Clear Your Air

To fight spring and summertime allergies, it is important that you do everything you can. The most effective means of fighting allergies is eliminating them at the source.

• Air Filters: Air filters increase the quality of air inside your home and boost your home AC’s efficiency. Changing your air filters frequently is important to making sure the air inside your home is clean and clear. Reducing the number of pollutants and allergens in your home is the first step to getting through spring sneeze free!

• Dust & Vacuum: It may sound simple and common but eradicating all existing dust and dirt will instantly improve the air around you. That being said, this is not a one-time fix, you must continue to keep your home clean to help maintain the high quality of the air you breathe. Thankfully, there are tools that can help you in your endeavor.

• IAQ Products: There are several different Indoor Air Quality products that can serve your needs and boost the status of the air inside your home.

• Clear Your Ductwork: Your ducts act as pathways for your air to travel along throughout your home. If your ducts are dirty, you will have dirty air throughout your home. Improve the air inside your home and have your ductwork cleaned and sealed.

• Seal Leaks: Like we just alluded to, sealing your ductwork will make sure clean air doesn’t get out, but take that a step further. Finding air leaks inside your home’s infrastructure can help make sure the air on the inside stays clean and any dirty air on the outside stays out.
