Indoor Air Quality and Indoor Allergies

Allergy seasons seems to be in full swing this year. I know, because I too suffer from seasonal allergies. This time of year you need to find refuge somewhere from sneezing and itchy watery eyes. This is why you indoor air quality and allergies go hand in hand.

Especially these days if you sneeze in public, they look at you like you're a wanted by the FBI, lol.

There isn't anything you can do about allergens outdoors. Ragweed, pollen, mould spores, etc are all around us and it doesn't seem to matter if you're in the city or the country.

What matters most is that your home becomes the indoor environment that provides a soothing and healthy refuge from allergens.

How is this done? The best first step is to have your indoor air quality tested to see if you have good indoor air quality or poor indoor air quality. We can then assess your furnace and air filtration devices you already have.

The best method of ensuring that your indoor environment is protecting you from indoor allergens is to ensure the following:

Make sure you have a properly functioning air conditioning system. This will control comfortable and healthy temperatures but also control humidity in the home. Some bacteria and viruses thrive with either low or high indoor humidity.Next you need to protect your ducts from airborne spores, allergens, bacteria, viruses and small particulate with a high quality furnace filtration system. This will prevent your furnace from blowing allergens all over the home.Finally you also need HEPA air filtration to makes sure any allergens from outdoors that came into the home are filtered out of the breathable air. Mould, bacteria, viruses, seasonal allergens all come from outdoors and can cause indoor air quality issues and allergic health reactions.
