Spring is here finally and with it comes the dreaded allergies. Flowers and trees are blooming to life and scattering their pollen all over. While you can’t stop the trees and flowers from pollinating, you can do some things to lessen your allergies due to them. Make sure you check the pollen count daily to be able to better prepare yourself. You can find this on weather sites. If the pollen count is high make sure you keep your windows closed so that most of the pollen can stay out of your home. Make sure to close off other opening on you home too including chimney flues. Shower and change clothes when you get home from being outside so you aren’t tracking pollen though your home. Make sure you have a fresh HVAC filter to catch the pollen particles so they are filtered out of your breathing air. Make sure you pick the highest MERV rating your system can hold that doesn’t restrict air flow to your system. Using a HEPA filter will help too. Bartlett Heating and Air can help you find the right filter for you. Drinking warm honey is shown to help lessen the effects of allergies. Having your ducts cleaned and sanitized can help reduce the effects of allergies because with that and the filters your air will be so much cleaner that you breathe in all day.
