How Can Air Purifiers Make Your Home More Comfortable and Safe?
You spend a lot of time in your home. Montana homeowners specifically have plenty of reasons to close everything down and nest. Between the long, cold winters and wildfire season, many people in the area spend much of the year inside their homes.
Sealing up your home is a double-edged sword; you’re retaining heat and preventing new airborne particles from entering. But you’re also trapping any existing pollutants inside, where they cycle through the air, making it stale and uncomfortable.
The quality of the air you breathe is important. That doesn’t change just because it’s a different time of year. Learn how air purifiers remove contaminants to create a happier and healthier home.
Do Air Purifiers Help with Allergies and Asthma?
Yes, air purifiers have a good record of reducing allergy and asthma symptoms. The purifiers capture the particles you’d typically associate with respiratory problems, like pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. Surprisingly, indoor air quality can often be worse than outdoor air, and the standard filter in your furnace won’t always cut it.
Air purification scrubs these microscopic irritants out of the air. The high-efficiency HEPA filters trap even the tiniest particles, preventing them from entering your lungs and affecting your respiratory health.
Can a Home Purifier Remove Bad Odors?
A high-quality air purifier with activated carbon filters can neutralize many common household odors. Spraying chemicals or burning candles are temporary fixes that don’t solve the core problem and add to indoor air pollution.
Air purifier systems eliminate the source of the smell, many of which result from volatile organic compounds that can be bad for your health, on top of making your house smell unpleasant.
You don’t always notice the smell either; homeowners often get used to scents in their homes. Having an air purifier prevents you from dealing with frustrating pet or cooking smells, whether you have a nose for them or not.
Whole-House Purifiers vs. Portable Units
Portable units work similarly to whole-house air purifiers. They can even have HEPA filters to clean the air in a room. But they only work in one room in your home. It’s more of a spot treatment than a long-term solution.
Getting multiple portable units is a workaround for this, but it just means even more maintenance is necessary to keep your home comfortable.
Whole-house purifiers clean the air in every room via your HVAC ductwork. This guarantees consistent air quality without moving an appliance from one place to the next. These dedicated home air purifiers integrate directly with your HVAC unit. Every time you run your system, the purifier will operate quietly in the background.
