The Asthma & Allergy Friendly Certification Program put together one of the most comprehensive lists of things you can do to "Allergy Proof" your house I have seen. They did a very good job of exploring all aspects of what can be done to improve indoor air quality of your home.
If you are one of the 20 million people in the United States who suffer from Asthma or Allergies I would highly recommend taking the time to read the report. It talks about things that trigger asthma and allergy symptoms, but the report also has a home guide which is a list of actions you can take to make your home a healthier place.
One thing they mention is to add a whole home air cleaner to your HVAC system, which is one of the easiest things you can do to improve your indoor air quality. Another important aspect of managing your asthma and allergy symptoms is controlling humidity in your home. A whole home humidifier and/or a whole home dehumidifier (depending on where you live) are by far the most effective means to controlling your humidity.
Check out this video on why portable air cleaners, and for that matter portable humidifiers and dehumidifiers, are not the answer to effective indoor air quality management.
