Most people love springtime because of warmer weather, increased daylight, blooming flowers and animal life. But for millions of Americans, spring also triggers the start of dreadful allergy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, it\u2019s hard to escape these pesky allergens even from the comforts of your home. Allergens are just one of many contaminants that can wreak havoc on your home\u2019s air quality \u2013 and your family\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best methods of improving your home\u2019s air quality is through a whole house air cleaner.<\/strong> If you\u2019re interested in eliminating allergens, pollutants and contaminants in your home for good, give the experts at A-1 Mechanical Heating & Cooling a call today to discuss indoor air quality solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Whole Home Air Cleaner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whole house air purifiers work to eliminate contaminants before they get into the ductwork and into living areas. Many homeowners who suffer from asthma, allergies or other respiratory issues can benefit from having one. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, younger people, older adults and people with cardiovascular or respiratory disease spend more time indoors and could see health improvements from having an air purifier installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air purifiers are sold as either stand-up units that can service a room or two, or larger, whole house units that can be affixed right into the HVAC system, mounted between the air handler and the return ductwork. These types of purifiers can service an entire home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Pollutants Found in a Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whole home air purifiers improve indoor air quality by removing up to 99 percent of allergens and contaminants, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Pollen<\/li>
  • Bacteria<\/li>
  • Viruses<\/li>
  • Dust Mites<\/li>
  • Pet dander<\/li>
  • Mold spores<\/li>
  • Tobacco smoke<\/li>
  • Combustion byproducts, such as carbon monoxide<\/li>
  • Lead<\/li>
  • Asbestos<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Benefits of a Whole Home Air Cleaner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Lansing and Grand Rapids area homes with allergy and asthma sufferers greatly benefit from the installation of whole home air purifiers. These systems use superior air filters to remove airborne contaminants as air flows through your HVAC system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the EPA, it\u2019s estimated that people spend about 90% of the time indoors, where air quality can be two to five worse than that outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of the benefits of a whole home air cleaner include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Longer-Lasting HVAC System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Just like a typical furnace air filter, a whole home air purifier helps your HVAC system run more efficiently \u2013 thus extending its lifespan \u2013 by filtering out contaminants that cause it to work harder. Increased stress on the system leads to breakdowns and need for repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Healthier Air<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Obviously, the biggest benefit of an air purifier is cleaner, healthier air. Reducing germs, allergens and dust in your home will reduce health issues, including allergies and respiratory illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
