For individuals who suffer from allergies caused by natural sources like mold and pollen, shifts in the seasons can be a nightmare. While it is easy to stay indoors when the pollen count is high outside, did you know your indoor air quality could be making your allergies worse? The fact is, your home is not airtight and particulates will always find a way into your space.
Not all hope is lost, however; there are steps you can take to help eliminate common allergens in your indoor air. Read on to learn more about the importance of your home’s indoor air quality. Let the team at Southern Air help you breathe easier in your home this allergy season.

Once inside, they can enter your HVAC system and be recirculated throughout your space. Many Louisiana residents suffer from seasonal allergies caused by:
