We inspect a lot of homes, one of the things we really keep coming across is poor quality filters be used in the A/C System. Using cheap fiberglass filters will not remove the small particles responsible for Asthma and Allergy attacks. When you start to use a good quality pleated filter in your A/C, you will start to notice a difference in your quality of life. The frequency of an allergic reaction will subside to a more manageable level. This will make your life better.
Keeping the Air Conditioning System clean is also important. Things get dirty over time. Your home needs to be cleaned on a regular basis, so does your Air Conditioning System. I am amazed by some people who have spotless homes and if you look inside their Air Conditioning System, you will find them dirty due to poor maintenance and bad quality filters. I remember one client who complained that she would clean her house one day, it would be dusty within a couple of days. We looked at her A/C Coils, they were loaded with Mold and Algae. We always try to show our clients the problem area, showed her the coils, she almost freaked out by how dirty they were. She had them cleaned the following morning.
Air purifiers can be helpful also. I have two Austin Air Filters in my own home. One in the Master Bedroom and one in the area where the Air Conditioning intake is. This does a great job of keeping the level of allergens down in my own home. I recommend this approach because it works. The Austin Air Filter has a Carbon Zeolite mixture which is excellent for removing chemicals and odors plus particles in the air. Try this combination and you will be surprised by the improvement of your life at home. I have been using the Austin Air Filters since 1996 and am very happy with their performance.
Some people are always concerned about the cost of buying an Air Filter. What I say to them is "What is the quality of your life worth? Are you willing to be sick for a few extra dollars or be a smart consumer and buy something of quality." Be smart and don't buy the junk out there in the marketplace. Your health is worth the purchase.
In conclusion, Air Conditioning units need to be kept clean and use a good quality pleated filter. Maintenance of your Air Conditioning System is a must to be healthy. Air Purifiers can make a difference in your life. The extra cost for an Austin Air Filter is worth the purchase for you health. In the end, what is your health worth when you feel miserable in your own home.
