Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes blooming flowers, warmer weather…and allergy season! For many people, spring brings a surge in allergy symptoms caused by pollen, dust mites, and other airborne irritants. But what if you could take control of your home’s air quality and breathe easier all year?
Your home’s indoor air quality plays a crucial role in keeping your home safe and comfortable, especially during allergy season. Every home is bound to have some level of pollutants, but with the right equipment, you can significantly reduce the amount of allergens and irritants circulating in your air supply.
In addition to worsening allergy and asthma symptoms, pollutants in your home’s air supply can lead to increased illnesses. In this blog post from Edwards Royal Comfort, we’ll discuss how air purification systems work and how installing a whole-house air purifier before allergy season hits can help to make your home safer and more comfortable than ever before.
How Do Whole House Air Purification Systems Work?
Whole home air purifiers are designed to clean a home’s air by removing pollutants and contaminants from the air supply, such as mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, and pollen – the very things that trigger allergies! These systems are attached directly to your home’s HVAC unit and are responsible for filtering out any particulate matter that could otherwise lower your home’s level of air quality.
If a whole house air purifier is installed, any heated or cooled air passes through the system before the air is moved through the HVAC system and out of the vents. Your HVAC system has an existing air filter built into the system. Still, an air purification system acts as another layer of protection to keep as many pollutants and contaminants out of your air as possible.
Multiple types of air purification system filters exist, so it’s important to discuss your needs with an HVAC technician to receive the equipment that will best meet your family’s needs and target your specific allergy triggers.
Do Whole House Air Purifiers Help?
Believe it or not, the air inside your home can actually be more polluted than the outdoors! Studies have shown there are likely two to five times more air pollutants in your home than outside. A whole-house air purifier is a great step to keep your home free of contaminants, especially allergens.
When you install a HEPA filter, over 99.7% of particulate matter up to .3 microns can be removed entirely and eliminated. This can significantly reduce allergy and asthma symptoms for homeowners in Greencastle, Crawfordsville, Danville, and beyond.
