3 Benefits Of Air Purifiers You Should Know About
Summer brings the warm weather, outdoor activities and a much-needed break from our Canadian winters. But along with all that goodness can come some challenges: namely, allergies and air pollution. Your air conditioning system can help reduce some of these particles when they enter your home, but they need extra help.
One of the best tools we have to help our customers improve their indoor air quality is the whole-home air purifier. Wondering what the benefits of air purifiers are? Let’s take a look at what this appliance can do for your home.
3 BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A WHOLE-HOME AIR PURIFIER
A whole-home air purifier means more than just having cleaner air. Here are some of the benefits our customers have seen from their air purifiers:
1. Destroys biological material
UV germicidal lights destroy over 99% of contaminants they come into contact with, including bacteria, viruses, and mould and mildew spores.
2. Removes allergens
Air purifiers are produced to strain particles that are very small – as small as 0.3 microns – so particles like pollen, dust, and dirt are effectively captured.
3. Helps with respiratory issues
If someone in your home suffers from a chronic respiratory issue such as asthma or COPD, an air purifier can help remove the irritants that contribute to attacks.
TYPES OF AIR PURIFIERS
There are several types of air purifiers available on the market:
- Air filters – a mechanical air filter is woven very tightly, creating a sieve through which particles can’t pass. This helps to strain out pollen, dirt, dust, and other airborne irritants.
- Electronic purifiers – electronic air purifiers charge particles, then attract those particles to collection plates that are oppositely charged, creating a high capture rate.
- UV germicidal lights – as mentioned above, UV germicidal lights use UV-C light to destroy biological particulates. UV lights achieve this by using the UV-C light to permanently alter the DNA of biological particles, which disables them from reproducing and damages the life sustaining proteins in the cells.
WHY AIR PURIFIERS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MODERN HOMES
Modern homes are built to be energy-efficient and airtight, which, while great for reducing energy costs, can trap indoor pollutants and compromise air quality. Unlike older homes, modern designs often lack natural ventilation, causing contaminants like dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from furnishings, cooking fumes, and allergens to accumulate over time.
With the increasing use of synthetic materials, cleaning products, and home technology, modern homes are exposed to more airborne chemicals than ever before. Air purifiers provide a crucial solution by actively filtering out these harmful particles, ensuring a healthier and more breathable indoor environment tailored to the needs of contemporary living spaces.
