Your Indoor Air Could Be Making You Sick

Have you ever walked into a business or home and had a sneezing fit? Most likely it is the allergens in the air that have irritated your respiratory system. Once allergens have entered the home, it can be difficult to avoid them. Those living in that environment day-to-day might not realize that the indoor air they are breathing is making them feel sick. Watery eyes, sneezing, and runny nose are all indications of a reaction to an allergen.

Here in southwest Florida, we are prone to mold and mildew problems due to the constant high humidity. These two can release spores into the air that can cause allergic reactions, sometimes severe. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms are all areas that mold and mildew like to grow. For those who suffer from asthma or any respiratory disease, living in this environment can be very problematic.

Another allergen that affects many homeowners is the dust mite. These teeny tiny critters love humid, warm environments and multiply quickly. They tend to live in pillows, mattresses, furniture, and carpeting and rugs. The more you try to clean them up, the more you kick the allergens into the air. This can cause reactions. In fact, dust mites are a leading cause for asthma triggers in children. To reduce the amount of dust mites in your indoor air, remove carpeting and replace with tile or hardwood flooring. Change pillows frequently and/or toss into the dryer for a bit where the heat will kill them off.

Regardless of every precaution you take, there will always be some allergens inside of your home. Here at All Day Air Cooling and Heating, we use the REME HVAC Cell to kill 99% of the bacteria, viruses, and mold in your home. The system creates an oxidizer plasma that is the result of a mix of oxygen and humidity. We blow it through the ducts in your home, distributing it to every room.
