Make Your Home Safe from Allergens

Heating__dreamstime_xl_28529517_2-meSpring will be here in a few short weeks, and with warming temperatures come a host of pollen, dander, and other allergens in the air. This time of year can be very difficult for people suffering from allergies, and unfortunately, there’s little to be done about blooming flowers or similar contaminants. They come every year with the season.

The good news is that there are a host of products that can help clean your indoor air, making your home more comfortable and safer from allergens. If you think you might need some extra protection this spring, it would pay well to look into them.

Types of Indoor Air Quality Products

There are three general types of indoor air cleaners you can purchase. Which one works best for you depends on your circumstances and the precise allergens you wish to address. Most of the time, they can be installed in your existing HVAC system, where they will work in conjunction with the furnace or the air conditioner, depending upon which season it is.

  • Humidifiers. Humidifiers are usually a winter device, designed to reduce the dryness in the air and prevent the spread of dust and germs. They work by blowing a fan across a wick or pad fed by a reservoir, and can help reduce strain on your heating system as well.
  • Electronic Air Purifiers. Most heating and air conditioning units contain a filter designed to strain out dust and allergens. Electronic air purifiers go one step further. Particles in the air are ionized and stick to the walls of a collection plate, ensuring that the system picks up any piece of dust, no matter how small, and removes it from circulation in your home.
  • UV Air Purifiers. UV stand for “ultraviolet,” and UV lights, while harmless to humans and pets, are lethal to germs and other biological contaminants. UV lights placed at the apex to your ducts can cycle through the air as your heater or air conditioner runs. That keeps your home free of germs and contaminants, removing the dangers posed by those contaminants.

Homes That Benefit

Every home can benefit from reduced allergens, and obviously if someone in your household suffers from allergies, then devices such as these are almost a necessity. We also recommend them for homes that are about to welcome a new infant, or for homes that have one or more elderly residents. These family members are more vulnerable to allergens, and benefit from the added protection an indoor air quality product brings.

Why Now?

Spring isn’t far away, but we still have a few weeks of winter left, which gives you time to weigh your options and schedule an installation with due consideration. It also means your new IAQ product will be in place and ready to go by the time the first bloom arrives, allowing you to enjoy a whole season with far fewer allergy attacks than in previous years.
