Spring in New Orleans is beautiful, and for many of us, it also signals the start of allergy season. Did you know your home’s energy habits can make a big difference in how comfortable you feel during allergy season and how much you spend on energy? Here are a few reminders to help your home get ready.
- A well-maintained HVAC system not only improves indoor comfort but also reduces energy waste and extends equipment life. A tune-up can:
- Improve airflow
- Boost efficiency by up to 30%
- Reduce allergens circulating in your home
- Change your air filters regularly.
Spring allergens put extra strain on your HVAC system. Swap your filter every 30 to 60 days during peak allergy season. A clean air filter helps trap pollen, dust and dander—keeping your indoor air fresher while helping your system run more efficiently.
- Seal air leaks to keep allergens out.
Gaps around windows, doors and ductwork can invite outdoor allergens and let your cool, conditioned air escape. These improvements help maintain cleaner indoor air and lower your energy bills.
Improvements include:
- Weatherstripping doors
- Caulking around windows
- Sealing duct leaks
