As if fear of the COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t enough to worry about, spring allergies have piled another misery on to all of you in the Delaware Valley who suffer from this ailment. The problem is especially exasperated because most of us are spending the majority of our time stuck inside our homes.
But there is some good news. Just as we follow social distancing and the wearing of face masks to ward off the deadly coronavirus, there are also smart strategies you can employ to greatly alleviate your suffering.
Here are some tips, courtesy of the IAQ experts here at Wilson Oil and Propane.
The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in your home can produce and spread mold and other allergens, so maintaining your HVAC systems properly is a key to keeping your home air healthy. If you haven’t done it yet this year, schedule your air conditioning maintenance for the cooling season.
Keeping your air conditioning and furnace filters clean can make a big difference in managing your allergy symptoms. Follow manufacturer’s filter cleaning and maintenance instructions to minimize exposure to allergens from your HVAC system. Be sure to use the right filter for your equipment –consult your owner’s manual to find the range of filters that is right for your heating or cooling system. If you need help figuring out which filter works best for your needs, contact us.
