Did you know that the air inside your home can be of lower quality than the air outside? At least, this is true if you don\u2019t have the right indoor air quality products and services in place. This is especially true if you have a home built in the last few decades, since modern homes are built very \u201ctight\u201d to allow for no conditioned air to escape or heated air to enter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is great news for your cooling and heating efficiency, and will help ensure your energy bills will stay low. But this isn\u2019t great news if you suffer from allergies or asthma. Since no air can get out, this also means that contaminants like pollen, dirt, dust, and pet dander don\u2019t have a way out either. Even the healthiest member of your family can be affected by poor indoor air quality. So what\u2019s the solution? Read on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

No, The HVAC Air Filter Is Not the Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners often assume they\u2019re in good shape with their indoor air quality because their HVAC system has an air filter. But the thing is, that\u2019s not what this air filter is there for. The air filter that comes standard with your heating and cooling systems is there to protect the actual HVAC system from debris and contaminants that can get inside it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This filter is located at the HVAC intake, so any\ncontaminants that are already in the home get sucked toward the air\nconditioning with the hot air from your home\u2014but the contaminants don\u2019t\nactually go anywhere. So, while an HVAC air filter doesn\u2019t hurt <\/em>your indoor air quality, it doesn\u2019t really help that much,\neither. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole-House Air Purification Is <\/em>the\nAnswer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you think about an air purifier or an air filtration system, you may think about a small tabletop unit that you can buy at a hardware store or drugstore. These units certainly aren\u2019t a bad idea for a single room, but you won\u2019t get any significant results from them. Where you\u2019ll really see a change is with a professionally installed whole-house air purifier or air filtration system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why\u2019s that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Cost-Effective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Small, portable air purifiers or air filtration systems can handle a room or two, but this would mean that you\u2019d have to purchase multiple units in order to filter out the air in your whole home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you won\u2019t have to worry about replacing the filters in and maintaining several portable air purifiers or air cleaners. Instead, you only have one system, which is integrated directly into your HVAC system that can be accessed and maintained by our professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Convenient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whole-house air filtration systems and air purifiers can\ntypically be integrated straight into your ductwork or into the HVAC system\nitself, as we mentioned above. This means you\u2019ll never need to worry about\nwasting space with portable units, nor do you have to deal with the noise\nassociated with portable systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, you\u2019ll have uniform air quality in your home, 24\/7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
