The unseasonably warm winter that Florida has just experienced, and what thus far is shaping up to be a similarly warm spring is great news for most people. But for allergy sufferers it's going to mean that allergy season is starting early this year.
The mighty oak trees found everywhere in South West Florida are already beginning to drop their seed pods, and with it the bright green pollen dust that causes allergy sufferers so much misery. At the height of pollen season the only shelter from Mother Nature is indoors, but even that can be an atmosphere of pollen and dust unless the air conditioning system has been cleaned, well maintained and the air filters changed on a regular basis.
Although it might sound strange, the air within our homes can often be as polluted as the air outside our homes. Animal dander, dust, mold spores and pollen are all around us, and if your air conditioning system isn't performing at its peak, then the air quality in your home will suffer.
Clean air ducts and clean air filters can make a world of difference to your home and your quality of life, which is why professional HVAC specialists recommend a home's air conditioning system is cleaned and checked to optimize its performance.
"By periodically cleaning your home's ducts you can clean the dust and other contaminants that commonly build up and then become cycled in the air you breathe." According to Best Air, South West Florida's leading air conditioning and electrical service specialist, adding that; "If ducts are severely clogged then the impediment to air flow can lower the efficiency of your air conditioning system."
So an A/C system clogged with dust and debris not only adds to the poor quality of the air within your home, but it also adds to your energy bills because it's not performing as efficiently as it could. Paying to have you're A/C system undergo a cleaning or maintenance program will more than likely save you the money and more in the mid to long-term.
You can also improve your air conditioning system, and with it the air quality in your home, by regularly replacing the air filters. Filters are readily available in the larger grocery stores and all the home improvement stores (Best Air offers a timesaving ‘order online and deliver to your door' service) and if you can't remember when you last changed your air filters a neat trick is to change them every time you pay your utility bills – this way you know you've changed them once a month.
