During spring and summer, people with allergies can suffer from runny noses, itchy eyes, sore throats, and a host of other nagging symptoms. On days when outdoor allergens are particularly potent, people take refuge indoors, relying on the cool, clean air provided by air conditioning. However, if your AC system is contaminated with dust, dirt, or other pollutants, it may only aggravate the problem.

Colburns Heating & Air Conditioning, serving southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania, explains how an air duct cleaning, proper Air Filters, and UV Air Purifiers can help give people allergy relief:

• Eradicate Dust: The most common form of buildup in air conditioning systems is dust. Dust is a twofold threat to allergies; it reduces air quality and promotes the growth of mold, dust mites, microscopic pests that can worsen allergies and asthma year-round if left unchecked. An air duct cleaning will remove the dust in your AC system, returning your home to a clean haven. 
• Pollen Buildup: Dust isn't the only contaminant that can make its way into your air ducts. When pollen counts are high, particles can drift into your home and, eventually, the air ducts. Once pollen has infiltrated the ducts, turning on your AC won't provide the relief you are looking for. A thorough air duct cleaning clears out all the pollen that's accumulated during the allergy seasons. 
• Complete Cleaning: In addition to pollen and dust, many elements can collect inside a home's air ducts, including mold, debris, and pests. If you don't want the air you breathe to be circulating through filthy, infested ducts, a thorough cleaning is the way to go.
