You probably don’t give much thought to the air quality inside of your home. Your air conditioner has a filter that removes a lot of dust and dirt, and as far as you know your indoor air quality is just fine. But is it really?

You can keep reading to learn more about what’s in your air and why you need to schedule an appointment for air purifier services.
Indoor Air Quality
As you look around your home, you probably don’t think about it but you were looking at air. You don’t see any of the microscopic particles floating around, so you’re probably not too worried about your indoor air quality. But there are millions of microscopic particles floating through your air every day. These particles include smells, pollution from outside, viruses, bacteria, and other germs.
Every time you leave your home, you bring back various pollutants and germs with you. These particles then enter your air and recirculate through your air conditioning system. Even though you have an air filter, these particles are small enough to squeeze through and recirculate repeatedly.
You continue bringing more of these particles with you as old ones continue to recirculate. Eventually, your indoor air quality becomes highly polluted. Experts estimate that it may even be up to five times as polluted as the outdoor air. Sure, you can open windows and doors in an effort to allow fresh air in, but there’s also an easier way.
Benefits of a Whole House Air Purifier
A whole house air purifier gets installed inside of your air conditioning system at a point where all of the airflow has to pass by. If you have an air purifier with a HEPA filter, it captures 99% of these particles and prevents them from recirculating through your air. If you have an air purifier with UV light, 99% of the particles get deactivated, so they are no longer harmful.
Either way, the result is better indoor air quality. You no longer have to worry about viruses, bacteria, germs, and even allergens. Pet dander, bad odors, and pollution from the outside world all get eliminated. You can breathe easier, get sick less often, and experience fewer allergy symptoms.
