So what does home energy efficiency have to do with allergies? Nothing, right? After all, one is all about creating your property more comfortable and saving money and energy, while the other makes you sneeze, causes itchy eyes and a general sense of misery. Both don't seem to be relevant by any means whatsoever.
But there's a connection and it's through your heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) device. A Hvac machine draws air from the room, pulls it over coils to either heat or cool it, then distributes the tempered air throughout the home via ductwork. An air screen traps and gets rid of tiny allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, bacteria, plant and mold spores, and prevents them from contaminating your indoor air. However, every time a filter gets obstructed and dirty, rather than getting rid of these types of contaminants from your air, it actually contributes to the pollution. The result is higher electricity bills and increased allergy symptoms.
Thankfully, the answer is an easy one. All you need to do is change your air filter. Ideally, you should examine it on a monthly basis, and if your air filter already appears to be unclean then don't wait - change it! Otherwise, get it done at least one time every 3 months.
An air filter needs replacing any time it's covered by a gray, ashy-looking substance.
Have your own Hvac inspected annually by a certified Park Hvac contractor to keep it performing effectively.
A clean air conditioner filter enables the Hvac to perform more efficiently, which means it doesn't have to work as difficult to heat or cool the house. That leads to energy savings and much more money in your pocket - energy efficiency at work. In addition, it contributes to cleaner indoor air and a healthier home setting, that helps alleviate allergy symptoms. Contact us online for heating & air service, or call us at (916) 231-5683.
