Around one in five Australians have been affected by allergies at some stage in their lives. Ranging from mild hayfever to severe asthma, allergies can be a mild annoyance for a few weeks or severely impact your life every day.
Reducing airborne allergens in your home can decrease the severity of allergic reactions to things like dust mites, pollen, mould, or animal fur and dander.
Melbourne’s pollen forecast for the 2018-19 spring and summer is predicted to be low due to the reduced rainfall through winter this year. But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be days when your eyes itch and your asthma flares up when the grass pollen takes to the air.
To ensure you’re as comfortable as possible in your home this spring/summer follow these allergy-reducing tips.
If you’re trying to decide whether to install air conditioning or an evaporative cooler before the warmer weather hits, opt for a reverse cycle split system or ducted air conditioner with advanced air filter systems. The unit will also provide clean filtered air for heating during winter.
Some manufacturers, like Daikin, have created air conditioning systems and air purifiers that can dramatically improve the air quality in your home.
Daikin’s split system air conditioners are National Asthma Council of Australia Sensitive Choice approved which makes them perfect for installation in the homes of allergy sufferers.
Our experienced air conditioning technicians can provide expert advice on choosing the right air conditioner for your home and your needs.
