Breathe A Sigh of Relief!

As the focus on greener living, reducing energy consumption and minimizing our carbon footprint has grown in popularity over the last few years, it has also brought to light a need for healthier indoor-air quality. The green living movement has shed light on the impurities lurking indoors and the need for whole-house air cleaners in today’s homes. Air cleaning devices are able to remove many pollutants from indoor air and improve the quality of the air we breathe. Air cleaning devices which are designed to be installed in the ductwork of a home’s central heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system clean the air in the whole house; thus the name, whole-house air cleaners!

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollutants are among the top five environmental health risks to people to date, due to the harmful materials they contain. The EPA breaks down pollutants that can affect air quality in a home into the following two categories:

• Particulate matter which includes dust, smoke, pollen, animal dander, tobacco smoke, particles generated from combustion appliances such as cooking stoves, and particles associated with tiny organisms such as dust mites, molds, bacteria, and viruses.

• Gaseous pollutants which come from combustion processes. Sources include gas cooking stoves, vehicle exhaust, and tobacco smoke. They also come from building materials, furnishings, and the use of products such as adhesives, paints, varnishes, cleaning products, and pesticides which are VOCs (volatile organic compounds).  

Whole-house air cleaners are the most efficient way to remove harmful particulate and gaseous pollutants from large indoor spaces, especially those with cathedral ceilings. Another advantage to whole-house air cleaners is they help protect your central heat and air equipment from damage caused by fine particle buildup, reduce future repair costs, help extend equipment life and even decrease the amount of settling dust in your home. Who doesn't want to breathe easier and dust less?
