Preparing for Warmer Months: Spring Cleaning for Your HVAC System

- Published by

In our sunny state of Florida, many residents eagerly await the arrival of spring— we get to enjoy sunnier days, warmer weather, and watch our gardens bloom. With temperatures starting to rise, now is the best time for some spring cleaning to ensure your HVAC system is in the best condition possible. Regularly scheduled system maintenance prepares your AC system for the coming season, and helps reduce the impact of pollen and seasonal allergens that often plague Florida’s subtropical climate.

The Importance of Seasonal HVAC Maintenance

Your HVAC system plays a major role in upholding the best possible levels of air quality and comfort. If you let your HVAC go too long without proper maintenance, this can lead to your air system struggling to keep up with increased use, decreased performance, inefficiency, costly repairs, and higher energy bills. With spring maintenance, you can address underlying issues before they become major problems.

What Are the Effects of Pollen on Your HVAC?

Pollen is a significant concern for many of us who suffer from seasonal allergies. Recent studies by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America have shown that changes in climate are worsening pollen season across the US. Most people don’t take into account how increased pollen in the environment is affecting their HVAC system in addition to respiratory health. Pollen and allergens quickly accumulate in air filters, reducing air flow and efficiency. It’s important to make it a habit to change your air filters every one to three months, perhaps even more frequently during peak pollen season.

Improving Your Home’s Air Quality

According to the National Library of Medicine, air pollution and impurities have become the world’s single biggest environmental health risk. You can increase your home’s air quality and reduce airborne allergens by investing in high efficiency air purification systems. We offer top of the line Bryant™ products like air purifiers, ventilators, humidifiers, and UV lamps to minimize airborne mold and bacteria, in turn providing effective relief for those who suffer from seasonal allergies.
