Clean and Replace Your Air Filters

Dust and debris accumulate in your HVAC system’s air filters over the winter, which leads to lowered indoor air quality in your home and HVAC unit energy efficiency.

For these reasons, manufacturers recommend monthly filter checks and filter replacement at least every three months. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates replacing a dirty air filter can reduce your air conditioner’s energy consumption by as much as 15 percent.

Clean or Seal Your Air Ducts

To improve your home’s indoor air quality further, our expert HVAC technicians are available to clean your air ducts. This removes the dirt, debris, and sometimes mold lodged in the ductwork in your house.

Experts recommend having this service performed every three to five years. Duct cleaning is also recommended following a renovation or new construction. We also recommend it prior to moving into a new home.

Products to Improve Indoor Air Quality & Reduce Seasonal Allergies

In addition to offering preventative maintenance services and service plans to keep your home allergen-free, Hoover also installs these and other products to help you fight seasonal allergies:

Whole-House Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers

Breathing air with the right amount of humidity is one way to relieve the discomfort with seasonal allergies. Whole-house dehumidifiers are ideal if your goal is to remove extra moisture from the air, make your home feel cooler in the summer, and lower the chances of mold growth and dust mites.

Are you troubled by stale air, static electricity, dry sinuses, and recurring viral or bacterial illnesses each winter? If so, consider a whole-home humidifier. A whole-house humidifier regulates the amount of moisture in the air, reducing these issues.

Air Filtration Systems with UV Germicidal Lights

Ultraviolet light has sterilized surfaces for more than a century. Use it to fight seasonal allergies in your home by pairing it with an air cleaner or air filtration system. The UV lights sterilize the biological allergen particles while the air cleaner or filter eliminates them.

HEPA Filters

While HVAC filters keep dust out of equipment and prevent damage, to fight seasonal allergies, you need special air filters designed to trap microscopic particles and keep your air cleaner. Called high energy particulate, or HEPA, filters, the best ones trap more than 99 percent of the pollen, dust, and smoke particles in your home’s air.

Be sure to consult with an HVAC pro from Hoover before purchasing pricey air filters in a big box store. In some cases, these filters are incompatible with a home’s existing furnace, air conditioner, or other equipment.

Heavy filters might strain your HVAC system and create new problems. It’s best to get a recommendation based on your current system and specific situation.
