Summer in West Chester brings sunshine, warm weather, and unfortunately, pollen, dust, and allergens. Many homeowners don’t realize that their HVAC system can play a major role in how these irritants circulate in the home, affecting indoor air quality and triggering allergy symptoms.
At Aire Serv of West Chester, we help homeowners identify the hidden ways their cooling and heating systems impact health and comfort—and provide practical solutions to improve air quality all summer long.
1. Dirty Air Filters Circulate Allergens
Filters trap dust, pollen, and other particles. When they get clogged, contaminants can bypass the filter and recirculate in your home, making allergy symptoms worse.
Solution: Replace or clean air filters every 30–60 days to maintain clean airflow.
2. Ductwork Can Spread Dust and Mold
Leaky or poorly maintained ducts accumulate dust, mold, and debris. As air moves through the system, these irritants are delivered directly into living spaces.
Solution: Schedule professional duct cleaning and inspection to remove buildup and seal leaks.
3. Excess Humidity Encourages Mold Growth
High humidity in summer promotes mold in your HVAC system and home, contributing to musty odors and allergy flare-ups.
Solution: Install a whole-home dehumidifier or ensure your A/C system is properly dehumidifying your home.
4. Improper Ventilation
Without proper airflow and ventilation, allergens remain trapped indoors, increasing exposure and discomfort.
Solution: Ensure vents are clear, ducts are balanced, and your HVAC system is circulating air efficiently.
Tips to Reduce Summer Allergies
- Keep doors and windows closed during high pollen days.
- Run your HVAC system with fresh filters and properly balanced airflow.
- Use HEPA or high-quality filters to trap smaller particles.
- Schedule regular maintenance to keep coils, ducts, and fans clean.
