How to use your HVAC to combat allergies

Are you one of the millions of Americans affected by allergies every year?

Make sure your HVAC system is helping alleviate your symptoms, not making them worse. Seasonal change can be a stressful experience when it causes sinus headaches, sneezing, and allergies to many homeowners.

Fortunately, there are several methods to manage indoor allergies using your HVAC. The air quality in any house can be significantly improved by an efficiently maintained HVAC system. It does this by filtering allergens from the air to reduce the concentration that might cause a reaction. A well-sealed building with a high-performance HVAC can considerably improve your air quality. We're here to tell you how to maximize its potential.

Clean Ducts: Most of the dust that is cycled back through fresh filtration systems by a strong HVAC is removed. Ducts are designed to allow air to flow without becoming clogged. Because the HVAC keeps air flowing and continuously filtered, your air ducts seldom require cleaning in good working order.

Clean Outdoor Unit: After some time, your outside unit accumulates a large number of debris and dust particles, which can easily filter through your house and provide a lot of typical allergy symptoms. To avoid this, keep your outdoor unit clean to ensure that no unwanted allergens pollute your air. Sweeping or vacuuming the area around your outdoor unit is essential.

In-Duct Air Purifier: Air pollution isn’t just car exhaust or factory smoke. Dust mites, mold spores, pollen, and pet dander in the air inside your home can cause problems if your family has allergies or asthma.

The REME-HALO® is more than a regular UV lamp because of its unique design as well as its capacity to improve the quality of the air in your house through action. The majority of air purification systems are passive, therefore they are ineffective at substantially reducing pollutants. (RFG, 2022)

The REME-HALO may be used with any existing HVAC system, but it is most often seen in 1-5 ton central HVAC systems in homes or offices. Here are a few benefits of using the REME-HALO:

• Reducing Odors – If you have a room that smells like mold, but no matter what you do, it does not seem to solve the problem. Or you have a smelly pet – our system is designed to reduce those odors.

• Spread of viruses and bacteria – especially in this day and age, we all want to do everything we can to keep the people we care about from getting sick because of contaminated air and surfaces in our homes. The multi-faceted approach of REME-HALO® helps reduce the spread of pathogens in the air and on the surfaces in your home or office.

• Toxins and Pollutants – With the multitude of pollutants that can spread throughout your indoor air, you need an active process to reduce them. REME-HALO® is designed to actively reduce these pollutants in the air we spend so much time breathing.

• Home Application – With the REME-HALO® any home with a central HVAC system can make a difference in air quality within minutes. You will notice the difference in air quality immediately, which will improve the quality of life in your home.
