Early spring in Houston brings warmer days, blooming trees… and for many families, relentless allergy symptoms.
If you or your kids are dealing with sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, sinus pressure, or fatigue, you may be experiencing Texas Cedar Fever. And while most homeowners blame the outdoors, the real battle is often happening inside the home.
At AIRTEAM LTD, we help Houston families take control of their indoor air quality so they can breathe easier — even during peak allergy season.
Why Cedar Fever Feels Worse Inside Your Home
Houston homeowners want their homes to feel safe and comfortable. But during early Texas spring, cedar pollen levels spike quickly. That pollen enters your home through:
- Door openings
- Windows
- Clothing and pets
- Small air leaks in ductwork
Once inside, your HVAC system begins circulating those allergens repeatedly.
If your system isn’t designed to filter and purify the air properly, it becomes part of the problem.
Add Houston’s high humidity levels, and you create the perfect environment for mold spores and airborne irritants to multiply.
The result? Your family never gets relief — even indoors.
Waiting only allows allergens to continue building up in your system.
The AIRTEAM 3-Step Indoor Air Quality Plan
We believe homeowners deserve solutions — not guesswork. Here’s how we help protect your home during cedar season.
Step 1: Upgrade Your HVAC Filter System
Most builder-grade HVAC systems use low-efficiency filters designed to protect equipment — not your family’s health.
Upgrading to a properly fitted, higher-efficiency filtration system can help capture:
- Cedar pollen
- Pet dander
- Dust mites
- Mold spores
- Fine airborne particles
The key is balance. Too restrictive, and airflow suffers. Too weak, and allergens pass through.
Our technicians evaluate your system and recommend the correct filtration upgrade so you improve air quality without reducing performance.
Step 2: Install UV Air Purification
Houston’s humidity creates condensation inside HVAC coils — a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
UV purification systems are installed inside your HVAC unit and work continuously to:
- Kill mold growth on coils
- Reduce airborne bacteria
- Minimize musty odors
- Improve system cleanliness
This technology is especially helpful for families with asthma, allergies, or recurring sinus issues.
Cleaner coils also improve system efficiency — which is an added bonus heading into cooling season.
Step 3: Professional Duct Cleaning
Over time, ductwork collects:
- Pollen buildup
- Pet hair
- Construction debris
- Dust accumulation
Every time your system runs, it can redistribute those contaminants throughout your home.
Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, improving airflow and reducing circulating allergens.
For homes over 10 years old or families who have recently renovated, this step can make a noticeable difference.
2026 Houston Allergy Outlook
In recent years, Texas allergy seasons have started earlier and lasted longer due to weather shifts and warming patterns.
That means indoor air quality upgrades are no longer a luxury — they’re essential.
Sealed homes designed for energy efficiency trap allergens more effectively than older homes. Without proper filtration and purification, families may feel symptoms year-round.
Taking action early in the season can prevent months of discomfort.
