Spring: Pollen and Allergens

With spring comes blooming flowers, better weather, and more pollen. Pollen and other allergens are easily brought indoors when you come in from the great outdoors.

• Sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion
• Increased problems for people with allergies and asthma.
• Pollen collects on surfaces and in HVAC systems.

Tips for Spring:

• Keep the windows shut during high pollen times
• Install high-efficiency air filters in your HVAC system
• Get a spring HVAC checkup to ensure everything’s clean and working properly.

Summer: Heat, Humidity, and Mould

You see hot summer weather and increased moisture in the air can provide the perfect environment for mould and bacteria to grow, which will have a negative impact on indoor air quality, as well as your lung health. Common issues include:

• Basement or poor air circulation causing musty odors
• Increased risk of respiratory issues
• Allergens: In moist areas, dust mites proliferate

Tips for Summer:

• Use dehumidifiers in damp areas
• Keep air conditioning systems well-maintained
• Clean or change air filters frequently to minimize mould and dust.

Fall: Falling Leaves and Outdoor Debris

With leaves dropping and winds rising, debris can easily brush or blow into your living space through open windows, doors or vents. This can result in:

• Household dust and allergens in the home
• Heating and cooling systems are working harder because of clogged filters
• Decreased efficiency and indoor air circulation

Tips for Fall:

• Unclog gutters and vents to prevent blockage by debris.
• Change air filters and book HVAC servicing
• Weather Seal windows and doors to get outdoor particles out

Winter: Dry Air and Indoor Pollutants

Winter air is cold and can be dry, while indoor heat – even with a humidifier – can lower the humidity enough that you notice:

• Simple, itchy skin, eyes and lungs
• Higher virus and bacteria transmission
• Dust and particulates from closed windows and indoor activity

Tips for Winter:

• Keep the indoor humidity at an ideal level (30‒50%) using a humidifier
• Another is to change filters regularly and keep ducts and heating systems clean.
• Ventilate more often by opening windows to increase the flow of fresh air.

Maintaining Year-Round Air Quality

To keep indoor air fresh and healthy during seasonal changes:

• Regular HVAC inspections and maintenance.
• Purchase superior air filtration systems
• When at home, try to keep the house environment and belongings free of dust, pollen, and mould.
• Monitor Humidity Levels and Stack as Appropriate with Humidifiers or Dehumidifiers

What’s Hiding in Your Air Ducts?

Your air ducts are the lungs of your home, circulating air from your heating and cooling system throughout every room. They also accumulate dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens over time. These particles are recycled through your home each time your system is on, and the indoor air quality worsens, exacerbating allergies.

Types of Allergens in Air Ducts

• Dust mites and debris
• Pollen from outside air
• Pet hair and dander
• Mold and mildew spores
• Bug feces and dead skin Drop

Seasonal or chronic allergies can be a problem for you and your family, and if you have dirty air ducts, they can significantly exacerbate the issue.

How Air Duct Cleaning Helps Allergy Sufferers

Reduces Allergen Circulation: A professional duct cleaning will eliminate the accumulated dust and allergens that would otherwise continue blowing around your house. That means fewer airborne particles and irritants for your immune system to respond to.

Improves Airflow and Filtration: Dirty or obstructed ducts can limit the airflow through them, causing your HVAC system to work harder and less efficiently. Afterward, your system will be able to circulate air more efficiently, and filters will be more effective at catching new allergens.

Prevents Mold Growth: Condensation inside ducts can cause mold to grow, releasing spores that can be particularly dangerous to people with asthma or allergies. Aire One Keswick utilizes industrial-grade tools and safe, antimicrobial products to eliminate mold from your home or business permanently.

Enhances Filter Efficiency: When your ducts are clean, your filters don’t become clogged as fast. This increases the capacity of your entire system to capture airborne allergens before they settle into your home.

Who Benefits the Most?

Although everyone in your household enjoys cleaner air, duct cleaning can be especially beneficial for:

• Children and elderly residents
• Individuals with asthma or chronic respiratory conditions
• Pet owners
• Houses near building areas or busy streets
• Recently renovated homes

If anyone in your home is experiencing unexplained allergy symptoms that worsen indoors, your duct system could be a hidden culprit.
