Winter is finally over and spring is on the way. With the change in seasons, we move away from worrying about the cold and keeping our heating systems running, to allergy season and how to survive the day to day dilemma of itchy eyes and runny noses.

We here at Simmons can only sympathize with your plight with dealing with allergies while outdoors and leave what ever help you may find to your doctor. When it comes to helping you find relief and comfort indoors we are more than qualified to offer both advice and solutions to this seasonal issue.
It may not at first seem obvious but it is a fact that the indoor air quality in your home or office can be worse than the air outside. This is because the allergens that are present outside this time of year are also inside. Add to this the indoor particles caused by mold, pet dander, dust mites and fumes from appliances such as water heaters or ovens and you can see why the air inside can potentially be worse. Also it is worth mentioning that these irritants, unlike the seasonal variety outside, can be present year round.
Unlike the outdoor air quality, however, there is plenty that can be done to control the quality of air inside. There are many appliances and systems around your home or office that we at Simmons are qualified to maintain and repair. There are some steps, however, that you can take yourself to improve the air quality in your home

- Add houseplants - One Houseplant for every 100 square feet of indoor living space will greatly increase the quality of the air in your home.
- Do not smoke indoors - This one should go without saying but still good advice.
- Fight against dust-mites - Clean bedding frequently(at least weekly), keep pets off of furniture.
- Check your Radon Level - The EPA can provide you with a do-it-yourself testing kit. For more information you can find the kit here.
For anything that requires professional assistance give us a call. We can help with everything. Cleaning out the gas jets of your gas oven, will cut down on the fumes that may cause poor air quality. Or we can install a complete ventilation or indoor air quality system. Give us a call or contact us and we will be happy to help you enjoy the bright warm weather ahead.
