Are you concerned about the air you and your family breathe inside your home? Do you (or your family) experience allergies or asthma? You're not alone. Pollutants like dust, pollen, viruses, cigarette smoke, mold spores, pet dander, and chemicals found in household cleaning fluids can make breathing unpleasant and trigger allergies, asthma attacks, and other respiratory issues. There are air purification (and filtration) solutions for almost any budget. Options to consider to ensure you are breathing clean air in your home include the following:
High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters
One of the first options to improve the air quality is to use a HEPA filter. These are denser filters that do a better job at removing smaller particles that circulate in HVAC ductwork. You have a choice from a variety of different HEPA filters available to purchase that are effective at removing airborne contaminants. However, it can also be difficult to know exactly how well a HEPA filter works and if it has any positive effects on the air quality in your home.
Electrostatic HVAC Air Filtration
Another option to consider for air purification is an electrostatic air filter. These are specially designed filters that remove smaller particles and contamination in the air that passes through them. They are common cleanable air filters that are used in residential HVAC systems. If you choose to use an electrostatic air filter, you might want to consider options like UV air purification too.
Activated Charcoal
Sometimes, the conventional air filters are not enough to remove all the particles in the air you breathe. Therefore, the air needs to flow through a system that provides a better solution to remove contamination. Often, this is done through systems that use a catch device to trap the particles. One of the options for this type of system is an activated charcoal air filtration solution, which will remove most of the common pollutants that circulate through HVAC systems.
Ozone Generators and other Air Purification Technology
Air purification technology has also improved, and there are options like ozone generators. These are special devices that are installed with your HVAC system to generate ozone gases and improve the air quality in your home. There are also technologies that remove and trap particles. These air purification solutions are a good choice for areas with high levels of outdoor pollution.
