Heating and Cooling Service Reduces Cincinnati Allergy Triggers

Schedule Now

Spring is coming with allergens to affect many Cincinnati residents, so fight back against allergy symptoms with your heating and cooling system. Reduce allergens and keep allergy sufferers comfortable in your home.

Our Cincinnati heating and cooling professionals discuss how to put heating and cooling systems to work to improve air quality and reduce allergens in the home.

Heating and Cooling Tasks to Fight Allergies

HVAC Service

The first step toward better indoor air quality is to schedule heating and cooling service now. Over the course of normal use, heating and cooling systems collect a lot of dust, dirt and debris. This accumulation settles on components, which reduces their efficiency and performance. As air circulates through heating and cooling equipment, it picks up debris. Then, the air and debris cycles back into your home. Common indoor pollutants include pollen, pet hair, dander, dust mites, airborne virus and bacteria particulates, as well as mold and lead.

First, heating and cooling service reduces allergy triggers in your system and pollutants in your home. Second, a cleaner system performs better and removes contaminants more effectively. Reduce allergens indoors with regular preventative maintenance service!

In addition to air quality improvements, heating and cooling service offers other valuable benefits:

  • Improved performance and comfort
  • Lower energy bills
  • Reduced risks of breakdowns and repairs
  • Longer system service life

Change Your Filter

Air filters in your heating and cooling system trap allergy triggers and other contaminants. In turn, air filters keep them out of your home. We recommend you check your filter monthly. Air filters need to be changed on a regular basis, as recommended by the filter manufacturer and your usage. Depending on the filter you use, this is monthly to once per year.

If you use a standard disposable filter with a low MERV rating, your home doesn’t benefit from great contaminant control. Upgrade your furnace filter to one with a MERV rating of 8 to 13 for better allergen removal. Also, be mindful of the stress a dirty or clogged filter puts on your heating and air system. Be safe and make filter checks routine.

Indoor Air Quality Products

There are many indoor air quality products to create better indoor environments for allergy sufferers. Because 90 percent of the average person’s day spent indoors, an improvement in indoor air quality at home has a big impact.

Apollo Home offers indoor air quality solutions including:

  • Media air cleaners: Media air cleaners work with your home’s heating and cooling system to remove contaminants including allergy triggers as air circulates. They work even when your heating and cooling system is off to provide excellent air filtration. Media air cleaners effectively remove even very small allergen particulates to reduce symptoms.
  • UV air purifiers: UV air purifiers use germicidal UV light within your heating and cooling equipment. The UV light neutralizes airborne allergen matter including mold and prevents regrowth in the system.
  • Whole home dehumidifiers: When moisture levels indoors are high, allergens flourish. Mold, therefore, grows more easily and dust mite populations increase. A whole-home dehumidifier keeps indoor relative humidity levels in an appropriate range and controls allergens. They work with your heating and cooling equipment to extract moisture from the air in the system.

Conclusion: Air Quality Improvements to Heating and Cooling Help Every Household Member

"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."
- Cassandra B.
"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."
- Sarah B.
"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."
