If you have asthma, you probably know that a variety of factors can cause symptoms. For instance, you probably feel much worse in the winter. While some triggers may be out of your control, you should deal with your HVAC system so that you don’t experience as many asthma symptoms.

Why is Your Asthma Worse in Cooler Weather?

If you’ve had asthma for a while, your doctor has probably explained to you that colder weather inhibits lung function. As cold, dry air enters the lungs, the temperature change causes the lungs to constrict, or undergo bronchospasms. This affects the bronchial tubes, which draw fresh air into the lungs.

The condition is further complicated by the use of a traditional HVAC system that uses ducts to deliver heated air. The HVAC system pushes air through the ducts and circulates contaminants, which causes people in the room to inhale pet dander, dust, pollen, and other allergens.

How Can a Ductless Heating System Help? 

A wall-mounted heating system can alleviate the problem of recirculated contaminants in the air since it doesn’t rely on ducts to deliver heated air.

A Mitsubishi Electric® heating system includes the hot start feature, which means you won’t get that initial burst of cool air. Eliminating that cold start is important for asthma sufferers and is one more way that your new ductless heating and cooling system can help you avoid asthma attacks.
