How to Improve Indoor Air Quality Before Allergy Season Hits

As spring approaches, so does allergy season—a time when pollen, dust, and other airborne allergens can make life miserable for allergy sufferers. While you can’t control outdoor allergens, you can take steps to improve your home’s indoor air quality, creating a cleaner and healthier living space.

At Parker Services, we specialize in air filtration systems and air purifiers, which help remove airborne irritants and improve the air you breathe inside your home. If you or your family members suffer from seasonal allergies, now is the perfect time to ensure your indoor environment is as allergen-free as possible.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters During Allergy Season

Many allergens—such as pollen, dust mites, and mold—can accumulate in your home and circulate through your HVAC system. Without proper air filtration, these allergens can linger in the air, leading to symptoms like:

• Sneezing and congestion
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Throat irritation

By improving your home’s indoor air quality before allergy season begins, you can reduce these symptoms and enjoy a more comfortable living space.

Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality Before Allergy Season

1. Upgrade Your Air Filtration System

One of the best ways to remove allergens from your home is by upgrading your air filters. Standard HVAC filters capture large particles, but high-efficiency air filtration systems go further by trapping tiny allergens that can trigger allergy symptoms.

2. Install a Whole-Home Air Purifier

Air purifiers work alongside your HVAC system to remove allergens and bacteria before they circulate throughout your home. They are particularly effective for families with severe allergies or respiratory conditions.

3. Keep Your HVAC System Well-Maintained

A poorly maintained HVAC system can circulate dust, mold, and other allergens throughout your home. Regular maintenance ensures your system is running efficiently and not contributing to poor air quality.

• Replace HVAC filters every 1-3 months
• Schedule professional HVAC maintenance to clean ducts and coils
• Check for mold growth inside your unit

Parker Services offers expert HVAC maintenance to keep your system clean and allergen-free.

4. Control Indoor Humidity Levels

Florida’s humidity can create a breeding ground for mold and dust mites—two major indoor allergens. Keeping indoor humidity levels between 30-50% helps prevent allergen growth.

• Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture
• Ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens
• Fix any leaks that contribute to excess humidity

5. Keep Your Home Clean and Allergen-Free

A clean home is a healthier home. Simple cleaning habits can reduce allergens significantly:

• Vacuum carpets and upholstery with a HEPA filter vacuum
• Wash bedding and curtains in hot water weekly
• Dust surfaces with a microfiber cloth to trap particles

These steps, combined with a high-quality air filtration system and air purifier, can drastically improve your indoor air quality.
