I have terrible seasonal allergies and they have been even worse this year than usual.
- I don’t know what’s making them worse but I’ve been sneezing and coughing like crazy for the past few weeks.
It’s been terrible for me, and I have run out of ideas for improving! I looked online for ways to get rid of allergies, and one thing that was mentioned was talking to your HVAC company. I thought that talking to our HVAC company sounded like a very strange thing to do to try and help with allergies. But then I kept reading and the website I was reading mentioned all of these different kinds of anti allergen air filters that are able to filter out dust and pollen from your home’s air supply. Not only that, but having your ventilation ducts cleaned on a regular basis can help with your allergies too. Both of those things really made sense to me, especially since I don’t think that we’ve ever had an air duct cleaning done from the time that we moved into this house! It’s true that our HVAC unit could use some attention, and apparently, it could help me deal with all of my terrible allergies this year. The other thing they mentioned was installing a new whole home air purification system to run in tandem with your existing heating and cooling system. A whole home air purifier can get rid of dust and debris that regular air filters can’t, and so that’s another thing that I’m going to have to look into.
