Boost Indoor Air Quality with an Air Purifier

If your indoor air quality is suffering, that means your family is too. You may be getting sick more often or having more serious allergy symptoms. The good news is, you don’t have to continue struggling against poor indoor air quality. There’s a super easy solution, and that’s an air purifier.

These units clear away all sorts of harmful particles so that you can breathe easy. If you’re interested in a whole-house air purifier in Jasper, you can give our team a call to schedule your in-home assessment. You can also keep reading to learn more about how an air purifier works and why a whole-house model is the way to go.

How an Air Purifier Works

All air purifiers have the same goal, and that is eliminating harmful particles from the air you breathe. Different models work in different ways. More traditional air purifiers have a high-quality filter that captures particles and prevents them from passing through as a method of cleaning the air. Other air purifiers use UV light to neutralize harmful particles so they can no longer pose any risks when you breathe them in.

Whole-House Models vs. Portable Units

Air purifiers come in small, portable models that you plug into the wall or whole-house models that fit inside of your existing HVAC system. Portable models are usually only designed to clean the air inside of a small space. They are perfect if you only want to clean the air of a single small room. But they aren’t ideal for improving indoor air quality across an entire home.

A whole-house air purifier gets installed directly inside of your existing HVAC system. They are usually placed right before the ductwork so that all air gets cleaned before blowing the rest of the way into your home. These models work around the clock to clean your air and are out of sight so they don’t get in the way by being plugged in and sat on the floor.

Benefits of a Whole-House Air Purifier

Perhaps the most obvious reason to invest in a whole-house air purifier is to eliminate allergens and viruses. This can prevent you from getting sick and suffering from serious allergy symptoms. Of course, you will still be bombarded with allergens when you leave your house and faced with viruses and bacteria out in the world. But you know that you can breathe easy at home with a whole-house air purifier.

A whole-house air purifier can remove even more harmful particles than just allergens and bacteria. They remove pollution that comes from cars, cleaning chemicals, bad odors from pets and bathrooms, and so much more. Whole-house air purifier can even reduce the likelihood of mold growth happening around your home. With fewer spores in the air, there is less chance of mold spores finding a dark, damp corner to land in and developing into an infestation.
