Can Air Conditioners Help with Allergies

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since our last blog on blower motors. I’m writing to you today because it is May and we have had a bit of wind here in Arizona. The weather is dry and plants and flowers are blooming. This leads to allergies. A lot of us suffer from allergies and experience sneezing, headaches and runny noses. If you do not suffer from allergies, you definitely know a relative or friend who does.  Allergies are defined as a damaging immune response by the body to a substance especially pollen, fur or dust. Our bodies can be hypersensitive and make us feel very uncomfortable. It isn’t fun and we have to take allergy medication, sometimes over the counter but what else can you do before going to the doctor.

Evans Cool Solutions can help keep your allergies away by keeping your air conditioner healthy. We can help keep your allergies away by performing a wellness check and getting your air conditioner ready for the summer. At Evans Cool Solutions we are ahead of the game and have done a lot of these already. But one thing that can always be done is change your air filters. Some people change them a few months a year but we recommend they be changed at least every three months. If a person suffers from allergies should be changed more. If you are hypersensitive ask a neighbor or family member for help. Another option is to call Evans Cool Solutions. Our technicians are happy to help.  A dirty filter traps impurities such as pet hair, dust and pollen to name a few. Never run an air conditioner with a  dirty filter.  A clean air filter helps circulate air and keeps air moving freely in your home. While we can’t promise that all allergens can be removed, we can confidently say that a lot of allergens can be removed.

Did you know that a healthy air conditioner can also help with reducing the amount of humidity in your home. While Arizona is dry, there can still be humidity. Humidity is a common cause of allergies because it breeds mold, bacteria and mildew. These are dangerous to people who suffer from ailments like allergies or asthma. While having us check your ac is important, we can also check your ductwork for signs of dust and allergens. We can help with minor cleaning and refer companies that can do more extensive duct work sanitizing.

Our customers can help reduce allergens by keeping your unit free from indoor allergens such as dust and pet hair or outdoor debris such as tree branches, grass and pollen. This can be regular pick up and sweeping of the yard or keeping your doors and windows closed. Keep your air conditioner running to ensure proper air circulation.  Our newer air conditioning units are energy efficient. Running your air conditioner does not have to affect your energy bill. We also have smart thermostats that can be set at a comfortable temperature that will not negatively affect your bill or ac unit. That’s right, maintaining cooler air conditioning temperatures can help reduce allergens without affecting your energy bill. Your air conditioner is a good tool at keeping allergies, bacteria, mildew and fungus away.

At Evans Cool Solutions, we can also install Whole Home Air Purification systems that work with your air conditioner to keep air clean, fresh and allergy free. These have built in filters and uv light that can help remove impurities such as dust, pollen or smoke. All of these options will still require regular wellness checks and maintenance. However, using our whole home air purification systems with your air conditioner can decrease humidity by up to 50% and act as a dehumidifier. Your home will have less allergens, bacteria and mold etc.

In conclusion, get your air conditioners maintained regularly with our wellness checks twice a year.  Change your filters regularly and keep doors and windows closed. Give Evans Cool Solutions a call for all your air conditioning needs. We are here to help so give us a call and Be Cool With Us!
