There is a fairly common misconception about the air filter that comes standard in HVAC systems. That is, this air filter is in place to protect the indoor air quality of the house. It\u2019s actually not intended for this purpose at all! We\u2019ll get more into that below, but our point is, if you truly want to tackle indoor air quality problems\u2014especially those that cause allergy and asthma symptoms throughout the household\u2014you\u2019ll want to invest in a whole-house air filtration system and\/or whole-house air purifier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you\nshould know is that a huge reason more and more homeowners are investing in\nthese systems is due to the way they mitigate virus transmission. No indoor air\nquality product can guarantee 100% protection from germ and virus transmission,\nbut they can absolutely mitigate the risks you may face. Read on to learn more\nabout whole-house air filtration and purification!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Your HVAC Air Filter Isn\u2019t Enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of homeowners out there who believe their standard HVAC system air filter is enough to protect their indoor air quality. This is just not the case, unfortunately. Sure, they don\u2019t do anything to hurt <\/em>your indoor air quality, and may help a little big since they do <\/em>draw in dust, dirt and debris from the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But like we said above, this protects your HVAC system, not\nyour indoor air. It\u2019s a very important component, but if you want a healthier\nhome, you\u2019ll want to consider a whole-home air filtration system or air\npurifier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Whole-House Air Purifiers Unique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you hear the term \u201cair purifier,\u201d what do you envision? Perhaps it\u2019s a little robot-type appliance sitting on top of your dresser or on the floor. These are air purifiers, but portable <\/em>air purifiers, and they\u2019re not effective for much else than a single bedroom or very small studio apartment. They won\u2019t give you significant results if you have a home any larger than that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, you should consider having a whole-house electronic\nair purifier and\/or a UV air purifier installed, each of which have a number of\nbenefits. The electronic system draws dust, dirt, and viral particles from the\nair, while the UV air purifier is installed in the ductwork and kills the\nsource of viruses and bacteria before it even has the opportunity to enter your\nair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole-House Systems Are Cost Efficienct<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned above, portable air purifiers are really only effective for the one room that they\u2019re installed in. So that would mean for a four-bedroom house you\u2019d need up to six (one for each bedroom, one for the kitchen\/dining area, and one for the living room) to adequately address your indoor air quality needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means replacing the filters in six different systems, and listening to the noise associated with each one, too. Whereas with a whole-house system, the unit can be installed right inside your ductwork, where it\u2019s much quieter and has fewer maintenance needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
