mitigating respiratory illness symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Air purifiers and scrubbers are designed to remove gasses, microbes, and a broad range of allergens from your air.<\/p>\r\n Properly installed and maintained, these\u00a0systems can remove up to 99% of the pollen within your home. Incorporating an air scrubber or purifier can help significantly reduce allergy symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers<\/a>\u00a0help keep your home’s humidity levels within optimal ranges. This is crucial in Atlanta as the high humidity levels can exacerbate\u00a0symptoms\u00a0caused by allergies and respiratory conditions.<\/p>\r\n Further, maintaining optimal humidity levels helps inhibit the proliferation\u00a0of mold and mildew, which can trigger allergy symptoms like watery eyes, headaches, and more.<\/p>\r\n Routine air conditioning maintenance<\/a>\u00a0is essential for keeping your cooling system in good repair,\u00a0enhancing system performance, and\u00a0optimizing\u00a0energy efficiency.
