Air purifiers are effective at improving the air quality inside your home. Our air quality HVAC professionals actually recommend using air purifiers to help people suffering from common respiratory irritation and problems such as asthma and allergies. They can be particularly helpful in the spring season, as pollen, dust and other particles are more likely to trigger an asthma attack or allergic reaction.
There are many different types of air purification systems, and the one you choose will depend on what you want it to do. For example, air purifiers that focus on eliminating odors and smells will have charcoal and activated carbon filters. Some air purifiers even have HEPA filters that are 99.7% effective at cleaning the air inside your home. Here are a few more reasons why our experts at Air Quality Heating & Air Conditioning think you should install an air purifier this spring.
Keeps your family healthy. Both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and our HVAC specialists at Air Quality Heating and Air Conditioning say that indoor air is actually 10 times “dirtier” than outdoor air. While there are certainly more pollutants outside, they’re largely kept at bay by air circulation. Indoors, where air circulation depends on your HVAC system, the pollutants can remain in the air for longer. Installing an air purifier helps protect your family against these pollutants and the problems they can cause.
Protects against allergens. Allergies can be caused by different things, but the most common triggers are pollen, dander and dust. An air purifier helps eliminate these contaminants from your home. For people with extremely sensitive respiratory conditions, HEPA filters can help improve your indoor air quality substantially, even during high risk seasons like spring and summer.
Eliminates bad odors. Cooking certain foods, neglecting furnace repair on a malfunctioning furnace and smoking indoors can create bad smells inside your home. An air purifier with a charcoal or activated carbon air filter is effective at completely absorbing these bad smells, leaving your interior smelling nice and fresh for longer.
