Allergy season survival guide
The indoor air quality changes that make the biggest difference for allergy sufferers.
Pollen counts outside are out of your control. The concentration inside your home is not.
Highest impact first
Upgrade to a MERV 11–13 filter if your system supports it, and change it every 60 days during peak season.
Clean supply and return ducts so your system stops recirculating settled pollen and dust.
Keep indoor humidity between 40% and 50% to suppress dust mites and mold.
Run the system fan on a low continuous setting to keep air filtering rather than sitting still.
Small habits that add up
Shoes off at the door, bedding washed weekly in hot water, and windows closed on high-pollen mornings. Combined with a clean duct system, most allergy sufferers notice a difference within a week.
