It’s beneficial to own air purifiers for your Oakville, MO, home. While you may already have a few of those portable models that you can move from one room to another, a whole-house unit is ideal.
This will remove particulate matter like dust, dust mites, mold spores, and pollen from the air that passes through your HVAC system and into your living spaces. We also recommend that you keep your relative humidity between 35% and 50% to help prevent the growth of mold and improve your indoor air quality.
If you deal with fluctuating relative humidity, we recommend using whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers to add and remove moisture as necessary.
Whole-House Air Purifiers in Oakville
There are several issues that can plague the air outside your home. However, many residences have indoor air quality that’s worse than what’s outdoors. If you don’t open windows and doors very often or use exhaust fans or ventilation devices, you can experience a high concentration of particulate matter.
A whole-house purifier can often remove as much as 99.97% of the particulate matter in your air. If you suffer from allergies, consider investing in a unit that utilizes a high-efficiency particulate air filter, or HEPA for short. These filters have a very tight cellular composition that traps all kinds of contaminants, even mold spores and bacteria.
You can also invest in activated carbon filters to reduce odors, smoke, and volatile organic compounds, as traditional filtration doesn’t trap these contaminants. Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs for short, are off-gassing chemicals that come from solvents, paints, varnishes, cleaning products, furniture, carpets, and much more. These chemicals can cause several health problems, like a higher risk of cancer, headaches, nausea, stomach upset, and chronic inflammation.
- Optimal health
- Reduction in allergens
- Protecting HVAC system integrity
- Ideal comfort
Particulate matter can circulate through your home, but it can also accumulate inside your heating and cooling equipment and ductwork. This can lead to system issues, which will need professional attention. This can get expensive over time. You may even need to replace your furnace or air conditioner prematurely because of ongoing system strain.
We can talk to you about the use of UV light filtration, electrostatic filtration, and other methods of improving your indoor air quality as well.
