How an Air Purifier Works
Whole-house air purifiers have an air filter, a UV light, or a combination of both. Air either passes through the HEPA filter so that particles can be captured from the air or under a UV light where they get neutralized. Some systems combine these two options together to further maximize your indoor air quality.
Whole-house models get installed directly inside of your HVAC system where all of the air passes by before entering your ductwork. This ensures that all of the air blowing out into your home is more than 99% free from harmful particles.
Health Benefits
One of the primary reasons that people invest in whole-house air purifiers is for the health benefits. Air purifiers are great for so many reasons when it comes to improving your health. If you suffer from severe allergies, a whole-house air purifier can give you relief when you’re at home. Being able to breathe easy and relax in the comfort of your home is huge and an air purifier helps you do just that.
Plus, it filters out germs and bacteria that get you sick. You’re still going to continue bringing in germs and bacteria and all allergens from outside, but your air purifier will be at work around the clock to eliminate these particles from the air so you aren’t constantly being bombarded.
When you can breathe easier, you also sleep better. Your body isn’t constantly on the attack, battling allergens and bacteria that are negatively impacting your sinuses and your overall health. With lower inflammation and less inflammation in your sinus passages, your body can rest and so can your mind. Sleeping better helps you in nearly all aspects of your life.
HVAC Benefits
A whole-house air purifier also helps your HVAC system. By eliminating harmful particles in the air, you’re also going to have better overall airflow. Without an air purifier, tiny particles of dust and debris settle inside of your ductwork, slowly building up over time to form a layer that gets stirred up when clean air blows through the system.
When the dust starts up, it interferes with airflow. Without a smooth flow of air moving through the ducts, more heated and cooled air will get trapped instead of blowing out into your home. Clean air also means less dust getting into your HVAC system as well.
Tiny dust particles can get in between bearings and gears to dry up lubrication and hurt efficient operation. You aren’t just protecting your health, you’re also protecting your HVAC system so it can operate more effectively.
