Spring weather brings with it allergy season. Sneezing, coughing, itching eyes, and other irritating symptoms. Many people ask whether air conditioning can help with allergies. Air conditioners can help control humidity in the home and filter air. Your HVAC system can help with allergies if it is properly serviced and maintained. That is why Cascade Energy Services provides air conditioning maintenance, service, repair, and installation in Snohomish County.
How Air Conditioners Help with Allergies
Things like dust or pet dander are present in your home year-round. An HVAC system with the proper filters can greatly improve your indoor air quality. The filters filter out things like:
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Dust mites
- Other irritant air particles
When these things are filtered out, they do not get to your lungs. Humidity control is also important to indoor air quality, and an air conditioner helps with that. When there are high moisture levels in the air, mildew, bacteria, and mold can grow. All of which can cause health problems and, for some people, can be deadly. The key to avoiding these problems is the correct humidity ratio.
When Your HVAC System Doesn’t Help
If your air conditioner isn’t properly maintained, the air quality in your home can actually be impacted negatively. This is means your allergies will get worse. If you do not change the filters, often the trapped particles will build up. When that happens, the only place they have to go is right back into your home.

I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
