Allergy Season is Upon Us

Anyone living in Metro Atlanta can easily answer the following trivia question:
 
“What is small, yellow, round and causes nearly 50,000,000 Americans pain and suffering each spring?”
 
That’s right! The answer is pollen!
 
While it might be great for plants, it isn’t usually on the list of things that most people look forward to. A visit to your doctor, coupled with medicine, can often help alleviate some of the problems. One thing that many people overlook is the fact that their home can be one of the biggest contributing factors to allergy problems.
 
Your HVAC system’s job is to circulate air. When this air is not filtered and / or cleaned before it is pumped throughout your home, it can be laced with many allergens. Paying attention to air filters, your HVAC duct work and access points for air can go a long way in helping cap the problems.
 
Change your filters, have a licensed HVAC company inspect your duct work and perform an energy audit on your home. These things, when properly completed, can offer a great bit of relief for anyone in your home who suffers from allergies.
