Spring is around the corner, bringing warmer weather and blooming flowers. Unfortunately, it also brings allergens like pollen, dust, and mold that can make your home feel less than comfortable. At North Tarrant Heat & Air, we know your HVAC system can play a big role in helping you breathe easier this allergy season. Here are five simple ways to prepare your system for spring allergies.
1. Replace Your Air Filters
Your HVAC system’s air filter is your first line of defense against allergens. Over time, filters become clogged with dust, pollen, and other particles, reducing airflow and spreading allergens throughout your home. Replacing your filter every 1-3 months—or more often during allergy season—can improve air quality and help your system work more efficiently. Consider upgrading to a high-efficiency filter designed to trap smaller particles for even better protection.
2. Clean Your Ductwork
Dust, dirt, and allergens can accumulate in your ductwork over time, only to be recirculated every time your HVAC system runs. Scheduling a professional duct cleaning removes built-up debris and improves airflow. Clean ducts not only reduce allergens but also help your system work more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills.
3. Install an Air Purifier
For those who suffer from severe allergies, an air purifier can make a world of difference. Many air purifiers integrate with your HVAC system, filtering out even the smallest particles like pollen, pet dander, and mold spores. A whole-home air purifier provides cleaner air in every room, giving you and your family a healthier living environment.
4. Check for Mold or Mildew
Spring’s increased humidity can create the perfect conditions for mold and mildew, especially in and around your HVAC system. Have a professional technician inspect your system for signs of moisture buildup or mold. Addressing these issues early can prevent allergens from spreading throughout your home.
5. Schedule a Spring HVAC Tune-Up
A professional tune-up ensures your HVAC system is clean, efficient, and ready to handle spring allergens. At North Tarrant Heat & Air, our technicians will inspect your system, clean essential components, and identify any potential issues before they become major problems. Regular maintenance keeps your system running smoothly and helps improve indoor air quality.
