Why Your Home Needs an Air Filtration System

Air Conditioning System

Homes are built much tighter now than in previous eras, meaning we do not experience a lot of air leaks in or out. News homes don’t experience the “drafty room” label of yesteryear. The down side to this efficiency, however, is that our homes can become a petri dish for bacteria and viruses, making family members, particularly those who suffer from allergies or asthma, sick. Home air filtration systems are an easy and economical solution to boost the indoor air quality of your home, making sure the air you breathe is clean and free of particles including pollen, pet dander, dust mites, bio-aerosols and dirt.

Sealing Bad Air In

A house with a too-tight envelope can actually seal bad air inside. Whole-home air filtration systems are an economical solution and universal in that they can be connected to virtually any HVAC system.

 

How Air Purifiers Work

Air purifying systems utilize fans to pull the air in your home through filters that remove harmful particles including bacteria, dust and pollen.

 

Benefits of air purifiers:

  • Combat seasonal allergies.
  • Stop sickness from spreading to your family.
  • Neutralize smoke from wood stoves and even smoking.
  • Remove unpleasant odors.
  • Trap dust and airborne allergens from pets.
