Sneezing Every Time You Turn on the AC?

Sneezing Every Time You Turn on the AC? Here's the Solution

Do you find yourself sneezing every time the air conditioning kicks in? While it might seem like a minor inconvenience, this could be a sign that your AC system is circulating irritants such as dust, pollen, or even mold.

Sneezing when you turn on the air conditioning could be due to a few reasons:

Dust and Allergens: Dust, pollen, and other allergens can accumulate in the air conditioning system. When you turn it on, these particles are blown into the air, which can trigger sneezing or other allergic reactions.
Mould and Mildew: If the air conditioning system has any mould or mildew inside, the spores can be released into the air, causing irritation and sneezing.
Dry Air: Air conditioning can dry out the air, which can irritate the nasal passages and cause sneezing.
Cold Air Sensitivity: Some people are sensitive to the cold air produced by the AC, which can cause a reflexive sneezing response.

What You Can Do:

Clean or Replace Filters: Regularly clean or replace the air filters in your AC unit to reduce the buildup of dust and allergens.
Check for Mold: If you suspect mold, it’s important to have the system cleaned professionally.
Use a Humidifier: Adding a humidifier to your room can help balance the moisture levels in the air.
Allergy Medication: Over-the-counter antihistamines can help if you suspect allergies are the cause.

In addition to the suggestions above, it might be a good idea to have your air conditioning system serviced to ensure it’s clean and running efficiently. Call Etcetera Maintenance for a professional AC service to help eliminate any dust, allergens, or mold that could be causing your sneezing.
