Is Your Home Making You Sneeze?

By Paul Bielinski

It’s allergy season. But don’t just blame the pollen for your “achoos,” your home might be one of the culprits. Here are some ways to kiss your gesundheits goodbye.

CHANGE YOUR FILTERS

An easy way to make sure the air in your home remains clean and dust-free is regularly replacing air filters in the home. I change my filters twice a year, when it goes hot to cold and when it goes cold to hot. Some homeowners prefer to change their filters more frequently, and that surely won’t hurt anything but your wallet (those filters can be expensive!). Clean filters = clean air, it’s as simple as that.

CLEAN YOUR AIR DUCTS

Even if you’re the most responsible filter-replacer around, your air ducts will slowly collect dust and buildup over time. Air duct cleaning frequency depends on each household, though most professionals recommend it should be done every 1-2 years. Not only will cleaning out your air ducts improve air quality in your home, but it will help your HVAC system run smoothly, avoiding breakdowns and costly repairs.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR CARPETS

Or get rid of them entirely! We’re going sans carpets in our new home. With two dogs running around hardwood or LVP is so much easier to maintain. If you do have carpeting in your home, make sure that you’re regularly vacuuming, and taking time to do a deep clean every other month. Carpet is warm and soft and wonderful, but will trap dirt, hair, and dust like there’s no tomorrow. So keep on top of your carpet maintenance! Take care of your home, and it will take care of you. And if you’re looking to build a brand new (sneezeless) home, get inspired here.
  • When we rightsized from our home of 43 years to a Bielinski Condo in Bay Pointe, our New Home Consultant answered all of our questions and communicated with us the entire way. We’re fully enjoying our beautiful new home and the condo community.
    John and Jean Jones
  • I’ve been so impressed and completely satisfied with the entire Bielinski building experience. From the initial sale and throughout the construction process I have appreciated Bielinski’s professionalism, craftsmanship, and follow-through.
    Heidi Hamilton
  • We are extremely happy with our new Bielinski Condo. It’s well-built and full of all the features we wanted in our home.
    Deborah and Brian Blackney
  • We chose Bielinski because they are a family-owned business and have been building in the Pewaukee area for a long time. The Clemont floor plan is just perfect for all of our family events and Packer parties.
    Bob and Darla Landgren
  • We couldn’t be happier with our new home! The entire process was fantastic. Everyone was so responsive and quick to help. Bielinski’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable. We recommend Bielinski to anyone looking for their next home.
    Mike and Kristin Smith
  • We had a really good experience with Bielinski from start to finish. Everyone was responsive and reliable. Now we are enjoying life in our new home.
    Peter Holzwart and Therese Gaynor-Holzwart
  • Once I got settled in, I knew I was exactly where I belong. Without Bielinski’s knowledge and communication, I would still be questioning whether I should build at all. Thanks to the entire team that made this all possible.
