Now that it\u2019s May, we\u2019re deep into the allergy season. This time of year can be miserable for people who suffer from pollen and grass allergies, leading to the dreaded \u201chay fever.\u201d Even for people who don\u2019t have specific allergies like these, the high pollen count in the air can add an extra level of irritation to the day from an itchy nose to mild headaches.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to suffer during allergy season. There are ways to reduce the problem, and we\u2019ve recently looked at how installation of indoor air quality products in your home<\/a> can make a big difference in how allergy season affects people in your household. Talk to our professionals to find out more about our indoor air quality services in Fresno, CA<\/a> and throughout the Central Valley. We\u2019ll find a solution for you!<\/p>\n We want to emphasize how much trouble allergies are during this time of year\u2014and how most of their symptoms are preventable. The high levels of pollen in the air as flowers bloom in the spring warmth triggers allergic rhinitis<\/a>, a.k.a. hay fever. If you or people in your household suffer from hay fever during this time of year, keep a close watch on the pollen count each day. (Here\u2019s a local forecast for our area.<\/a>) If the forecast shows pollen counts in the high-medium or high levels, this is when you should take morning allergy medication. Keep your doors and windows closed, and avoid outdoor activity in the morning, when the pollen count is at its highest.<\/p>\n Of course, closing up your house to protect indoor air quality is more helpful when you already have high indoor air quality. This is where our indoor air quality products can make a big difference. They\u2019ll see that allergens inside your home are eliminated or kept to a minimum. Running the AC is helpful, but if the HVAC system doesn\u2019t have powerful enough air filters (and we aren\u2019t talking about the standard system filter, which isn\u2019t an air quality product) all the air blown around the house might make the problem worse. We can help outfit your ventilation system with the right type of air filter<\/a>. If your ventilation system is drawing<\/em> pollutants into it through leaks in the ductwork, we can seal up the ducts<\/a> to keep the air clean. We also install a variety of air cleaners and air purifiers that can make a huge difference. Just make sure you work with our professionals<\/a> and don\u2019t try to guess what sort of system you need.<\/p>\n This is a possibility for helping to combat allergies we didn\u2019t mention in our previous post. A ductless AC doesn\u2019t blow around pollutants gathered inside a ventilation system; this helps to create a cleaner indoor environment. It\u2019s an extensive change to the way you cool your house, and cutting down on allergens in the air is only one of a host of reasons why ductless mini splits<\/a> are good ideas for new air conditioning installation.<\/p>\n Purl\u2019s Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning serves the Central Valley.
