Allergies are nothing to sneeze at. With over 50 million Americans suffering from those pesky annual sneezes, scratchy throats, watery eyes, and runny noses, many homeowners desperately search for remedies year in and year out to no avail.
What is the surprising culprit behind many people’s allergies? Their HVAC system! That’s right — put down the nasal spray and throw away your box of tissues because the secret to correcting your allergies may lie in those dirty air ducts.
How Your HVAC Affects Allergies
Believe it or not, your air conditioner affects your indoor air more than you think.
Over the years, dust, pollutants, and allergens in your home are swept up by your AC or heater and are then trapped in your HVAC filters and air vents.
However, if homeowners don’t schedule routine HVAC maintenance to clean out those air ducts, all of that dirt builds up and often gets redistributed into your home’s air.
Sometimes air ducts get so caked with dirt that mold growth can sprout. This means that in addition to pollens, dust, and allergens, mold spores can float around your home, too. And as any allergy-sufferer knows, mold spores only cause more damage to your respiratory system, heightening your allergies and irritating your throat, nose, and eyes.
