Florida’s Treasure Coast is paradise — sunshine, sea breezes, and year-round warmth. But for many homeowners, that warm, humid air also brings something less pleasant: allergens.
Whether it’s pollen from our coastal plants, dust, or mold spores from high humidity, your air conditioning system plays a huge role in keeping your indoor air clean and healthy.
Here are five simple ways your AC can help you breathe easier all year long.
1. Change Your Air Filters Regularly
Your AC’s first line of defense against allergens is its air filter. A clean filter traps dust, pet dander, and pollen — but when it gets clogged, those same particles circulate through your home.
👉 Tip: Replace standard filters every 1–2 months, or upgrade to a high-efficiency pleated filter to capture smaller particles.
If you have pets (like our golden retriever mascot, Comfort 🐾), consider changing them even more often.
2. Control Humidity Levels
The Treasure Coast is known for its humidity, but excessive moisture inside your home is an open invitation for mold and dust mites.
A properly functioning AC system helps regulate humidity, but sometimes an added dehumidifier makes all the difference. Seacoast Air Conditioning can install whole-home humidity control systems that keep your levels ideal — around 45–50%.
3. Schedule Regular AC Maintenance
Routine maintenance keeps your AC running efficiently — and keeps allergens from sneaking in. During a tune-up, a Seacoast technician will:
- Clean coils and drain lines (where mold can grow)
- Check filters and airflow
- Ensure your system is circulating clean, fresh air
Preventive maintenance means fewer breakdowns, lower bills, and a healthier home environment.
4. Consider an Air Purification System
For families with allergies, asthma, or pets, an air purifier can be a game-changer. Advanced systems — such as UV light air cleaners or HEPA filtration units — can neutralize bacteria, mold spores, and even viruses that standard filters can’t catch.
Ask our experts about integrating an air purification system directly into your HVAC setup.
