Seasonal Changes: Avoiding The Risk Of Allergies With AC Servicing

Seasonal changes uproot seasonal allergies as well. If you’re suffering from an allergy, you’ll often be happy to come home and escape from the pollen and pollutants outside. However, your indoor air quality with an air conditioner that hasn’t been serviced or maintained can aggravate your allergies even more. 

This article will walk you through how AC maintenance or AC servicing can avoid the risk of allergies along with seasonal changes. 

Effective dehumidifying 

Filtering the air that enters your home and controlling humidity are two key features that affect your indoor air quality and how they can trigger allergies.

An AC helps filter the air that enters your home – which can keep away any possible allergens or pollens from getting into your indoor air. However, when your AC is not serviced, it builds dirt on your condenser coils, producing a dirt layer on the coil. This acts as a barrier between the air blown over the coils and the heat inside the refrigerant.

As a result, stress is induced on your AC, making it operate less efficiently, reducing the effectiveness of dehumidifying. When the indoor air is humid, it builds up more moisture, aggravating allergies and related symptoms. 

An effective dehumidifying takes the moisture out from your indoor air and protects your house from mold growth or thriving dust. An effective dehumidifying that results from your AC can also clear up allergy mucous secretions faster

Eliminates indoor air pollution 

Factors like pets, smoking, cooking, indoor plants, and the neighborhood’s environment can all clog the filter of your AC and make it dirty sooner or later- especially when not serviced often.

Indoor air pollution caused by a dirty filter can trigger allergies and sinus congestion. People with allergies to animals, pollen, and mold can be significantly affected by indoor air pollution. This is because a dirty air filter can collect and harbor allergens and allow them to circulate through your house when the A/C is in use – thereby triggering allergies. 

Servicing your AC by washing the air filter or even replacing them once in a few months is recommended to overcome these allergic effects from your AC. 

Avoids the risk of mold growth 

Mold needs two things to grow; one is moisture, and the other is an organic food source. When your AC experiences any leak or spills that are not properly cleaned or drained, it gives enough room for mold growth. 

Apart from this, condenser and evaporator coils are the main contributors to condensation in an AC and have the potential for water leakages when it’s not properly drained – aiding mold growth. 

On the other hand, when dust accumulates in your AC due to low AC maintenance or servicing, it gives a food source for molds to grow in. 

When your AC becomes contaminated with molds they will efficiently distribute mold spores across an entire room or house and even while sleeping. 

This can result in severe allergic reactions among people with mold allergies. Besides, inhaling mold spores can also cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, eye irritation, coughing or wheezing, or, in some cases, skin irritation.
