For many people living in The Illinois Valley, allergies and sensitivities can turn the changing seasons into a time of discomfort rather than enjoyment. At Summit Heating & Air Conditioning (815-664-2535 / summitheating-ac.com, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Here's a comprehensive guide to improving your indoor air quality, making your home a haven for allergy sufferers.

Regular HVAC Maintenance

The first step in ensuring clean air circulates throughout your home is regular HVAC maintenance. Over time, dust, pollen, and other allergens can accumulate in your system, affecting its efficiency and the quality of air it circulates. Our team at Summit Heating & Air Conditioning recommends scheduling professional maintenance at least once a year to clean these particles from your system, ensuring it runs smoothly and distributes clean air.

Air Filtration Systems

Investing in a high-quality air filtration system can significantly improve your indoor air quality. High-Efficiency Particulate Air filters are designed to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, including pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, which are common triggers for allergies and sensitivities. Our experts can help you choose and install the right air filtration system for your home, tailored to your specific needs.

Humidity Control

Both too much and too little humidity can exacerbate allergy symptoms. Low humidity can cause dryness in your airways, while high humidity can encourage the growth of mold and dust mites. Consider installing a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels (between 30% and 50%) throughout your home. Our team can advise you on the best solutions to keep your indoor air comfortable and health.

Indoor Air Quality Assessments

If you're unsure where to start, consider scheduling an indoor air quality assessment. Our team can evaluate your home's air quality and recommend specific products and services to address your needs, ensuring you and your family can breathe easier.
