Insulation is your home’s main defense against outside allergens. Without proper insulation, the smallest particles of dust, pollen, and other allergens can easily enter your home, irritating conditions like seasonal allergies and asthma. As we enter the spring season, it’s important to ensure that your home is properly insulated to keep these allergens outside.
Upgrading your home’s insulation can protect your family from spring allergens, and thanks to the Mass Save® Program, these upgrades may be more affordable than you think.
Can Pollen & Airborne Allergens Get Through the Walls of Your Home?
If not properly sealed, small particles such as pollen and dust can enter your home through cracks, gaps, and walls. These particles can then circulate throughout your home and cause allergic reactions for those who are sensitive.
Some common areas where allergens can enter include:
- Doors and windows that are not properly sealed
- Gaps around electrical outlets or light switches
- Cracks in the foundation or walls
- Outdated insulation
- HVAC systems that are not properly maintained or have poor filtration
How Can New Insulation Help?
Upgrading your home’s insulation can help prevent allergens from entering by creating a barrier between the outside and inside of your home. Proper air sealing fills any gaps or cracks around doors and windows, keeping allergens out. Additionally, new insulation can improve the overall air quality in your home by reducing drafts and improving ventilation. This means that airborne allergens have less opportunity to move through your home.
