Why Your Home Needs an Air Purifier

Let’s Get Down to the Nitty-Gritty of Why Your Home Needs an Air Purifier

The Webster Dictionary definition of an air purifier is “a device that removes contaminating particles (such as dust, pollen, and dander) from the air.” Air purifiers suck the air in your home through a filter system that removes airborne particles. The air purifier then blows through a fan to circulate the purified air back into the room. There are two different options you can choose from, a mobile device that all you have to do is plug in and wash the filter regularly or a whole house system that an HVAC professional from Hubbard Heating and Plumbing, Inc. would have to install. 

According to the E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency), indoor air may be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. With people spending up to 90 percent more time indoors, indoor air quality is a huge concern. Air purifiers assist in removing impurities in the air we breathe, such as: 

 

  • Dust
  • Smoke
  • Pollen
  • Pet Dander
  • Mold Spores
  • Chemical Fumes

Most people are unaware of or ignore the importance of breathing clean, fresh air, as well. Do you or a family member live with the following?

Asthma: An asthma air purifier contains an added odor and chemical filtration as well as HEPA filters for allergen particle removal.

 

Chemical Sensitivities: An chemical air purifier contains a heavy odor and chemical filter.
