Are you or a family member experiencing respiratory issues? While
allergens are a common cause of respiratory problems, your air conditioning
system could be to blame. Here is a closer look
at the connection between your ducts, your A/C, and your family's respiratory
health.
Your Home's IAQ
Studies have found that the average person is exposed to more
contaminants in their home than anywhere else. The simple reason for this is
the fact that most of us spend quite a bit of time at home. During the summer months,
your air conditioning system could be your first line of defense against
outdoor allergens and contaminants. This means that even minor problems with
the A/C could result in major health problems
for your family.
Poor Air Quality
The human body is designed to filter out many of the allergens and
airborne contaminants we come into contact with, but it is not 100 percent
efficient at this job. In addition to your air conditioner pulling in outside
air, you may be accidentally bringing contaminants into your home from all over
town. When these contaminants are not properly filtered by your HVAC system,
families will often struggle with unbearable seasonal allergies, ongoing
illnesses, red eyes, runny noses, and other flu-like symptoms.
HVAC Maintenance
Seasonal HVAC maintenance is one of the most effective ways to preserve
your home's air quality. Be sure to have your air
conditioning system regularly maintained by professional technicians, such
as the ones from Brown & Reaves Services, Inc.
