When Will Cottonwood Fibers Stop Floating in the Air in Indiana?
As residents of Indiana, we’re all too familiar with the annual arrival of cottonwood fibers, those fluffy, white seeds that seem to take over the air every late spring to early summer. While these seeds are a natural part of the season, they can be a nuisance, especially for those with allergies and homeowners with HVAC systems.
When to Expect a Break from Cottonwood Fibers
In Indiana, cottonwood trees typically release their seeds from late May through June. The duration of this period can vary based on local weather conditions, such as temperature and rainfall. Generally, by late June or early July, you’ll notice a significant reduction in the amount of cottonwood fluff floating around.
Why Cottonwood Fibers are a Concern for Your HVAC System
Cottonwood fibers can cause significant issues for your HVAC system. They are notorious for clogging air filters, coating condenser coils, and reducing overall system efficiency. When your HVAC system is compromised, it works harder to maintain the desired indoor temperature, leading to increased energy bills and potential system breakdowns.
