Tips to breathe easier during Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month

HORSHAM, Pa. - May 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Spring is a favorite time of the year for many, with perfect temperatures, blooming flowers and the buzz of outdoor activity. For some spring also means runny noses, itchy throats and the sound of coughing and wheezing.According to the National Asthma and Allergy Foundation the month of May is peak season for asthma and allergy sufferers. And your home's indoor air quality (IAQ) can help eleviate, or aggravate, asthma and allergy symptoms. Our technicians at Stauffer's One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning offer these tips to help:

Spring Cleaning

Dust and clean your home frequently. Wash bed linens and clothing weekly in hot water to kill bacteria and dust mites. Use allergy proof mattress and pillow covers. If possible, keep pets out of bedrooms...and employ ecofriendly controls against insects, pests and rodents.Complete any painting projects and air out your home before the peak season forces you to close windows.

Tune Up Time

Have your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system tuned up. A trained technician can clean and inspect your unit, coils and drain pans. Replace the filters for your HVAC system monthly or as required by your system’s manufacturer. A clean filter helps trap dust and pollutants and helps your system operate more efficiently. Ask your technician about state-of-the-art UV Sterilization units, and if they would be a good fit for your system. Right now, you can have a Spring Tune Up for just $59!
