Do you find yourself sneezing or experiencing itchy eyes more often when you’re at home? You may often focus on outdoor pollution when we think about air quality, but did you know that the air inside your home can be just as polluted—if not more?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, which can significantly impact those suffering from allergies. If you’re someone who suffers from allergies, this might be more than just a minor inconvenience—it could be contributing to your symptoms in ways you didn’t even realise.

The connection between indoor air quality and allergies

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the cleanliness and safety of the air we breathe inside our homes or offices. When pollutants like dust, pollen, mould, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) accumulate in the air, they can cause a variety of health issues, from minor discomforts like headaches to more serious conditions such as asthma or respiratory problems.

One of the most overlooked sources of indoor allergens is your air conditioner. As the air circulates through the system, it can pick up dust, mould spores, bacteria, and other particles, spreading them throughout the home. This constant circulation of contaminants can make it difficult for allergy sufferers to find relief, as the allergens are repeatedly introduced into the indoor environment.

3 easy steps to improve your indoor air quality

Improving your indoor air quality is not only possible, but it can be easily achieved through these proactive steps.

1. Regular cleaning

Dust and vacuum your home frequently, especially in areas where allergens tend to accumulate, such as carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Pet dander, pollen, and dust mites often collect in these areas, and regular cleaning helps minimise their presence. By consistently cleaning your home, you can significantly reduce airborne allergens and make the air you breathe much cleaner.

2. Air conditioner maintenance

Make sure that your air conditioner’s filters are changed regularly, typically every 1–3 months, depending on the usage. Neglecting filter maintenance can lead to a buildup of dust, mould, and other allergens in your system. Clean filters help prevent pollutants from building up inside the system and ensure that healthier air is circulated throughout your home, creating a healthier living environment.

3. Hire a certified technician

A certified technician can deep-clean your air conditioning system, eliminating harmful pollutants that may have built up over time.  They can access areas of the air conditioning system that are difficult to reach, using specialised tools and techniques to ensure the unit is thoroughly cleaned.
