How to Improve Indoor Air Quality for Allergy Season

Spring is in the air—and so are pollen, dust, and other allergens. These days, we’re spending more time indoors than ever before, with studies showing the average person now spends over 90% of their day inside. That makes the quality of your indoor air more important than ever, especially during allergy season. If you’re sneezing more than usual or waking up with a stuffy nose, your HVAC system could be the key to relief. At Scenic Air Solutions, we’re here to help you take good care of your air and breathe easier at home. Here’s how:

1. Swap Out Your Air Filters Regularly

Clogged or old HVAC filters can’t trap allergens effectively, and they can let dust and debris settle in your ducts. Switch to high-efficiency filters (like HEPA or MERV-rated options) and replace them every 1-3 months—more often if you have pets or seasonal allergies. This simple step keeps both your air and ducts cleaner without extra hassle. Not sure which filter is right for your system? Our team can recommend the perfect fit during your next tune-up.

2. Add an Air Purifier to Your Arsenal

Portable air purifiers or whole-home systems paired with your HVAC can tackle allergens filters miss, like pet dander or smoke particles. Ask us about integrating a top-tier air purification system that works seamlessly with your setup.

3. Control Humidity Levels

Mold and dust mites thrive in damp conditions. Use a dehumidifier or let your HVAC system maintain humidity between 30-50%. Our technicians can check your unit’s dehumidifying power and suggest upgrades if needed.

4. Schedule a Seasonal Check-Up

A well-maintained HVAC system is your first line of defense against poor air quality. Our Scenic Air Solutions experts can inspect your unit, clean key components, and ensure it’s running at peak performance to keep allergens at bay.

Allergy season doesn’t have to mean misery indoors—especially when we’re spending so much time at home. With a few simple steps and the right support, you can turn your space into a sanctuary of clean, fresh air. Ready to take control?
