In the meantime, keep reading to learn more about the ways a whole-house air purifier can benefit your family now and into the future.
The Winter Season
As temperatures dip lower, you are more likely to keep your home closed up and stay inside. Everyone just wants to be warm and comfortable when it is cold outside, but this means sacrificing fresh air. When your home is well sealed, heat stays in. However, fresh air stays out at the same time.
Bacteria and allergen levels can increase due to a lack of ventilation. You’re constantly bringing new contaminants home with you while they re-circulate again and again. In fact, experts estimate that it’s possible for your indoor air quality to be as much is five times worse than the outdoor air quality.
This is the reason that a whole-house air purifier is beneficial in the winter season. You’ve probably heard how you are more likely to get sick during the winter. This is largely because of bacteria and germs getting trapped so that you are exposed to them in higher quantities.
The Whole-House Difference
A whole house air purifier helps to keep you and your family healthier all year round, but especially in the winter season. When you invest in a whole-house air purifier, we install the system inside of your HVAC unit where it is out of sight and can clean one hundred percent of the air passing through.
You won’t have to worry about moving a small, portable air purifier from room to room or remembering to turn the unit on. A whole-house model is working around the clock all year long. When it first gets installed, it can take the better part of a day to fully clean the air in your home. From there, a whole-house air purifier will help to maintain that high level of indoor air quality around the clock.
The only maintenance you will have to think about is changing out the filter or UV light annually. And really, this isn’t even something you need to do yourself. It’s a part of regular AC maintenance and we will get it done during your annual service appointment.
Additional Benefits
An air purifier may help save money on your energy costs for heating and cooling. With fewer miscellaneous particles in the air passing through ductwork, airflow is more streamlined. Less heated and cooled air will get trapped in the ductwork, with more of it reaching the walls of your home.
Your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard, consuming less energy and saving you money. You may also be able to extend the time in between duct cleaning appointments.
