If you want a truly clean, healthy home this spring, you need to do spring cleaning on more than just the surfaces in your home. The air your breathe day in and day out may be dirtier than any forgotten corner in your home. Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that most homes have five times the pollutants in the air than outdoor air? It is time to spring clean the air in your home with a new air filtration system.

Improve the Air Quality in Your Home

Most homes have a plethora of contaminants that can be hiding in the air, from dust and mold to pet dander and chemicals. For many people with allergies or respiratory problems, these elements can cause serious health problems. The best way to reduce these contaminants and produce clean, healthy air in your home is to install a whole home air filtration system.

Although most HVAC systems have some filtering included to clean the air, these filters are not the same as an air filtration and purification system. With a professional system, even the tiniest particles can be removed from the air, including bacteria, viruses and mold. Not only is the air healthier to breathe, it will also be fresher and odor-free, improving the overall air quality in your home.

This spring, do a real spring cleaning on your home with the installation of a new air filtration and purification system. Many systems can be used in conjunction with your HVAC system or as separate units. Talk to your local HVAC service provider about the best options available for your home.

When it comes to air filtration and purification, there are lots of options available to homeowners. There are portable single-room air purifiers, special air filters to replace your standard furnace filter and then the option of have a whole-house air cleaner installed in your HVAC system. 

Single Room Purifiers

If you do not have a forced air furnace system in your home, single-room air purifiers are your only real option. These can be moved from room to room or you can purchase multiple units to filter and clean the air throughout your home. You will find some of these air purifiers use a HEPA filter and some do not. The HEPA filter types are definitely the preferable models. The filters for most of these portable purifiers need to be replaced annually, though some can be cleaned. The cost of the replacement filters can be significant and should be taken into consideration if making a comparison between a portable model and a whole house system. 

Whole-house Air Filters

These are special filters to use in place of your standard furnace filters. They are considerably more expensive than a standard furnace filter. The filters must be replaced every few months, just as you would your standard furnace filter. Although they may provide some improvement to the air quality in your home, according to Consumer Reports, they are not near as affective as a built-in air cleaning unit or the portable room purifiers. 

Built-in Whole-house Air Cleaners

Although the most expensive option, this is also the most affective means of removing dust, smoke, pollen and other allergens from the air in your home. They must be installed in your home’s ductwork by a heating professional and also wired into your homes electrical system.
