Just because it looks clean doesn’t mean it is clean!
Remember when you were a kid and you “cleaned” your room by shoving your dirty clothes and toys in the closet and sweeping the dirt under the rug? The room looked clean, but it wasn’t. The mess was there; you just couldn’t see it.
The same is true about the air inside our home. We cannot see the mess that is in our air so we assume it’s clean. But in reality, the air in our homes contains pollutants and particles that can be harmful to our bodies.
What invisible or near-invisible things are dirtying the air in your home?
- Tobacco smoke. Even if you don’t smoke in your home, but you smoke outside of the home, the smoke clings to your clothing and hair. When you enter your home, the smoke comes with you and dirties the air that your family breathes.
- Bacteria and fungi
- Viruses and small particles. Especially now that the kiddos are back in school, all sorts of germs are being brought home.
- Regular vacuuming and dusting can reduce the total amount of dust in your home, but more often than not, those same chores simply kick the dust that was at rest back into the active air system.
- Pet Dander. Many pet owners are allergic to their furry friends or have a family member who is.
- Mold
- Pollen
All of these particles clogging up the air in your home can trigger allergies, asthma, respiratory problems and even problems for your HVAC. But the particles are so small, you cannot clean the air the same way you clean the rest of your home.
Another way to create the healthiest air possible is by installing a humidifier on your furnace. By adding the right amount of moisture into the air, you can help reduce allergens, ease asthma and cut static electricity. You may even be able to lower the temperature in your home a few degrees by adding warm humidity to the air. A furnace humidifier can save you money AND provide health benefits.
Some families use portable air filtration units or room humidifiers. But these require time-consuming cleaning. Plus, the constant moving of the unit from room to room means your whole house is never all clean or at the correct humidity at the same time.
What if there was a way to clean all the air in your whole home at the same time without complicated cleaning methods?
There is a way!
You can install a Whole-Home Air Purifier Filtration System for your home. Unlike portable air filter units that only filter one small room at a time and require you to go through a complicated cleaning process, whole house air purifiers work to clean all the air in the home at once. And their stress-free design only requires a quick and easy wipe down and filter replacement every so often. In addition to cleaning the air in the home, it keeps your HVAC system clean and functioning at its best.
