The Tips Were Launched in May, Which is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 19, 2016 / According to the National Asthma and Allergy Foundation, the month of May is peak season for asthma and allergy suffers. They estimate about 50 million Americans have allergies. This year’s warmer than normal winter has delivered a bounty of blooms in many parts of the country, which for many people means runny noses, itching throats and coughing and wheezing. To help people breathe a little easier, the technicians at One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning (R), a company that provides AC tune up services and more, have released this helpful spring checklist:
- Spring Cleaning
Dust and clean the home frequently. Wash bed linens and clothing weekly in hot water to help kill bacteria and dust mites.
- Avoid the Temptation to Air out the House
Although it’s tempting to open up the windows and doors to let the air in, it could also bring in pollen from outside.
- Change the Air Filter
Replace the filters for the HVAC system monthly or as required by the system’s manufacturer. A clean filter helps trap dust and pollutants. It also helps the system operate more efficiently.
- Get a Tune Up
A national survey conducted by One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning found that only about half of U.S. homeowners had their HVAC systems maintained within the last 12 months. That means people could be breathing in 365 days’ worth of pollen, dirt, and irritants. A trained technician can clean and inspect the unit, coils, drain pans and make sure everything is operating at peak efficiency. Regular maintenance could also help save energy and money.
- IAQ and Ductwork
The qualified professionals at One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning can upgrade the air filtration system and seal leaky duct work with improved indoor air quality (IAQ) and efficiency in mind. They offer many services like duct cleaning which can help remove contaminants and they offer duct repairs and upgrades to meet new building codes.
