The warmer seasons in BC bring on the sunshine and fresh flowers, but they also mean allergy season is at its peak. Whether it’s tree pollen, dust or mould, allergens can easily make their way inside your home and can be really uncomfortable for you and your family.
The good news is that your HVAC system can play a big role in improving indoor air quality and can help you breathe easier.
One of the most important features in your HVAC system is its air filter. Standard filters can catch larger dust particles, but upgrading to a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter can make a huge difference for allergy sufferers. These filters can trap up to 99.97% of airborne particles like pollen, pet dander and mould spores, stopping them from going through your home.
Humidity control is another important part of controlling indoor allergens. In areas that are more humid, excess moisture can promote mould growth and dust mites, both huge allergy triggers. A well-maintained HVAC system helps to regulate humidity levels and keeps your indoor environment balanced and comfy. If your system isn’t doing the job, we can guide you with everything from filter upgrades to full HVAC maintenance in Maple Ridge.
