Anyone who has parked under a live oak in March knows Gainesville pollen. That same yellow dust loads up your filters, coats your coils, and degrades the air your family breathes indoors.
Change filters more often in spring
During pollen season, check your filter monthly. A clogged filter chokes airflow, makes the system work harder, and stops protecting your indoor air. A fresh filter is the cheapest air-quality and efficiency upgrade there is.
Keep the coil and ducts clean
Pollen that gets past the filter settles on the evaporator coil and inside ducts, where it cuts efficiency and harbors allergens. Annual coil cleaning and attention to duct condition keep the system breathing freely.
Whole-home air quality options
For allergy-prone households, media air cleaners and whole-home filtration capture far more than a basic filter. Paired with good humidity control, they make a real difference during the worst of pollen season.
