Find out how a whole-house air cleaner can combat indoor air pollution and improve the health of your family. An effective air cleaning and filtering system is good for everyone in your family, and adding a whole-house air cleaner to your existing HVAC is worth the investment.

Dear Tom and Leslie: 

A few members of my family are allergy-prone, and I’d like to add air cleaning systems to our home. Are portable air cleaner units okay, or is a whole-house air cleaner a better value?

 

Answer: 

Whole-House Air CleanersAn effective whole house air cleaning system is good for everyone in your family, especially when you consider that, in addition to naming indoor air pollution as one of the top five risks to public health, the EPA has found that indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than the air outside.

Individual air purifiers and ionizers can make a dent here and there, but for more effective results, a whole-house air cleaner is worth the bigger investment. For example, top-ranked Aprilaire Whole-Home Air Cleaners can be installed as part of your home’s HVAC system, and will remove several amazingly tiny, otherwise hard-to-stop contaminants such as pollen, mold spores and harmful bacteria. Look into these smart air quality solutions, and your whole clan will be breathing easier.
