As we welcome back summer to Daytona Beach we also have to welcome back something far less enjoyable: allergies. While your home should be a place to get a break from the numerous discomforts of nature, allergies are often an unpleasant exception. However, routine air conditioner service can help ease those annoyances and make a big impact in your comfort.
While the majority of spring and summer allergies are due to the activities of trees, flowers, and grasses, almost all indoor allergies are actually due to conditions existing in your home. Many varieties of dust can collect in your home’s air ducts which then get sent throughout your home every time your air conditioner runs. In addition to dust knocked loose from the walls of your duct work, your air conditioner, air handler or furnace blower motor can also contain microbes, pet dander, dead insect matter, and potentially.
In fact, Indoor air pollution levels can be two to five times higher than outdoors. 1
If your air conditioning system is contributing to your family’s allergies, your kids will probably be the ones to suffer first2. That’s because their lungs are less developed and will become irritated easier with exposure to contaminated air.
The first thing to think about if you think your air conditioner may be compounding your family’s allergies is upgrading your air filter to one with more protection against allergens. High efficiency air filters have a MERV rating greater than 14. All American Air can provide a free estimate and install a high-efficiency filter system for you.
