Allergies & pollen

Why are my allergies worse at home?

Central Texas makes this question especially common. Cedar, oak, grasses and wind can put a heavy pollen load outdoors, and some of that material comes inside on people, pets and air movement.

What to know

Pollen is only one piece of the indoor picture.

A home can collect outdoor pollen along with dust, pet material and other particles. Filtration matters, but so do cleaning routines, doors and windows, humidity and the way air moves through the house.

Keep high-pollen days outside as much as possible

Close windows and doors when pollen counts are high. Change clothes after extended time outdoors and keep filters on a regular replacement schedule.

Look at the whole home, not just one room

A portable purifier treats the room it is in. A whole-home approach considers filtration and treatment through compatible HVAC equipment, plus other environmental conditions.

Separate home care from medical care

PUR-HOME does not diagnose or treat allergies. Persistent or severe symptoms belong with a healthcare professional.

Not sure what the source is?

That is normal. A consultation starts with what you are noticing, not with a predetermined equipment package.
