Investing into an air cleaner

Last winter, I started worrying about the indoor air quality of my home.

In my local area, due to especially extreme weather, the people I was with and I spend a lot of time inside. Breathing in contaminated air can lead to a long list of health complications. Respiratory infection, headaches, congestion, sore throat, sneezing, coughing, difficulty sleeping and frustrated symptoms of allergies and asthma are just some of the more minor consequences. I want to make sure my home is as clean as possible. I believe that dusting, scrubbing and vacuuming aren’t enough. There are potential sources of air pollution in every room. Because of the weather extremes, the people I was with and I need to keep the windows closed and tighten up the thermal envelope to prevent energy waste. Sealing every leak minimizes the workload of the oil furnace and air conditioning however also traps harmful toxins inside. They then get circulated endlessly by the heating and cooling system. Without usual maintenance, the oil furnace and air conditioning can entirely worsen air quality concerns. After baking Christmas cookies, I noticed that the stink spread to every room in the house. While the stink was actually nice, the people I was with and I didn’t absolutely love it in our dining rooms. The stink also lingered for hours. I finally consulted with a local Heating as well as Air Conditioning company and asked about indoor air quality accessories. He explained a variety of options, outlining the pros and cons of each a single, and I ended up choosing an air cleaner. The air cleaner is installed into the ductwork, where it treats the air as it passes through. It sends out positive and downside ions to kill germs and also cause particles to clump together and fall out of the air. The air cleaner further traps dust and other pollutants, combats odors and helps to get rid of smoke, pet dander, spores and more.
