Be on the Lookout for these Fall Allergies

Schedule Now

Many people welcome cooler temperatures that autumn brings after a hot summer. However, cool days do not always mean greater health or comfort. Fall allergies are very common and cause miserable symptoms like itchy eyes, stuffy or drippy nose, and coughing, sneezing, and deep fatigue. Here is information about some common fall allergens.

Ragweed

The pollen from this common and widespread weed is responsible for much pain and misery for many fall allergy sufferers. Ragweed releases its pollen in the fall on mild warm days when nights are starting to get cool. Because the pollen is so light, it travels very easily through the air and makes its way into your home through gaps, cracks, open windows, poorly filtered ventilation systems and on your clothing, shoes and hair.

Dust Mites

Dust mites prefer warmth but they can be a problem nearly anytime of the year. They can become airborne through any dust-stirring fall activity such as turning on your forced air heating system. Dust mites cause allergic responses due to a protein produced by their waste. You will not see the mites, for they are too small, but if you experience allergies to dust, mites are a likely culprit.

Mold

Mold loves dampness, organic materials and does very well in mild temperatures. This makes fall a prime time for mold spores, as mold grows readily in plant debris and beneath decaying fallen foliage.

Mold spores are already common in many homes, especially when humidity is uncontrolled, but in the fall an abundance of these allergens can enter your home in the same manner pollen does. Like other allergens, mold triggers a strong immune system response that leads to respiratory symptoms.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
