Is Your HVAC System Making You Sick? Consider Investing in an Air Purifier!

At this point in the winter, your HVAC system has been working hard to keep your home warm. As a result, it also collects dust particles and germs that are then dispersed into your home. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollutants are five times higher than outdoor levels! Since we spend more time indoors this time of year, we could be breathing in these pollutants. While you can’t see these tiny particles, they could affect you and your family. Do you sneeze or cough when you enter your home? Does your throat get sore? Do you experience recurring headaches? If you said yes to any of these questions, you might want to look into cleaning or replacing your system’s air filters. In addition, you can also invest in an air purification system to help cleanse the air inside your home. What is an air purifier? Air purifiers or air cleaners are devices that remove contaminants from the air and improve the overall air quality in your home. These devices are generally mounted in your existing ductwork and use the system fan to pull in and filter or sanitize the air before your

system disperses it back into your home. Air purifiers can also filter human or pet hair and eliminate odors, which helps those with allergies or asthma. Do air purifiers actually clean the air and prevent sickness? Air cleaners can purify the air you breathe and help reduce the likelihood of some illnesses. Purifying your indoor air also reduces allergic reactions and minimizes respiratory irritations. It can even help you sleep more soundly since it allows you to breathe more easily. What else can you do to improve your home’s air quality? Replacing your HVAC filter regularly is one of the most effective and simplest ways to improve the air quality in your home. Your filter is your home's first line of defense when it comes to removing dust, germs, and other particles from the air. The quality of the air you breathe affects your health— and that’s important to us! If you’re ready to take the next step to improve your home’s air quality, call Aire Serv of the Mid-Hudson Valley today.
