Stop Summer Asthma And Allergy Triggers With Regular AC maintenance

The Summer season brings a slew of threats to the respiratory system, especially for individuals suffering from Asthma. During summer, humidity levels can soar up so high that it can trigger an asthma attack. Similarly, breathing becomes difficult in an extremely hot environment causing shortness of breath. 

The hot summer weather causes several people to instead stay indoors in the comfort of their homes. Just when you think that staying indoors during the summer can help mitigate asthma triggers and allergies- your HVAC system may put you at risk of asthma attacks and allergies. Unmaintained HVAC systems can lead to several respiratory problems. Preventive maintenance provides a safe home for everyone. 

Stop The Spread Of Allergy Triggers

Over time, dust, pollen, animal dander, and mold can build up inside your AC duct. Without maintenance, these allergens can spread throughout your home, causing unexplained and often incessant allergic reactions to your family. Exposure to mold spores can cause severe, often life-threatening asthma attacks to a number of individuals. Preventive maintenance ensures that your AC ducts are sterilized, disinfected and free from allergen buildup. 

Better Humidity Control 

Regular HVAC maintenance will ensure that your HVAC system is running efficiently. This means it can serve its function better- one of which is controlling the level of humidity inside your home. As previously discussed, a high level of humidity makes air harder to breathe and may irritate your airways. High humidity can also worsen the quality of air in your home since it encourages the growth of allergens and asthma triggers, including molds. 

Better Air Quality For A Healthier Life

Air filters are inspected and cleaned during HVAC maintenance. Clean, unclogged filters mean that clean air circulates inside your home. Apart from replacing or cleaning your air filters, HVAC technicians may recommend other services that will ensure that your entire HVAC system is clean. These can include air purifiers and enhanced air filtration among others. These things contribute to having better indoor air quality, which is a prerequisite to a healthier life. 

Comfort And Ease

Breathing in good quality air will bring comfort and peace of mind for people living with Asthma. Air pollutants are present in unmaintained HVAC systems, and this makes it uncomfortable for anyone who has Asthma or allergic rhinitis. HVAC cleaning will provide homeowners comfort knowing that the air they breathe is healthy, clean and allergen-free. 

Prevent Insects And Parasites From Multiplying 

Insects and parasites thrive in warm and humid places. A regularly maintained HVAC system helps stop insects and parasites. A cool environment can effectively reduce the number of critters inside your home-especially ones that desire a warm and moist environment. Poorly maintained HVAC systems allow dust mites to thrive.

Conclusion 

Preventive maintenance will not only benefit your health but save you from having incredibly high energy consumption as well. Through regular maintenance, your HVAC will run efficiently without needing the extra power often associated with summer.
