Breathe Easy: How Clean Indoor Air Helps Fight Allergies in Winchester Homes
Did you know the average American spends nearly 90% of their time indoors? That makes the quality of the air inside your home just as important if not more so than the air outside.
At Cool Techs Heating & Air, we’re passionate about helping families across Winchester, VA breathe cleaner, healthier air. If you’re noticing more sneezing, congestion, or itchy eyes at home this season, your indoor air quality (IAQ) could be the reason.
Understanding the Allergy Connection
According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI), up to 30% of people suffer from allergies. Common culprits include:
- Pollen from trees, grass, and weeds that sneak in through doors and windows
- Dust mites living in your carpets, bedding, and furniture
- Pet dander from furry family members like cats and dogs
- Mold spores that thrive in damp basements, bathrooms, or HVAC systems
What You Can Do
Improving your indoor air quality doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here are a few simple steps that make a big difference:
- Change air filters regularly – every 1–3 months
- Schedule HVAC maintenance – a clean system improves airflow
- Consider air purifiers or upgraded filters
- Control humidity to avoid mold and dryness
