It's summertime, and everybody is turning on the AC. But have you noticed some new symptoms since you turned yours on? Your air conditioner could be making you sick.

Your air conditioner not only cools your home, it circulates air around your home. If your air quality is poor, your air conditioner will circulate the unclean air around your home.

Here are some causes of poor air quality:

• Pet dander. If you have pets, dander can build up over time and circulate through your house via the air conditioner. Particularly if you have a pet allergy, this can irritate your eyes, nose, and lungs.
• Mold. Mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, such as irritation of the eyes, nose, lungs, and throat. In people with asthma, it can also cause asthma attacks. Mold is one of the most common causes of poor air quality. Since it can damage your home and your health, you should pay extra attention to possible mold in your home.
• Dust. While it might sound simple, a buildup of dust can cause allergy symptoms, especially if you're allergic.

Can Professional Services Help?

If you have unexplained allergy symptoms, you should call a professional. An air quality test can narrow down the cause, whether it's mold, dust, or dander. Once you know the cause of your poor air quality, you can address it. If the air quality test detects mold, you should call a mold remediation professional to entirely remove the mold from your home. If the test detects dust or dander, you can look for pet dander removal services and start using HEPA filters in your home..
