Allergens In Your Air

There’s nothing worse than being allergic to something in your home—it can make it hard to sleep, work, and live. And if you’re like me and suffer from allergies, then you might have noticed that your symptoms tend to get worse in the winter months. While the cold and flu season may be partly to blame for this, another culprit could be allergen-filled air ducts. Even if you don’t think of yourself as being allergic to anything (like dust or dander), these microscopic particles can still cause problems for anyone who suffers from allergies or asthma.

Allergens can travel through your air ducts, causing problems for anyone with allergies.

You might not think about it, but the air ducts in your home can be sources of allergens. Allergens are small particles that trigger allergic reactions, like sneezing or watery eyes. They’re often found on surfaces and in dust and dirt.

Allergy-causing particles can travel through your air ducts from one room to another—and into your HVAC system—because they’re so small, measuring less than 10 microns in diameter (1/100th of a millimeter). If you have allergies or asthma, this means there could be allergen-carrying dust and dirt in the air that you breathe every time you turn on the A/C during allergy season!

If your family has allergies or asthma, here are some things you can do:

• Wash bedding weekly in hot water with bleach (for really dirty sheets)
• Vacuum carpets often using high suction settings
• Run high-heat dryers for at least 15 minutes after washing clothes

But if these steps aren’t enough to keep allergens out of the house altogether? Consider hiring an air duct cleaning company that specializes in air duct cleaning services!

If you’re experiencing allergy flare-ups at home, it could be a sign that your air ducts need to be cleaned.

Allergens are especially common in the air ducts of homes with pets, because pet dander can easily become airborne and then spread throughout the house. If you have allergies or asthma, it’s critical to keep your air ducts clean. Even if you don’t have a pet or other allergy triggers, it still makes sense to make sure your HVAC system stays free of dust and other allergens that could make breathing difficult for you or your family members. In addition to keeping allergens out of your home’s HVAC system—which is almost always done during general cleaning—having your ductwork cleaned by trained professionals will help prevent them from getting into the system in the first place.

Air duct cleaning can help improve everyone’s quality of life by reducing allergy and asthma symptoms.

Nobody likes the feeling of being stuffed up, so it’s no wonder that allergies can make life miserable for many people. When you have allergies, your immune system responds to allergens (substances that you are allergic to) by releasing histamine in response. Histamine causes inflammation, which is why allergy symptoms include stuffy nose, sneezing and watery eyes.

Aeration is key to reducing exposure to these allergens because it helps dilute them through ventilation and circulation throughout your home. By providing better air quality, you’ll experience fewer allergy symptoms. An air duct cleaning company can help decide what will best help your home!

Air duct cleaning can prevent allergens from getting into your HVAC system in the first place.

If you have allergies or asthma and live in a home with an HVAC system, you know that the air ducts can become a breeding ground for allergens. As the air circulates through your home, these allergens settle in the ductwork and get distributed throughout the house. This can happen even if there are no visible signs of dust or debris in your ductwork.

As an added bonus, when allergens are present in your ducts they’re also sending out chemical signals that exacerbate allergic reactions and make it harder for people with allergies to breathe. This can lead to shortness of breath, headaches, watery eyes and sneezing—all symptoms that may require medical attention if left untreated!

You should get your air ducts cleaned if they are dirty, or you have allergies or asthma

• If you have allergies or asthma, then you should consider getting your air ducts cleaned.
• Air ducts can be a source of allergens and other pollutants. They are not part of the HVAC system or your air filter, so they aren’t cleaned by those systems either.
• If you want to keep your home as clean as possible for yourself and for those around you, it is important that you get regular professional cleaning done on all components in your home’s ventilation system.
