March in Wilmington is the start of tree and early grass pollen season. Pollen can enter your home and circulate through your HVAC system, triggering allergies, reducing air quality, and impacting system efficiency. Taking proactive steps ensures your HVAC continues to function effectively while keeping indoor air clean.
Tips to Prepare for Pollen Season
Upgrade Filters:
Use HEPA or MERV 13 filters to trap pollen, dust, and other allergens before they circulate indoors.
Clean Ducts and Vents:
Dust and pollen accumulation in ducts reduces airflow and efficiency. Professional cleaning ensures optimal performance.
Seal Windows and Doors:
Prevent pollen infiltration by sealing gaps around windows, doors, and vents.
Consider an Air Purifier:
Whole-home or portable purifiers complement your HVAC system by reducing airborne pollen and improving air quality.
