March in Elkton signals the beginning of spring allergy season. Tree and early grass pollen enter homes, often carried by wind and circulating through HVAC systems. Without proper precautions, pollen, dust, and mold spores can reduce air quality and cause allergy symptoms.
Tips to Reduce Indoor Allergens
Upgrade Air Filters:
Install MERV 13 or HEPA-rated filters to trap pollen and fine dust particles.
Clean Ducts and Vents:
Professional duct cleaning removes built-up dust and pollen that circulate when your system runs.
Seal Leaks and Drafts:
Check windows, doors, and ducts for leaks that allow pollen into your home.
Use Supplemental Air Purifiers:
Portable or whole-home purifiers help capture allergens that pass through standard HVAC filters.
