Is your home’s air actually clean this fall? Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air — and when fall allergies strike, that can make our homes feel less comfortable. As we start spending more time indoors, stale air, humidity issues, and dirty ducts can all make breathing harder.

That’s where regular HVAC maintenance comes in. At Red Dragon Heating and Cooling, we know how important clean, healthy air is for families. Our services help reduce allergens, control humidity, and improve overall comfort so you can breathe easier.

In this blog, we’ll share how to keep your indoor air fresh this fall by focusing on filters, humidity, ducts, air purifiers, and regular system care.

Change Filters Regularly

The simplest way to protect indoor air quality is by replacing your HVAC filters every 1–3 months. Dirty filters can no longer trap dust, pollen, and pet dander effectively, letting them circulate throughout your home.

Control Humidity Levels

Fall weather can create swings in indoor humidity. Keeping moisture balanced between 30–50% helps prevent mold growth and dry air that irritates sinuses. A whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier can make this process effortless and keep your air healthier.

Clean and Seal Your Ducts

Over time, ducts can collect dust, pollen, and even mold, which then spreads to every room. Professional duct cleaning and proper duct sealing help reduce allergens and improve efficiency. If your home has older ductwork, new ductwork installation might be worth considering for better airflow.

Use Air Purifiers Strategically

Portable or whole-home air purifiers can filter out particles that standard HVAC filters miss, especially during peak allergy season. They work well alongside zoning installation, which allows you to control air quality room by room for maximum comfort.

Don’t Skip HVAC Maintenance

A professional HVAC tune-up ensures your system is running efficiently and not contributing to poor air quality. This includes checking for leaks, cleaning coils, and making sure the system is circulating air properly.
